Anyone feeling creative this morning? This appears in a brochure (website?) for a furniture designer. It's the heading for a paragraph that continues:
Bei Firma XX steht der Kunde im Vordergrund. Eingehen auf Kundenwünsche, gemeinsames Eruieren von individuellen Wohnbedürfnissen sowie Beratung in Stilfragen gehören hier zur Tagesordnung.
I need something catchy! Thanks
