BRIGHTSTORES IS GOING GREEN:

Coming in January, we will be unveiling our fresh new look for 2009, complete with a new website.   We feel that this new look and colors better reflect our culture, our marketing efforts and our desire to be more eco-conscious/ green.  Our theme for 2009 is “Bring Your Company Stores to Life!”  We will be introducing a number of new product offerings and sales tools, such as new live demo stores, online tours, downloadable sales materials and ongoing webinars.  Keep watching our website for updates!
