Top Tier Furniture Retailers Select Showroom Technology's Promotional Kiosk System
Choice of SHOW/PROT kiosk system based in large part on its proven results.
Reston, Virginia - August 10, 2005 – Showroom Technology, Inc. announced today that four leading furniture retailers, including three in the Furniture/Today® Top 100 list, have purchased its SHOW/PRO™ showroom promotional kiosk system. The SHOW/PRO kiosk system enables retailers to encourage customers to sign up for promotional financing prior to shopping and register for coupons while driving targeted in-store advertising and promotions. Sales personnel enthusiastically embrace the kiosk as an integral part of the sales process and an effective way to increase average ticket and the number of sales transactions.
American Furniture Warehouse, Colorado’s biggest retailer with over $300 million in annual sales, understood early on that kiosk technology could improve customer service and its store operation. It had assembled prototype kiosks interfacing with its point-of-sale system to automate certain functions and improve customer service. After being introduced to Showroom Technology, American Furniture Warehouse chose SHOW/PRO as its kiosk system for the future. “We felt confident that Showroom Technology’s kiosk system would enable us to rollout a quality, effective, and scalable kiosk system for customer self-service applications, such as promotional credit application,” said Tony Mitchell, Purchasing Manager at American Furniture Warehouse.
Top 100 furniture retailers, Big Sandy Superstore and Wood Armfield, also chose the SHOW/PRO kiosk system based on the quality of the system, its promotional features, and Showroom Technology’s business relationship with their consumer finance partner, CitiFinancial Retail Services.
Johnny Janosik, Inc., a rapidly growing furniture retailer based in Laurel, Delaware, selected Showroom Technology for its promotional kiosk initiative. Frank Gerardi, Sr., Chief Executive Officer of Johnny Janosik, Inc., understands the SHOW/PRO kiosk will do much to improve customer service and, at the same time, increase the retailer’s sales performance. “We chose Showroom Technology’s promotional kiosk system for its impressive features, attractive styling, and direct integration with our promotional finance lender.”
