NEWGRASS NETWORK NOW REACHES FROM COAST TO COAST
April 17, 2008
Fort Worth, Texas – With the recent addition of authorized representatives in Seattle, Northern California, both of the Carolinas, New York, NewGrass® announces a true coast-to-coast presence as the leader in the artificial grass industry.
In addition, NewGrass® has agreements pending with companies in Massachusetts, Florida, Wyoming, Colorado and Nevada, said company president Greg Goehner.
In Arizona, strong sales and growing demand have meanwhile led NewGrass® to create a new position of Regional Southwest Manager to better serve that market.
The newest additions to the growing roster of high quality installers and distributors who feature NewGrass® are:
- Artscapes, in Redwood City, Calif., about 25 miles of San Francisco, serving the Palo Alto, and Menlo Park areas.
- Supergreen, serving Charleston, S.C. and the area’s resort islands: Kiawah, Seabrook, Isle of Palms and Sullivans Island.
- The Landscape Company, serving the greater Wake Forest/Raleigh, N.C., area.
- Keith Ackerson, an independent landscaper in Westchester County, N.Y.
- Jeff Shaw, in Seattle, who is also a PGA professional golfer.
“We are very excited about the potential with such great representatives in these areas,” Goehner said.
“Water conservation and environmental concerns are on the minds of a lot of people in all of these regions, but people also want a green lawn they can enjoy all year,” Goehner said. “These quality companies and NewGrass® really have a solution for people to meet those demands.”
Michael Patelis is the NewGrass® Regional Manager for Arizona.
“Michael has a great background in sales, and he has super organization skills,” Goehner said. “We’re fortunate to have him as we move into a new phase for the company in Arizona.”
Each of the new members of the NewGrass® lineup is customer-oriented and are locally owned and operated, Goehner said.
TV SHOW FEATURES NEWGRASS FOR ECO-FRIENDLY GREEN LAWN
March 24, 2008
Fort Worth, Texas – NewGrass® has once again received national television recognition –this time for being the smart way to have an environmentally friendly green lawn.
A recent episode of American Shopper, seen on the Fine Living TV Network, featured NewGrass among products to help viewers have an “Eco Green Yard.” The episode airs again on the Fine Living TV Network on March 30, at 10 a.m. Eastern.
“There’s no better way to show off your green grass than with the ultimate in green grass … NewGrass®,” American Shopper host Lesley Ann Machado says at the start of the segment.
“NewGrass® is an eco-friendly alternative to natural grass,” Machado says, while the viewer sees video of NewGrass® installations.
Fine Living TV is the first television network “dedicated to inspiring and empowering people to find the most rewarding ways to spend their time and money, allowing them to uncover the greatest value from their experiences,” according to its Web site.
American Shopper seeks to take “real consumer concerns, compare products and prices, then advise the consumer what to do when the product arrives at their door,” according to its Web site. The show does not accept product placements or advertorials.
“It says a lot about the reputation of NewGrass® when a show of this caliber and with its audience comes to us, unsolicited,” NewGrass® president Greg Goehner said.
“It’s even more affirming,” Goehner said, “that they wanted to highlight NewGrass® in connection with environmental concerns and water conservation.”
NewGrass® was previously featured on Bob Vila, the nationally syndicated home improvement show, and on Modern Marvels, the History Chanel show. Episodes of Designing Spaces and Dinner and a Movie featuring NewGrass® are currently in pre-production as well, Goehner said.
