Maple Key Madness Doesn’t Make it Easy to be Green

May 17, 2012 Bob Environment, Green Initiatives, University Furniture, University Loft Company

Here in Central Indiana, spring brings a rain of maple keys. You know, those weird maple tree seed-thingies. As kids, we called them “helicopters” or “whirlybirds” because they spin like a helicopter rotor when falling from the sky.

Posters on the Dorm Room Wall? University Loft Has Outlasted Them All.

May 7, 2012 Bob Customization, Environment, Green Initiatives, Innovation, Quality, University Furniture, University Loft Company

This is just a guess, but I’ll bet at least 3 out of 10 college males in 1976 had a dorm room wall adorned by that famous poster of Farrah Fawcett in the red swimsuit. The poster was so popular (the biggest seller of all time) and so iconic that Farrah’s swimsuit was added to [...]

Better Ingredients. Better University Furniture. University Loft.

May 4, 2012 Bob Environment, Green Initiatives, University Furniture

As a marketing aficionado, I pay attention to such things as taglines, unique selling propositions, and how companies express their competitive advantages. One series of TV commercials always makes me nod in appreciation of the tagline used. You’ve probably seen Papa John’s pizza founder (and Indiana native) John Schnatter saying “Better Ingredients. Better Pizza. Papa [...]

Luck’s On Our Side, but University Loft Furniture for Student Housing Has Always Been a Sure Thing

April 30, 2012 Bob Awards, Community, Environment, Green Initiatives, Innovation, University Furniture, University Loft Company

As I write this post, it’s draft day for the National Football League, and our Indianapolis Colts are poised to select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck as the number one draft pick. While not all top picks succeed in the big leagues after success in college, all indications are that Andrew Luck has what it takes [...]

April 20, 2012 Bob Environment, Green Initiatives, University Furniture, University Loft Company

It’s a commonly held belief that there is strength in numbers: Two heads are better than one. All for one, one for all. The more the merrier. And on and on. That’s why University Loft is particularly proud that so many – we’re talking hundreds upon hundreds – of colleges and universities across America and [...]

April 3, 2012 Bob Customization, Environment, General, Green Initiatives, Innovation, Personalization, University Furniture, University Loft Company

1. Looking back, my college days were among the best times of my life (but they would have been way better if I’d had University Loft student furniture in my dorm room). 2.

What if Movie Classics Featured University Loft Student Furniture?

March 30, 2012 Bob Comfort, Customization, Environment, Green Initiatives, Innovation, Quality, University Furniture, University Loft Company

I love classic movies. And not just the old classics, but some newer gems, too. As I was looking through the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) list of the Top 250 films as ranked by IMDb users, a few titles popped out at me, and then a few more, until I found myself reimagining the storylines [...]

March 29, 2012 Bob Customization, Environment, Green Initiatives, Personalization, Quality, University Furniture

Did you know that there’s an actual term for the fear of long words? Ironically, it’s this: hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. Say that three times fast. Or not. There are lots of terms that denote one kind of fear or another. You probably recognize claustrophobia (fear of being closed in or confined in a tight space), acrophobia (fear [...]

March 23, 2012 Bob Comfort, Customization, Environment, Green Initiatives, Innovation, Personalization, Quality, University Furniture

We recently bought a juicer for my household. You know, one of those super-fast spinny contraptions that extracts nutrient rich juices from fruits and vegetables so we don’t actually have to eat carrots and celery and kale – oh my!). As we tried out different recipes to help us achieve our nutrition goals, it occurred [...]
