A deep understanding of design trends is crucial. In the United States, CFS dedicates substantial resources, financial and human, to product and design research, analyzing current and upcoming color and style trends. Before we bulk manufacture any product we import a container and test market it in what we have defined as the 5 differing market places in the United States. These 5 individual market places in which we pre test each product and its color before producing it for mass market are the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest, the Midwest, the North East and the South East. This testing process not only ensures our customers that the colors that are manufactured will sell but it ensures that we minimize the manufacturing of slow moving products.
