Furniture World Magazine

Furniture.com - at http://www.furniture.com - the online leader revolutionizing the way people buy furniture, introduces "Personal Shopper," a new service that makes it easier for consumers to find just the right pieces to enhance their homes, Furniture.com, Inc. President and CEO Andrew L. Brooks announced today. Personal Shopper offers the services of Design Consultants who act as personal shopping assistants at no cost to the consumer. "Creating just the right look for a room or home can be frustrating and time-consuming - often requiring visits to several stores or leafing through endless catalogues searching for just the right pieces," Brooks said. "Furniture.com now offers 'Personal Shopper,' a unique service through which our expert Design Consultants make furniture shopping easy by doing much of the shopping for the customer to their specifications, filling the shopper's personal showroom with recommendations." Added Brooks, "Often customers know what look they want, but don't know how to achieve it or don't know what will look good. Furniture.com's Personal Shoppers make it even easier for customers to find what they want - even if they don't know exactly what they're looking for." To access Personal Shopper, consumers log in and answer a few simple questions about the room they are decorating, the piece or pieces they are looking for, and their budget. Furniture.com's Personal Shoppers then search through the thousands of items offered by Furniture.com, select their favorites, and place their recommendations into the customer's personal showroom. Customers are notified by e-mail that the showroom is ready for their review. Personal Shopper is Furniture.com's latest offering of value-added information for customers redecorating their homes. Furniture.com already offers "Reading Room," in conjunction with Amazon.com featuring the 'best of the best' books on home furnishings, interior design and style, selected and reviewed by Furniture.com's own Design Consultants. Furniture.com also offers "Furniture Facts" to help customers understand furniture and decode the language of style and design, and preferred customer e-mail newsletters that deliver the latest information on specials as well as furnishing and design trends.
