Merhaba, ben Florida sigortacınız Alper, . Bugün Fort Lauderdale'ın en büyük ev fuarlarından biri olan Fort Lauderdale Home Decor Exhibition Broward Convention Center'dayım. Aslında burada ev dekorasyonu için ilham almak istedim, ancak asıl amacım Türkiye'den getirdiğimiz bir firmayı ziyaret etmekti.

Best Door adlı firmamız yıllar önce Florida'ya geldi ve Miami'de harika bir showroom açtı. Miami'deki en büyük kapı showroom'unu incelemek için buradayım. Showroom'da yüzlerce farklı kapı seçeneği bulunuyor ve bu kapılar modern Amerikan standartlarının çok üzerinde. Manyetik çalışan, kendi kendine kapanan, kapı kolunun elbiselerinize takılmasını engelleyen özel kapı kolları gibi özelliklerle donatılmışlar.

Bugün fuarın ikinci günü, ve buradaki ilgi gerçekten büyük. Ülkemizde üretilen yüksek kaliteli ürünlerin burada ilgi görmesi beni gururlandırıyor. İsmail Bey, Best Door'un buradaki yetkilisi ve sahibi, sigortalarını bizden temin etti. Ürün sigortaları ve montajla ilgili yasal sorumluluk sigortalarını da biz sağladık. Kendilerine teşekkür ederim.

Best Door'a Amerika'da büyük başarılar diliyoruz. Bir sonraki adreste görüşmek üzere. Ben Florida sigortacınız Alper.
