The Value of Furniture eCommerce Websites
There are many ways that retailers can execute an eCommerce strategy for their business. What is most important is to have a focus on this critical channel. Customers have moved well beyond simply using home furnishings eCommerce websites to browse for initial merchandise selections. Today, home furnishings websites serve an abundance of critical business functions.
Browsing
Your website and powerful digital merchandising are critical to being in the running with shoppers. The vast majority of customers research the retailers they want to shop with and narrow down their favorite selections based on your website experience. This is also where customers will find your locations and in-store selections while planning a showroom visit.
Self-Service
Your customer service reps are busy catering to pressing customer needs. Your website can streamline their workload, allowing the focus to be on high-priority service issues while directing your customers to independently manage routine tasks with the account management area of your website. These tasks can include tracking open order statuses, scheduling and confirming deliveries, looking up product details, or submitting reviews.
Buying
Did you know that Statista projects online home furnishings sales will reach $150 B?

Payments & Financing

Having online portals to facilitate efficient and secure online payments can support your customers in successfully managing their open finances while ensuring you collect your owed receivables. Further, providing a portal for your customers to review their payments and upcoming invoices is valuable to self-service.
