Qualifying products fill a variety of customer needs and points can be redeemed for great rewards. There is no limit on the number of points that can be earned. Dealer sales reps must register to earn points at www.safcousscorewards.com, and they can be redeemed there too. Initially, three Safco seating products are included in the program. The über™ 24/7 task chair combines comfort and durability and was designed with the big and tall person in mind. The Metro™ task chair provides superb comfort and modern styling in high back, mid back and extended height configurations. And the Cava® chair combines classic styling and comfort at an affordable price. “It’s exciting to bring programs to our dealer partners and their sales staffs, because they benefit everyone,” said Rich Aievoli, vice president and general manager/furniture category for United Stationers Supply.
