WESTERN SALES CO NEWSLETTER

12|16 ISSUE

Hello and Happy December! We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. If you're feeling the way we're feeling, you might be thinking something like, "December already?" or "AAAAAAH!"

But here we are, with the new year just around the corner. We want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a most wonderful holiday season. We sincerely enjoy working with our incredible customers and genuinely appreciate your business and support. Here's to a peaceful and prosperous 2017.

We are also delighted to announce that dahl Valve has hired us to be their new representative agency! As you may know, dahl is famous for the unsurpassed quality of their plumber-friendly products, including angle stops and finished plumbing valves. We will have more information for you in the coming months.

The holiday season is a busy time for everyone. With all the shopping, cooking, and plans, who has time for work, let alone extra reading? So as always, here are your "I don't have time for this" highlights:

Sneak preview: jaw-droppingly beautiful new free-standing tub from MTI
Final issue of the 10-Minute "Expert" Series (TOTO Edition)
Gatco's gorgeous Glam collection is now in stock

Now for the last Western Sales Co newsletter issue of 2016.

TOTO

10-Minute "Expert" (TOTO Edition) | Here it is, the last of the 10-Minute "Expert" training brochures. Don't be sad – we'll release them again as we make updates! Download the final brochure here.

Updated Price File | Not a price change yet – just an update with pricing info on CalGreen-compliant lav faucets. Download here.

Carlyle II/Carolina II Design Change | The only toilet that is better than a TOTO is a TOTO toilet that was redesigned to improve performance even more. (It's a subtle, rolling change – no new model numbers needed.) Download product bulletin here.

MTI

Sneak Peak – Lily Free-Standing Tub | Wowza! Introducing the tub so stunning, it's already won an award (2017 Iconic Award for Interior Innovations) and it hasn't even been released yet. And you won't have to wait too long to spec it. We've heard a rumor that it will be released before the end of the year. Download the spec sheet here.

NEW Counter-Sink Price Sheet | Effective immediately, please use this updated price sheet for Counter-Sinks pricing.

STEAMIST

Steamist Digital Shower System | As a reminder, Steamist recently launched the beautifully minimalistic and innovative digital shower system that allows the user to control up to three shower outlets with the push of a button. Download the supplemental price book for details.

VILLEROY & BOCH

Bathroom Inspirator | I know what you're thinking: "That's not a word." But it is a feature on Villeroy & Boch's website and it's actually pretty fantastic. It allows you to choose from a selection of bathroom styles and then plug-in different products so that you can see how they would look in a room. Try it out.

GATCO

NEW Glam Collection | We've been anticipating the release of the gorgeous Glam collection, and now here it is. Gatco has announced that it is in stock and available for order. Check out the beautiful design here.

GEBERIT

Washlets & Wall-Hungs | As we announced above, Winter is Washlet season. (Just you wait – this will catch on.) But uh, oh! Your client really wants a wall-hung toilet, and you can't use a Washlet with one of those, right? No! You most certainly can. Geberit makes it easy. Download this brochure and learn all about it.

OLIVERI

Sales Incentive Program | December is the final month to participate in the current Oliveri program, so don't forget to redeem your sales through our Western Rewards program. Not a participant yet? There's no time like the present. Visit western-sales.com/rewards to learn more, sign up, and redeem your sales.

TOM'S TECH TIP: 10-Minute "Expert" (TOTO Edition)

Well, here it is: the final installation of our 10-Minute “Expert” series. Swooping in for the finale, the TOTO edition is here. TOTO might be the line we represent that you’re most familiar with, but it also has the most complicated technologies, so it doesn’t hurt to take a look. Do you remember exactly how eWater+ works? How about EcoPower? CeFiONtect (pronounced “SanaGloss”) is optional for many toilet models, but did you know that it’s also featured on some lavatories?

If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, then… well… fine. Aren’t you the TOTO smarty-pants! But I bet you can’t answer the following question without first checking the brochure.

Question: According to the brochure, what is the model number for the CalGreen-compliant three-port diverter that is compatible with thermostatic shower valves?

Send the correct answer to lauren@western-sales.com by December 20, 2016, and receive a $5 Starbucks card. $5 not quite enough for a 20 oz extra-shot, no-foam peppermint mocha? Talk one of your associates to sign up for our newsletter, and you’ll earn another $5 card.

Thanks for reading our newsletter!

Best regards,
Lauren
