Jobs

When national and international retailers purchase products for their companys’ stores, they should take comfort in knowing that they can count on their strategic partners to provide high-quality furnishing, fixture and lighting products without hassle or concern. Jess Masonheimer has been a player in the American retail industry for years, and he’s responsible for finding, vetting and procuring quality fixtures and lighting products for his company. We interviewed Jess to share how he works with vendors like Ideoli to help his company craft the perfect shopping experience for its customers. Check out the video on our Vimeo channel! Jess works with hundreds of vendors to help bring his retail design team’s vision to fruition, and he does this through a detailed approach. He is responsible for finding the highest-quality products needed to keep his company’s stores operating—from the floor, to the ceiling, and everything in between. His expertise has helped his company expand and enter new markets that service millions of consumers. Jess travels to his vendors’ factories to oversee the production. His hands-on approach helps guarantee that the products used to furnish his stores are of the highest quality. Given his experience, Jess has worked with many different domestic and foreign companies and has seen a wide range of product qualities, from very low to very high. Ideoli works hard to support Jess and his entire team to provide them with high-quality furniture, fixtures and lighting products. We help them through the customization of products, delivering prototypes for review, and rolling into full production to support their hundreds of locations. Ideoli is there to support our retail industry partners with high-quality products that help them reach their ultimate design goals. 

Ideoli not only designs and manufactures world-class custom furniture and fixtures, but we literally go the extra mile by going on site to oversee complex product installations, especially when it’s the first installation for one of our clients. One of our most original, complex and rewarding projects involved conceptualizing, designing and fabricating a unique decorative light fixture for a nationally-recognized retailer. The fixture closely resembles a real diamond and serves as a showcase fixture for our client. The client envisioned something on a piece of paper and left the rest to us. After months of renderings, prototypes and adjustments, the team agreed on the final design and we rolled into the production process. From there, ideoli founders George Stroumboulis and Chris Hartswick went on site to our client’s store in Orlando, Florida, to oversee the installation of this original fixture. This dedication to making sure the client’s vision is realized is the top priority for ideoli and is the foundation of our business.For this installation, having our fixture be the focal point of an 8,000 square foot retail space and seeing it come to life is truly exciting and humbling. With a custom design, imported quality materials and an advanced LED color-changing system, this diamond will help drive more attention to the store, generate interest from potential customers and help increase overall store revenue. Ideoli is committed to helping clients realize their vision from concept to installation, and we’re proud to have been a part of this unique project in Orlando. 

So many people are passionate about sports, but not just because they are fun to play and watch. From providing a healthy emotional outlet to bringing communities together, sports have many positive effects beyond what happens in the game. In particular, we think youth sports are important because they can help kids learn important qualities like teamwork, leadership and responsibility. Our Co-Founder and CEO, George Stroumboulis, has a nephew that plays youth hockey in Ontario, Canada. The team needed sponsorship for new jerseys, so Ideoli stepped up to sponsor their jerseys for all of their tournaments across Canada.  Ideoli has had the good fortune to work with amazing clients and find success, and we think it’s important to give back to the communities. Our team shows its support for others in a variety of ways, and here we decided to literally show it for another team. We’re honored to be able to sponsor jerseys for this youth hockey team, not only because the jerseys look great, but because hockey supports kids’ development and helps build their character. Reaching our goals allows us to support theirs, and we look forward to continue giving back in ways such as this. Ideoli takes pride in invigorating youth hockey and local communities.
