FFI has three customer groups, which it calls the value, quality, and luxury groups. The value products are targeted to lowprice motels that are looking for simple furniture, while the luxury furniture is targeted to the very best hotels. The value line is attractive to a variety of hotels and motels that appreciate the combination of quality and value. Currently there has been a small increase in the quality and value lines, and an appreciable increase in demand in the luxury line, reflecting cyclical changes in the marketplace. Luxury hotels are now in more demand for business travel, while a few years ago, the value segment was the most popular for business travelers. FFI wants to be able to respond to the increased demand with increased production but worries about the increased production cost and about price setting as its mix of customers and production changes.
