www.GoFurnish.com announced that it has launched the furniture industry’s first and only social and professional network specific to home furnishings. The website has been developed based on the same platforms as the popular social site, Facebook.com, the professional networking site, Linkedin.com, and the Asian product sourcing site Alibaba.com. The purpose is to bring together people to provide a one stop source for various segments of the furniture business to talk, discuss industry issues, and to provide ideas and solutions for the many complex issues facing us today
The founders of the site said, “With the huge interest and acceptance of social and professional networks over the past few years, we view GoFurnish.com as a great way to help bring our industry into the 21st century. The vision for the site is for all sectors of the furniture industry to come together and help achieve the common goal of furthering and growing our business by collaboration.” The founders have pointed to the rapid membership since the site debuted just a few weeks ago illustrating the interest in the concept. Since the inception, groups have been created on the site for closeout opportunities, design concepts, job postings, not to mention just plain old gossip. Founders state, “ We want this to be a tool for people to use professionally, but most importantly we want it to be a fun experience to bring our industry together.”.
Officials are introducing many new features yet to come as the site continues to develop and look for feedback from members on what content they want to have access to. Plans to have a dedicated area showing what major retailers are promoting in their specific areas, access to logistics and distribution sources, and direct links to overseas sourcing opportunities are just a few features that will be added in the coming weeks.
