Going Hollywood, Louisiana Style – Part 1
Office furniture is becoming a need and making it big in the movie industry. In Shreveport , Louisiana Office Furniture Outlet, which carries a huge selection of new and used office furniture, framed art, and office equipment, started out simple. Alissa Kantrow, who is a tv and film industry veteran and co-founder of Louisiana Production Consultants, LLC went into their store after hearing it from someone and bought furniture that filled almost half of the showroom. It is said that getting into show business is tough but in this case it seemed to be that luck was on their side.
Kantrow walked into their store after hurricane Katrina for she had absolutely no idea where to get furniture for the production. Soon enough their business was known to other production companies who were in town to film movies or tv shows. Office furniture businesses in the area just bloomed with sales and its role in the industry became of utmost importance. Being in Shreveport was an advantage since the movie industry’s presence has been growing there, and it is advisable to work with the local businesses for it can be difficult to connect with the ones that aren’t local.
So local office furniture stores shouldn’t have a hard time working with production companies all you need is persistence and wait for the changes they can bring. Making contact with companies like film centers, film alliances, even the mayor’s office or chambers of commerce to find out whether there is anything going on in the area is one of the tips Kantrow gave to companies trying to make it big in the movie industry. Call the city’s director of film, media and entertainment, find out which movies and production companies are coming to town and call them.
You have to be assertive in getting pertinent information that you may use to your advantage. For Office Furniture Outlet, luck was a big influence to gaining their success in the movie industry, they also impart advices for other businesses trying to make a breakthrough.
