Reshare® launches eCommerce partnerships for dealers and suppliers in home furnishings Today marks the launch of Reshare’s first eCommerce partnership program in home furnishings. Following successful partnership solutions in other durable goods categories, Reshare® began this year to explore partnership possibilities for independent home furnishings retailers and their suppliers. “We’ve studied the home furnishings market,” explained Reshare CEO Adam Southam. “We found that traditional, independent furniture stores are looking for ways to survive and thrive in a new environment that includes lifestyle retailers like Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn and vertically integrated retailers like Ethan Allen and Drexel-Heritage. Reshare gives independent retailers and independent manufacturers a chance for incremental sales through eCommerce. Robb & Stucky, Toms Price, Honquest and many independent dealers are participating in just such a program dubbed Brick ‘n Click by Sligh Furniture Co. Supported by Reshare’s patented Distribution Relationship Management® (DRM) software, the Sligh Brick ‘n Click partnership with dealers is launching now on www.sligh.com.” Reshare® Corporation is the leading Distribution Relationship Management® software and strategy company with the only patented channel management solution that enables brand owners to sell online directly to end users without circumventing valuable channel partners. With over 20 years of online experience across a multitude of industries Reshare® offers software and strategies that resolve channel conflicts and enhance relationships between channel partners and end users. “More than ninety percent of consumers want to see home furnishings at retail before purchasing”, outlined Sligh Furniture Company Chairman Rob Sligh. “So a main thrust of our mutual effort to serve consumers is to display products at retail. Consumers educate themselves on www.sligh.com and then go to an authorized Sligh dealer to see products and buy. Seven percent of consumers don’t want to take the time to drive around to retail stores to see furniture before buying. For reasons of convenience, selection and speed they’d rather purchase through the Internet. That small but meaningful consumer segment is growing faster than the overall market for home furnishings. In response to this segment demand, the Sligh Brick ‘n Click partnership with dealers is launching now.” “DRM is the only solution that ensures equitable treatment throughout its distribution channel,” Southam continued. “DRM helps Sligh and their Dealers serve consumers 24/7/365. Consumers are able to select and purchase the product they want from an entire product line online and choose their preferred retailer for local service, support and delivery. DRM distributes revenue shares to the retailer and the supplier. Both the retailer and supplier pay normal sales commissions and typically earn normal margins on eCommerce transactions. Sligh is the first of several furniture manufacturers to utilize DRM to make all of this possible.” You can visit Reshare at www.reshare.com. For additional information,
