Retail executives from 30 furniture retailers across the United States and Canada attended the CONNECT-themed conference. 

“We chose the theme CONNECT because today’s consumers are knowledgeable, empowered shoppers who are constantly connected via their devices to any touchpoint you create,” said Andy Bernstein, founder of FurnitureDealer.Net. “To compete, retailers need to optimize every part of their business — people, technology and partnerships — to attract and keep these ever-connected customers.”

The eight furniture retailers recognized with awards of excellence included:

• Agoura Hills, Calif.-based Reeds Furniture for Excellence in Online Merchandising

• Syracuse, N.Y.-based Dunk & Bright Furniture for Excellence in Online Customer Assistance

• Worcester, Mass.-based Rotmans for Excellence in Online Advertising

• Phoenix-based Del Sol Furniture for Excellence in Communicating Merchandise Availability Online

• Holland, Mich.-based Van Hill Furniture for Excellence in Online Differentiation

• Pompano Beach, Fla.-based Baer’s Furniture for Excellence in Engaging Paid Traffic

• Dayton, Ohio-based Morris Home Furnishings for Excellence in Online Visual Communication

“We wanted to recognize clients whose innovative work in omnichannel retailing is groundbreaking in our industry,” Bernstein said. “So we created ‘Badass Awards’ in recognition of their excellence. The term ‘Badass’ captures the spirit of formidable excellence and pathfinding in uncharted waters that deserves special recognition.”
