ORRA, Inc.
ORIENTAL RUG RETAILERS OF
AMERICA, Inc.
A not for profit
organization supporting Oriental Rug Retailers, Wholesalers,
Importers and Service Companies.
ORRA, Inc.
is a vibrant organization established in 1969 for retailers of
oriental rugs.
ORRA was formed to bring high standards and ethical
practices to a business fraught with itinerant sales and
misinformation. Over the years, ORRA has become known throughout the country as the
organization to depend upon for reliable Oriental rug information.
ORRA has responded to thousands of inquiries from
consumers and media.
ORRA developed the Certified Rug Appraiser Program.
This program certifies an appraiser of oriental rugs
after an exacting examination consisting of both written and
visual identification of a wide variety of rugs. This program has
been so successful that our CRA’s are accepted as experts by the
banking and insurance industries in the U.S.A., and Canada, and by
most, if not all, states.
In another area, we work closely with our
members in the Consumer Protection Program. We are in
contact with most state attorney generals regarding the problem of
fraudulent sales, Going-Out-of-Business-Sales, deceptive advertising
practices, etc.
We publish our quarterly
ORRA NEWS
informing our members of the latest information on business,
new members, interesting articles and activities at the conventions
and market trends and various updates. Our Consumer Education
inserts allow our members to offer the public a variety of
informational pieces in an economical format.
ORRA, INC.

site includes informative articles for consumers and retailers. All

OF ORIENTAL RUGS” booklets. This full color publication is an
informative teaching aid, as well as a gift, for your customers.

The
ORRA Annual Convention provides an opportunity to build
valuable relationships with other members of our industry.
ORRA
offers valuable employee training opportunities
through our convention seminars. Our speakers are nationally known
experts. We are proud to say many of our speakers are often
ORRA
