What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt Sales

Whether you’re inheriting a legacy or you’re new to the home furnishings industry, it’s easy to get stuck focusing on showroom sales and studying sales data. After all, if you don’t make sales you can’t pay your sales people, support staff and rent.

But what most people don’t realize is that the pieces of the business they’re overlooking (like vendor catalog data) actually COSTS them furniture sales.

Vendor catalog data – meaning the size, weight, color, fabric and romance language assigned to specific products – is the exact information that your customers want and need when making a purchase decision. Especially when buying something as significant as home furnishings.

Not only does vendor catalog data enhances your store’s online presence through enhanced SEO and keywords that make your product and store easier for people to find. It also serves as a valuable sales script on your showroom floor.

You see, when your sales staff uses vendor catalog data when sharing a conversation with a prospect, it personalizes the interaction and increases sales. “Why yes – this is available in Emerald Green.” “Actually, you won’t have to hire a moving company to get it in your apartment – it only weighs 25 pounds. Just call a friend and you should manage just fine!”

Alternately, we understand the day-to-day challenges you face as a Next Generation Furniture Retailer. You probably don’t have time to reheat the cup of coffee that’s still in the microwave from this morning – much less update vendor catalog data manually.

Listen, we understand the challenge – which is exactly why our company was formed - we help retailers, like you, create an easier, more efficient way to import the information you need to secure sales success.

In fact, 82% of retailers say that product data received from brands needs improvement. That’s a lot of data that requires your time and attention.
