Company Newsletters

One effort to stay connected with our customers is through our company newsletters. We post them on our website under the "About Us" tab. Our Spring 2011 issue is a special edition featuring many photos from our Open House & Customer Appreciation Days. We also send the newsletter electronically to customers with email addresses. If you would like to be included, just send us an email message at holly@hdsvans.com. We will be sure to add you to our distribution list.

Connecting

We finished our Open House & Customer Appreciation Days at our Jacksonville, Birmingham, and Atlanta locations. Chattanooga's Open House is scheduled for May 14th and Nashville will follow on May 21st. One insight we gained from these events is the sincere enjoyment we received from connecting with our customers while sharing lunch together. The day was not about sales or service. It was about connecting with our current customers and introducing ourselves to new friends. We often refer to our company as the "HDS Family." As staff, we feel like our coworkers and customers are extended family members. As a wheelchair van dealer, many of our customers purchase multiple vehicles from us, so we are lucky to have the opportunity to build and maintain relationships for a long time. Our Open House & Customer Appreciations Days have demonstrated to us just how special those relationships are, and how blessed we are as a company.

Do you know someone who struggles with mobility? Maybe you have an elderly neighbor or a relative who suffers from a physical ailment who would benefit from a mobility device, such as a turning automotive seat. These seats are engineered to allow the driver or passenger greater ease in entering and exiting a vehicle. Turning seats can be installed in most makes and models of automobiles and trucks. If you would like to learn more about turning automotive seats, please call our toll-free number at 1-877-HDS-VANS and ask to speak to one of our knowledgeable Mobility Consultants.

After the Storm

We are so sad to learn about friends and colleagues who were affected by the tornadic storms in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. Our own branch manager of HDS Birmingham is dealing with his house smothered and smashed by large trees. This is a time where we help each other. If you use a power wheelchair and your house is without power, let someone know who can find a generator for you. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
