The Meuble du Québec buying-local campaign was held from August 24 to September 20, 2020 and the AFMQ team is thrilled with the visibility obtained! The habit of asking to see Quebec furniture first at retailers may not yet be at 100%, but this awareness campaign has certainly moved the cause in the right direction. Not to mention that many retailers have ordered Meuble du Québec display tools to identify local products in their stores. Here are some highlights:
