Andrew Winans has joined PFP as one of the company's regional managers, focusing on promotions located in the western United States. Winans will work directly with PFP's Western Sales Manager, Tom Gonzales, expanding PFP's presence in the region. Although Winans will assist with promotions throughout the United States, his primary area of focus is on retail promotions within nine western states including: California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah, from his offices in Reno, NV.
Winans was formerly head of Reno based Winans Furniture, a third generation, mid-priced retailer, that was founded in 1965. The company closed in 2005, due to a poor business climate, after a store closing promotion managed by Planned Furniture Promotions.
Said Winans, "I was so impressed with the way PFP managed our sale and with the results they achieved, that I decided to join the company. I'm looking forward to helping other retailers who are in difficult circumstances and to showing them how a successful outcome and stress relief is possible. I believe in face-to-face communication with clients and I'm ready to jump on a plane and visit and consult with any retailer at a moment's notice. Believe me, I can truly feel their pain."
Winans resides in the Reno, Nevada area with his wife and four children. He is a graduate of Biola University in California.
