What Our Members Are Saying
“The membership fee is WELL WORTH it. I saved
nearly $5,000 just by getting a better price from
my suppliers. Being part of The Network gives
me a competitive edge that no small business
can accomplish alone. Opportunities like this
are rare and The Network was responsible for
making it happen.”

“The Network boosted my bottom line —I am
thrilled with the new vendors and their product
lines. The Network introduced me to great
suppliers I wouldn’t have investigated otherwise.
The Network is doing a great job servicing the
needs of my small interior design firm and
connecting me with quality vendors.”

FAQs
“How much will I save through
The Network™?”
Your savings depend on your purchases. You can expect
to save 5% to 20% or more depending on the products
you purchase. Savings are even greater when utilizing all
of the monthly promotions.
“How do I place orders?”
Nothing changes. You place orders directly with
the suppliers while retaining your own individual
accounts. America’s Window Covering Buying Network
negotiates extra discounts and quarterly promotions
for you. These discounts will appear on your invoices
immediately upon purchase.
“Is this a franchise?”
No. It is an organization of window covering professionals,
designers and workrooms working together to purchase
at lower product costs. There is NO stock to buy, NO
minimum purchase requirements.
“Do I give up my independence by joining?”
No, you are still an independent company and your
sales and profits are still yours. You retain your own
account numbers and current supplier representatives.
“Must I purchase all of my products from
The Network™?”
No. This is your decision. Of course, the more you buy,
the more you save. You make the final decision regarding
your suppliers.
“Do I keep my sales rep?”
Yes. You still maintain your relationship with your existing
sales representative.
“Where is The Network™ located?”
We are located in Libertyville, Illinois — a northern suburb
of Chicago.
