Response from Indy Home Design Center
[member name removed], Thank you for taking the time to review DirectBuy of Indianapolis. The purpose of this letter is to thank you for your feedback and advise that it’s a new day at DirectBuy! I think if you used DirectBuy you would realize it is not a rip off. It’s disappointing to me that you’re would join the club and not use our services. I would like to extend your membership fee for one year. This will take place today. You will be able to use our new and improved website too! In addition, I personally would like to invite you into the club so we can educate you on all the changes DirectBuy has made. In addition to exciting new offerings such as the DirectBuy Travel program which was recently launched, the leadership team has implemented a new set of standards and policies to strengthen the brand by becoming more transparent in its business practices. First, we now have a new leadership team at the corporate office. This new team is led by new Chief Executive Officer Mike Bornhorst, who comes to DirectBuy with a strong background in customer service after spending time in leadership positions with companies such as ADT and Culligan Water. "While DirectBuy has been around for more than 42 years, it is a time of significant change for the company. There are many exciting changes underway that will reshape the way consumers interact with and benefit from DirectBuy," said CEO Mike Bornhorst. Along with new values and a new vision, DirectBuy also promoted Dylan Astle to the newly created position of Vice President of Member Experience, with Dylan's primary goal being to enhance DirectBuy's customer service and member engagement for their hundreds of thousands of current members. His experience working with Wal-Mart and Restoration Hardware in similar capacities make him an ideal candidate to help lead DirectBuy's member experience team. In addition to evolving service and marketing practices, DirectBuy is hard at work enhancing the values that members experience every day with more than 1 million products from hundreds of well-known brands. Leading the charge is newly promoted Vice President of Merchandising Jim O'Keefe whose merchandise planning expertise was forged during his time with OfficeMax and True Value. The result is a leadership team focused on providing service, selection, and value that will improve members' lifestyles and make doing business with the company easier than ever. We care about you and your perception of our company. I would love to have the opportunity to win you back. I think once you learn of all the great changes since you joined, you will use DirectBuy and know we do care about our members. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Genta Powell (franchisee owner)

[member name removed], Thanks for taking the time to review DirectBuy of Indianapolis. I want to thank you for your business and let you know we do care about you and all our members. I noticed that you remodeled a kitchen thru DirectBuy and was happy because this was a great area of savings. Holly our cabinet designer takes time with our members to design a kitchen of their dreams. We carry brand names like Kraftmaid, Omega, Norcraft, and Brookwood. I do know that on these brands you will save anywhere from 30 to 45% depending on the brand, color, wood finish and size of the kitchen. In addition, we carry several types of counter tops. This is another area of 20 to 30% savings. The selection is endless and you can literally go and pick out your own slab of granite. We also carry sinks, faucets and lighting. These all help with the kitchen remodel and you will save! There are several memberships and any membership is better than paying retail the rest of your life. Depending on what you’re doing and what you need to purchase will help when you’re ready to decide on a membership. However, keep in mind having a membership is for all your purchases not just the big ones. We carry small items like shoes, shirts, luggage, jewelry, vases, dishes, toys, door knobs, coffee cups, wine glasses, pots and pans and even luggage. A membership from DirectBuy is free if you use it and with our new enhanced website it is even easier to purchase products. The value of a membership is only measured by you and if you use DirectBuy you will save. Last month we did six hundred and eleven thousand dollars in orders. This tells me that we MUST be saving members tons of money! The membership at DirectBuy is worth every penny as long as you’re going to be making purchases. Everybody’s lifestyle is different and that is why DirectBuy carries a wide range of products and quality. Our value proposition, for the right family, is irrefutable. DirectBuy has been around for 43 years and enables members to shop in a stress-free environment while receiving the attention and life–altering savings they deserve. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Genta Powell (franchisee owner)

Wow! 20 years, you are great! We do appreciate you! I can’t imagine the thousands of dollars you have saved thru DirectBuy in 20 years. Since there are more than 100 locations across the United States and Canada this allows our members to purchase anything have it shipped almost anywhere! The selection that we offer keeps members like you coming back to DirectBuy whenever there is a purchase to be made. The new website helps members shop more because they actually can shop from their computer at home. Since DirectBuy was founded in 1971 we have grown in many ways and are still growing! We are always evaluating the manufacturers that we carry and want the members to get the best buck for their dollar. The corporate office implemented a pricing promise so DirectBuy will be number one in pricing! I am confident you have seen the changes in the Direction magazine in the past 20 years. Most members love the quarterly magazine that is mailed to your home and great to shop from. DirectBuy now offers Service Net which is an extended service plan that is available to all members. It is an incredible value and an added service to our members! This extended warranty is available on most major appliances, fitness equipment and consumer electronic orders, Membership benefits don’t end after the merchandise has been delivered to your local showroom or home. DirectBuy’s Local Provider program provides members with an extensive list of professional services, including Design, Delivery and Installation. Installation Services include: o Flooring – carpet, hardwood, laminate, cork, tile o Fireplace, Furnace, Air Conditioning o Plumbing o Electrical o Window Coverings – blinds, shutters, custom draperies o Windows & Doors o Painting o Cabinetry Installation Another, one of the BENEFITS of your DirectBuy membership is the opportunity to take samples home to make sure they work with your décor. Simply bring any samples you wish to borrow to the front reception desk and the Receptionist will help you sign them out. One of the PRIVILEGES of your DirectBuy membership is the opportunity to purchase bona fide gifts for special occasions, including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and holidays. Well, we believe that over the 20 years this is just a few things you love about being a DirectBuy member! Thanks for your business and loyalty!

DirectBuy has also recently relocated and nearly doubled the size of its distribution center, which allows it to service more manufacturers, speed delivery of merchandise and reduce costs for its members.
