RENOVATING IN SOUTH AFRICA

In response to industry demand, the recently launched print edition of the Buyers' Guide has been a passion project for renowned designer and decorator Marcia Margolius, who is also the author of the acclaimed blog, "Marcia loves it" on the SA Decor and Design website. According to Margolius, the revamped Buyers' Guide has completely transformed the manner in which buyers establish connections with suppliers and service providers in the industry.

The guide doesn't just showcase suppliers - readers have the opportunity to delve into brands with the aid of vivid, full-colour photographs throughout the 504-page publication. The innovative and easy-to-use icon system enables the reader to swiftly recognize the range of products offered, accompanied by a user-friendly QR code for scanning and direct connection with suppliers.

The 25th edition of the Buyers' Guide has undergone some formatting changes and now comes in a convenient 220 x 220mm size with a durable hardcover, perfect for any coffee table. According to Ian Hurwitz, the publisher, this new size is easier to handle and has been specifically designed to accommodate the new content. 

Paving the way for change

According to Marcia, the COVID-19 pandemic may have caused disruptions in exhibitions and live shows, but it also prompted the industry to adjust to new ways of doing business. Marcia emphasizes that their website, www.sadecor.co.za, has become the leading platform for the decor and design industry in South Africa. 

She further adds that they are grateful to their loyal advertisers who have taken note of the opportunities that a combination of print and digital platforms provides in expanding the decor industry's reach. Additionally, they express their appreciation to their affiliate sponsors, BFS-Barker Furniture Group, Blum and Sealy, who generously sponsored their latest competition, giving participants a chance to win a bedroom makeover valued at R50 000.
