 Our memorial day sale was a huge success thanks to all the great Tarps Plus customers and employees. We discounted our over stocked tarp supply and gave away some used tarps as well. We are planning a 4th of July sale and plan to have similar specials. The sale will start one week before the holiday.
Send some videos of tarps being used in a unique way and get a chance to win our monthly sales contest. The first video will be chosen the day after 4th of July. |

Every year we give out thousands of tarps to the homeless during Thanksgiving time and set out to give a little more each year. We have just confirmed tarp drives in several cities across America. Last year we celebrated Thanksgiving with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at the L.A. Mission. We gave out over 2000 tarps to people who are living on the streets. The tarps are essential during the cold and rainy month and help to prevent hypothermia. We have just confirmed that we will be at the Mission again this year to celebrate the 2012 Thanksgiving holiday and help the needy at the same time. Tarps Plus we also being giving out tarps in New York, Washington D.C. and Chicago.
Tarps are not the only supplies that are needed. We would love to have other companies and contributors join us. If you would like to be a part of of the Tarps Plus annual holiday tarps drive, please call at at: 1-800-838-3057. |

In efforts to show our customers new ways to use tarps and share more about us, we have made a new promo video. The video was made by our very CEO Michael Stein. Before Michael Started Tarps Plus he was a film maker, so he had an advantage in making the minute and half video.
The video is first of many that will be featured on our "How To" page. The page will cover all types of uses for tarps in addition to videos of people using tarps in unique ways. The video can be viewed at the bottom of our home page. If you have an exciting way that you use tarps, submit us your video and we will post it up and share it. |

We are happy to announce that Tarps Plus will be opening up a brand new state of the art facility in Taylor Texas. Our team met with the city and they were impressed with our proposal and we were impressed with what the city is offering. Texas will enable Tarps Plus to have a centrally located hub to offer fast and cheaper shipping. Our multiple locations now give us an edge over other tarp suppliers.
A dynamic back-end software has been put in place to make sure orders are organized by the location. This elaborate process insures each customer they will get the cheapest shipping rate and fastest shipping time. |
