Nationwide Launches Redesigned Website

Furniture World News Desk on 10/28/2014

Nationwide Marketing Group, the largest buying group in North America, reported that it just recently launched a new website. The group’s revamped site includes a look and feel similar to Nationwide’s intranet site, features a cleaner layout, refined navigation, refreshed copy, new graphics and a strong social media presence.

“As we continually encourage our independent retail members to be visible online and maintain a strong presence, we saw an opportunity to refresh our Nationwide brand as well,” says Alex Knock, Communications Director for Nationwide.

In addition to the group’s revamped site, Nationwide’s regional divisions, including their Canadian division Cantrex Nationwide, also updated their sites to house their group specific information, but built into the same style as Nationwide’s site. This includes Nationwide’s category specific groups, Nationwide RentDirect and Specialty Electronics Nationwide.

Frank Sandtner, SVP of Member Services says, “Our primary goal of the new site is to facilitate giving new website visitors well organized and easy to navigate information about Nationwide. The visitors can get a sense for the depth of our member services and self-select if they want to take the conversation further, which really represents the power of inbound marketing”.

Take a look at the new website here at www.nationwidegroup.org. The new site also offers access to a digital version of the group’s Independent Thinking magazine. The most up to date issue of the magazine will be available through the site following its release at Nationwide’s twice annual PrimeTime! shows.
