Win an All Expenses Paid Trip to the 2012 Home Furnishings Industry Conference in Palm Springs
ROSEVILLE, California – The WHFA (Western Home Furnishings Association) and the NHFA (National Home Furnishings Association) are excited to announce a sweepstakes being held on Facebook and in the High Point Market Retailer Resource Center for an all expenses paid trip to the 2012 Home Furnishings Industry Conference (HFIC) in Palm Springs, California. Participants can enter a business card into a drawing in the Retailer Resource Center during market week, or they can visit the HFIC Facebook page to enter online. The contest will run for ten days, October 21-31, 2011, with a winner being announced on November 1, 2011.
WHFA and NHFA have teamed up with R&A Marketing, a marketing and advertising agency, focused in furniture marketing, from Columbus, Ohio, to help bring this promotion onto Facebook. R&A has developed numerous Facebook applications that allow retailers and businesses to bring interactive promotions to their Facebook page. One out of every 8 minutes is spent on Facebook by its over 750 million active users, creating a powerful tool for businesses to utilize and make more money. Kevin Doran, vice president of R&A Marketing had this to say, “Social media, and especially Facebook, has become such a vital part of successful marketing programs, that it just made sense to use the power of Facebook for the HFIC contest.”
With a theme of California Dreamin’ ~ Gaining the Edge, the 2012 Home Furnishings Industry Conference will show attendees how to gain a competitive edge in today’s marketplace while following their dreams to build a better future for their business and the industry. Education will be created to meet the needs of all attendees; retailers, manufacturers and services providers. The two and a half day event features over 24 educational sessions, a product showcase offering exclusive pricing from top industry manufacturers and service providers, a fun filled golf tournament and networking opportunities throughout.
To enter, visit www.facebook.com/HomeFurnishingsConference and click on the sweepstakes tab on the far left side. All you need to enter is your name and email address—it’s that simple. Business card entries will also be accepted in the Retailer Resource Center during High Point Market.
During High Point Market be on the lookout for R&A Marketing and WHFA teams who will be asking retailers questions, “What’s your California Dream?” and “How do you gain the edge?”. Responses will then be posted to the HFIC Facebook page, so visit it often and hear what Market-goers have to say!
