Effie Dodge, owner of BoxDrop Mattress & Furniture, is a woman on a mission. She is a 21st century entrepreneur. Four years ago when her kids were little, she was looking for a way to capitalize her business abilities and spend as much time as possible mothering her three children. She researched a unique way to run her mattress and furniture business as a “by appointment only showroom and warehouse facility.”
Effie has the only Maine franchise of BoxDrop Clearance Mattress & Furniture Center. It is located at 55 Grove Street in Waterville. She began her journey on Bay Street in Winslow with her 800 square foot showroom and 8 mattresses. Today she operates a 5,000 square foot warehouse showroom.
The day I visited, a truckload of couches, sectionals, recliners and mattresses had just been delivered. The crew was busy finding room to incorporate them into inventory.
Along with Effie, her 17-year-old daughter, Jenna, and 15-year-old son, Emryn, work part-time to learn the business. Effie’s youngest son, Forrest, who is 6, enjoys spending time at the showroom too. Geoff Lidstone, from Skowhegan, is Effie’s only full-time employee. He has been part of her family for over 15 years. Geoff is in charge of organizing inventory and working the sales desk.
The way the process works is really efficient. Customers call in, email or reach out on Facebook. Effie or Geoff will have a conversation with them. Once they learn their client’s needs they schedule an appointment in the showroom.
The BoxDrop philosophy is to offer brand name products such as Ashley, Serta, Steve Silver, Elements and may other major national brands direct from one distributor that pulls inventory from all of the major manufacturers. Their inventory is always changing. All sales are final, thus offering remarkable discounts of 20 to 80% off retail prices.
Effie is very proud of their 10% additional discounts to all Veterans and First Responders.
Effie is focused on providing the best Furniture and Mattresses at the lowest prices in the area. She said “the big box stores, Marden’s and other local outlets can’t match her prices. Most customers have already been shopping before calling her. They know what they want for their homes, condos or summer camps. It’s Effie’s job to satisfy their needs.
Effie said, “operating this cost-effective operation and having a good work / life balance is living the dream for me and my family!”
