Furnitureland South, the World's Largest Home Furnishings Showplace, Using New Blogs to Communicate with Customers

High Point, NC, November 14, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Blogging, which led the digital community and gives the website visitor the ability to leave comments or ask questions to an ongoing series of articles has stormed the scene and Furnitureland South's use of some new blogs to communicate with customers shows its leadership among national furniture retailers. Furnitureland South, the world's largest home-furnishings showplace, is laying plans for additional features for its blogs in early 2008. Plans include frequent blog postings and a continuous presence in the online forum to address customer needs, questions, suggestions, and design ideas.

The blogs (available at www.furniturelandsouth.com) will include frequent posts by members of the sales and design team and furniture care experts. Currently, there are two blogs. One which pertains to current topics of interest such as color coordination, space planning and the other discusses furniture care and construction. In addition, a discussion forum allows online users to ask questions of Furnitureland South’s experienced design team. Product announcements and company news will also be highlighted.

This latest move complements Furnitureland South’s overall shopping experience, which boasts the largest retail furniture store in the world, an experienced team of nearly 200 sales and design experts, and a comfortable shopping atmosphere that features the Bear Rock Café, a Starbucks coming soon and a dedicated nanny program.

“We want to do more than just sell furniture,” says Jason Harris, executive vice president. “Our design team provides meaningful expertise to customers when they visit our store, but this blog allows us to interact with customers both before and after their Furnitureland South experience. Designing or redecorating a home is a complicated process, and we’re proud to provide a well-rounded series of services to the public whether they shop with us or not.”

With more than 1 million square feet of home furnishings and accessories, Furnitureland South provides acres of exquisitely designed vignettes, expert designers and a white-glove national delivery service. The store is a multi-day destination for discerning consumers from every state and many foreign countries. Money Magazine has said "a visit to Furnitureland South is like a visit to a home-decorating theme park." Furnitureland South is located on Business 85 between Greensboro and High Point.
