(Los Angeles, CA) – Jina Park, CEO and Founder of PLUSH is proud to announce her partnership with Baby Furniture Plus Association (BFPA). PLUSH continues to expand in anticipation of their 2013 PLUSH Show, a luxury baby and toddler trade and consumer show upcoming June 7 – 9, 2013 at the Hyatt Regency Plaza in Los Angeles, CA.
This new alliance is another milestone for PLUSH, and empowers both PLUSH and BFPA to further develop its growth strategy within the juvenile industry.
“Baby Furniture Plus Association is thrilled to announce our alliance with PLUSH – the posh little urbanites show. PLUSH exudes what our juvenile specialty stores are all about and what is essential to help set them apart for a healthy future. Their quest to research the perfect fit of products and vendors that today’s modern parent wants is so exciting to BFPA,” said Beth Jarabek, Executive Director, Baby Furniture Plus Association. “By partnering with PLUSH, our retailers will be on the cutting edge of our industry. They will have direct access to the studies already done by the PLUSH team, focusing on the most trendsetting, eco-friendly and luxurious products available.”
“PLUSH is extremely excited to be partnering with such a respected, established and like-minded organization like BFPA. Their dedication and determination to improve the juvenile industry is inspiring and we are honored to be working alongside such an incredibly brave and forward-thinking group,” said Jina Park, CEO and Founder of PLUSH. “We know there is something inherently wrong in the juvenile industry when the independent retail sector feels like they have been backed into a corner, so we will be joining forces to show the juvenile industry a better, healthier, and much more democratic and truly capitalistic way to do business. BFPA and PLUSH are starting a brand new chapter by organizing members of the independent retail industry into a cohesive juggernaut of success. Come join us as we take some exciting steps to breathe new life into the juvenile industry!”
“BFPA retailers will also benefit from being a part of the largest and most dynamic focus group of consumers and retailers in the juvenile industry, which PLUSH brings together at their show.
With BFPA’s 26 year history as a dedicated association to the juvenile retailer and the strength of PLUSH with their progressive, fresh, and innovative ways we plan to offer a networking channel for BFPA members to continue to grow and thrive in,” continued Jarabek. “Collectively our motivation is for a strong and vibrant industry and we look forward to great things. As we grow with PLUSH we encourage new member stores to join and be a part of our bright and healthy future.”
