"Hidden Ways to Get Traffic to Your Furniture Store Using Social Media," a Market seminar presented for the National Home Furnishings Association aims to help home furnishings retailers grow their business by using social media marketing.

The seminar will be presented by industry veteran Mike Root, founder of Get Customers Right Now, a new media marketing company. This seminar is free for market participants on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2:30-3:30 p.m., in the NHFA Retailer Resource Center on the first floor of the Plaza Suites.

As a special addition to this seminar, social media and Internet expert Sev Ritchie of Web4Retail will join Root to present actual client success stories of furniture stores who are making money using social media solutions to promote their businesses. This seminar addresses a fundamental shift that has occurred in the marketing of home furnishings businesses. Root, a third-generation "furniture guy," and Ritchie will address the challenges retailers face to capture customer's attention and then will provide some real world solutions that are working for astute retailers across the country.

This seminar will show many of the tricks and techniques of social media that can be easily adopted for the furniture industry. "The Hidden Ways to Get Traffic to Your Furniture Store Using Social Media" has much to do with the strategy of how to integrate a variety of social medias to simply and easily attract qualified customers to your retail business when the customer is ready to do business with you. The idea is that by embracing cost effective new media solutions, personal interaction between your company and the end user becomes infinitely simpler.

Root and Ritchie will share specific strategies that are working along with low cost solutions that retailers can use easily and effectively. Where appropriate they will also offer recommendations of resources that will help save you time and money getting started.
