Nationwide East recently announced that their Social Media Program, launched at PrimeTime!, has proven to be a great success for Independent Retailers.
With over forty Nationwide East Members signed up for the program, these retailers are already seeing a return on their investment. Facebook and Twitter engagements are growing, social page likes are increasing, advertising on both social media platforms are running, and in return, retailers are seeing an increase in traffic and sales. Retailers are also excited to be visible in the furniture, appliance, bedding and consumer electronics industry again.
With the help and advice from Nationwide East’s team of social media experts, several dealers have recognized the enormous value of creating videos on their cell phones and enabling a following of subscribers. Viewers then eagerly watch their pages just to see their next tips, offered products and sales. From this, members have gained many new opportunities to connect with consumers in their marketplace.
Angelia Stewart, Owner of Jones-Light Furniture in Stevenson, Alabama, said “Since signing up with Nationwide East’s Social Media Program, my business has seen a drastic increase in sales and traffic! I have gained 132 page likes in a month and my page now reaches over 13,000 people in my community. When it comes to my Facebook page, Nationwide East does it all, I cannot thank them enough for helping me grow my business!”
Dave Robison, Director of Nationwide East, says “When we launched this program two months ago we wanted to provide our members with the necessary resources to grow their business through social media, I am happy to announce we have done just that! It’s exciting to hear success stories from our members on a daily basis.”
