Heuga TV advert


We have a great new Heuga TV advert in the making which should be hitting the screens in the UK next week.

This is all around making flooring fun and being creative with your floor using Heuga carpet tiles. Initially this is fairly small scale and will be featured on digital lifestyle channels, however we are hoping to work on a load more publicity and promotions in the coming months.

Click on the link below (Heuga.com/create) to see the page I have put on Heuga.com that we will promote in the advert.

Heuga Sales Launch

We had our sales launch last week which was a mixture of informative presentations along with some fun. Most of the informative stuff was around the launch of our new wool carpet tiles range ComfyCord as covered in a previous post.


The fun stuff involved a golf clinic which was quite fun (although I don't think I'll be taking up golf as a hobby!)

We also hired bikes (in true Dutch style) to go riding across Holland to get to a boat.

I managed to grab a few snaps of the team including Patrick Riley (Heuga Managing Director) whilst riding along - much to the amusement of my colleagues as I tried to ride in a straight line.

In true dedication to his customer, Ton (one of our Dutch Account Managers) was talking shop whilst riding along!

We had some dinner on the boat and travelled round the little island where we were staying then rode back to the hotel - this time in the dark after one or two beers which was interesting and luckily we all got back safely!

It was a nice evening and a really good opportunity for the Heuga teams to chat with each other.

Maarten Brons organised the event and did a great job - even providing ponchos for us all in case it rained (which, luckily it didn't!)

As you can see from the photo, Maarten enjoyed himself too!

Heuga Brochure Viewer

My contribution to the sales launch was presenting a couple of tools we have developed on the Heuga website. One of these was the Virtual Room Tool covered in an earlier post and the other was our new brochure viewer which is another new play thing on Heuga.com

This brochure viewer means you can flick the pages of our catalogue online and click on products to go straight into our online catalogue to order samples and view more details about products.

You can click on the magnifying glass cursor to zoom in on the pages and you can click on the product name or tile image to find out more about the product.

This tool requires flash to view. Please click here to see this on our Design Assistant page on Heuga.com.

ComfyCord 100% Wool

We are having our internal Heuga sales launch meeting this week and we will be mainly talking about our new comfycord wool carpet tiles.

These are our latest range - soft ribbed floor squares available in 6 natural colours. I think this is a really good looking range and it is installed quarterturn for a subtle patttern.

As a major plus point for this launch, comfycord is climate neutral flooring. Click here to go directly to Heuga.com to read a bit more about that...

Now I've got all the product details online, I am finishing off the email campaigns that will go out to all our online customers in the UK, Holland, Germany, France and Belgium. I will need to present these to our team tomorrow so best get on with them!
