Our Furniture Focus
If you say "furniture website" many people think the opportunity is to improve the transaction - essentially make it easier for consumers to purchase the products. This is not the case for furniture. The big opportunity for furniture is to make it easy for people to find products and get information. People use the internet to conduct research about products to purchase. Furniture shopping is a time consuming and labor intensive process that most people don't do too often in their lives. The internet represents an incredible way for retailers to make it easier for customers to conduct decorating and furnishing research. That's what FurnitureDealer.net is all about. Furniture products are very unique. There are many many choices available. Many of the products can be customized in different fabrics or wood types and even with different features. The furniture retail business is an expensive business in many ways - because of high selling costs, high distribution and logistics costs and slow inventory turnover.
A successful furniture website needs to address the unique aspects of furniture products, and it must take into account the large amount of information that customers and salespeople need to solve their decorating problems. FurnitureDealer.net has built a web solution and has an approach that is specific to furniture, and it works.
A lot of money has been spent trying to sell and market furniture online. I can tell you first hand that I don't think that selling furniture online all across the country is not a sustainable business model. I don't think furniture will be successfully sold through sites like Amazon.com that are far better at selling smaller ticket items and products that are less complicated for consumers to purchase. I don't think retail furniture stores, retail furniture salespeople or retail furniture advertising will go away. Click Here to see more on this subject. The Internet will not eliminate the brick and mortar furniture store. It will however, dramatically impact our industry - in ways that aren't even imaginable at this time. I can tell you first hand as a consumer and as an online furniture retailer that the Internet is really useful to help people shop for furniture. The Intenet is an opportunity if you get involved and you figure out how your company can use it to better compete and better serve customers in your marketplace. The Internet is a threat if your competitors figure out how to do this before and better than you do.
