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 [...]

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.

The Student Furniture Recipe for Success from University Loft

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 [...]

March 2, 2012 Bob Environment, Green Initiatives, Quality, University Furniture, University Loft Company

Why don’t some student furniture manufacturers talk much about the materials that go into their furniture for college and university student housing? Maybe its because they aren’t as proud of how their products are made as we are at University Loft Company. ULoft student furniture is made from solid wood and is strong enough to [...]
