Portland, Ore. – Grand + Benedicts (G+B), a global designer and builder of retail displays, announced a second all-time monthly sales record for October. G+B’s October sales beat their June previous high, and they also surpassed a new milestone in sales for the first time in company history.
While some increases in sales are chalked up to a stronger economy and fewer supply chain issues, much of this achievement is attributed to business strategy and valuable employees.
“ Each of you contributed to these monumental achievements”, said John Phillips, CEO of Grand + Benedicts, in an email that went out to all employees. From a bustling warehouse expediting orders at record rates to a sales team working hard to keep up with increased demand, it was a collective effort across all departments that made this happen. New company websites expanded the customer base, and the design team played a pivotal role in helping clients succeed.
“ These are very exciting times, and a party is in order! ”, said Phillips. “ We plan on pulling out all the stops to make this celebration special. ”
