Ashley Furniture HomeStores on Twitter, Facebook

Will help consumers connect with company

Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, July 27, 2010

ARCADIA, Wis. — Top 100 retailer Ashley Furniture HomeStores has launched Twitter and Facebook pages as a way for consumers to better connect with the company online.

Customers are now able to follow Ashley on Twitter at www.twitter.com/AshleyHomeStore.

The Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AshleyFurnitureHomeStore allows visitors to browse the furniture and stay up to date on the company's latest promotions, exclusive offers, community events, news, store locations and more.

Ashley also is using social networking to raise funds for the City of Hope, a cutting-edge research and treatment facility for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases.

"Ashley Furniture Inds. has raised over $4 million for this wonderful nonprofit facility. But there's much more research needed," said Ben Thorud, senior vice president. "So we'll be asking our Facebook community to get involved. For every ‘Like' we receive in the first two months after the launch of our fan page, we'll donate 25 cents to the City of Hope, up to $10,000," he said.

The Twitter and Facebook sites were launched July 20.

Besides taking part in the City of Hope initiative on Ashley's Facebook page, customers can learn about the company's other philanthropic and community outreach efforts under the "In the Community" tab.
