Edelman

Greetings from Bertch.

We are all living though some unique and unprecedented challenges.  At Bertch, were proud to have maintained a high level of service to our customers, and appreciate all of you even more as we look to come out the other side of this pandemic.

We are excited to present our first Paperless Spring Bertch Bylines (attached) and updated electronic bath catalog(available on infonet).  Its especially fitting to be doing this electronically as so much of all of our lives are now even more engaged in the virtual world than ever before.

(There is some terrific new announcements you will definitely want to see!)  Both the newsletter and the new Bath Catalog are available by logging onto infonet.bertch.com ( http://infonet.bertch.com/ ). One of the big advantages of using the electronic Bath Catalog on Infonet is that it will always be kept up to date. The pace of change in our industry just continues to accelerate, and keeping up with the changes in paper form becomes more challenging every year. All of the newsletter changes are implemented in the posted catalog, our plan is to continue to share any updates as they become available.

We suggest you resist the temptation to print off multiple copies of the April version of the Bath Catalog since more changes to the oasis custom program are coming soon.

Be Safe and Stay Well.

Happy April, Everyone.
