Furniture World News Desk on 4/10/2014

Profit Management Promotions (PMP), one of the nation's leading furniture sales promotion, liquidation and consulting companies, has hired Pete Timmins as a regional sales manager. Timmins, a 25-year industry veteran, will focus on expanding the firm's services in the Mid-Atlantic United States.

After his honorable discharge from the Air Force, Pete Timmins entered the retail furniture business as a showroom salesperson in 1988. He quickly developed his career into being the sole business owner of a 24,000 sq. ft. furniture retail store. For the next 20 years, Pete experienced extreme changes in business climate, such as mass military deployments, devastating hurricanes, the nationwide housing bubble and recession. His flexible nature allowed him great success in many areas such as advertising, buying and merchandising. Pete responded and adapted the furniture showroom to increase margins during the toughest of times.

Over the years, Pete has become proficient in inventory management and competitive with low, medium and high end Home Furnishings as well as the Mattress and Casual Outdoor areas. Pete has marketed all demographics including Resort, 1st Home and Retirement Communities. He has kept up with the changing trends by attending trade shows around the country, including gift and accessory, casual outdoor as well as the major furniture markets.

Pete is taking his proven strategies "to the streets" by joining the PMP Team as a Regional Manager.

"Our decision to hire a professional of Pete’s caliber supports our strategic growth plan, as well as the needs of our clients throughout the Southeast," said Hector Mustafa, Vice President of Operations for Profit Management Promotions.

Ron Cooper, PMP's Vice President of Sales, added, "We're extremely pleased to have Pete join the PMP team. His experience in all aspects of the furniture industry will be invaluable as we manage our growing list of regional assignments in the near term, and as we broaden our national service offerings over the long term."

PMP has recently launched a series of sales promotions projects in the Mid-Atlantic territory, and it expects to sign on several more clients in the region this month. The firm's expansion plan also calls for hiring additional project managers to staff current and upcoming assignments for powerful promotion events.

Profit Management Promotions specializes in conducting powerful sales promotion events for furniture retailers. The firm's projects include traditional going-out-of-business (GOB) sales, but an increasing number of assignments are focused on retail restructurings, which are designed to keep the retailer in business. The company has a proven track record in helping furniture retailers raise cash or liquidating under-performing stores. PMP also delivers a range of consulting and marketing services designed to help furniture retailers optimize profitability and capitalize on given growth opportunities.

Established in 1985, Profit Management Promotions is headquartered in Jackson, NJ, and maintains regional offices in New York, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
