Shopping for Furniture with Search Engines

Filed under: Sales/Discounts/Other — Tags: , — The FQ Team @ Sunday

Although this post is titled “Shopping for Furniture with Search Engines”, these shopping sites can improve your online shopping for any product.

So, without further ado, here’s the key shopping features of the major search engines.

Google Product Search

Google Product Search can be accessed from the “Shopping” link at the top of Google’s home page. The following example is for a search request for a “modern red leather sofa”, which Google instantly produces over 2,900 products to choose from. Furthermore, you can sort these products by relevance, price, product rating, and seller rating as shown below.

In addition to the above features, Google Product Search allows you to sort by specific price ranges, search by product category, brand, stores, and seller ratings by stars. This can be found at the bottom of any product search result page as follows.

Yahoo! Shopping

Yahoo! Shopping can be accessed through the “Shopping” link under the Yahoo! logo on their home page. Although Yahoo! Shopping isn’t as feature rich as Google Shopping, it allows you to sort search results by price, department, and store. In the image below for a search for “modern red leather sofa”, Yahoo! Shopping only produced a little over 200 results in comparison to Google’s Product Search results of 2,900 plus. It should also be noted that Yahoo! charges stores to be included in their shopping results, whereas Google does not charge for inclusion in its search results or accept payment for better placement.

Bing Shopping

Bing Shopping can be accessed through the “Shopping” link on the left side of Bing’s home page. Although Bing is innovating the world of search, their product searches produce significantly less results than Google or Yahoo! For example, for the same product search of “modern red leather sofa”, Bing produced 98 search results, which is less than half of what Yahoo! produced for the same search phrase and 2,800 less than Google. Bing Shopping allows you to sort shopping results by category, brand, price, best match and “cashback only” as shown in the image below.

Keeping Manufacturing Jobs Here in the US

Came across this press release while doing some research for FurnitureQuest and thought that people in the industry should read and think about this as well as consumers. In other words, we’re back to our mantra of buying American Made.

Whether it’s a new furniture set, car, clothing, etc., please try to buy American Made products. Remember, we’re all in this economy together and things aren’t going to get better, nor stay that way, if we keep sending all of our hard earned dollars overseas. OK, will step down from the soap box now and congrats to Hickory Chair, Baker Furniture and Henkel Harris for making the tough and right choices.

National Art Interiors + Design Recognizes Hickory Chair, Baker Furniture and Henkel Harris for Keeping Manufacturing Jobs Here in the US

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) July 4, 2009 — National Art Interiors + Design (NAID) is celebrating Independence Day with Shop Local Raleigh. NAID will be joining dozens of other “Independents”, independently owned local businesses, Tuesday during a celebration at North Hills. National Art Interiors + Design first opened its doors in Raleigh in 1944 and remains one of the oldest locally owned, and most highly respected, furniture and interior design firms in the Triangle area.

The month of July, Raleigh’s National Art Interiors + Design (NAID) recognizes three Southeastern furniture companies who are dedicated to keeping manufacturing jobs here in the United States.

Hickory Chair was founded in 1911 in Hickory, North Carolina. They take great pride in employing the best local artisans and craftsman. Each piece is made to order and can be customized in nearly any way imaginable. While their designs are taken from all across the globe, their production remains right here in North Carolina.

The seeds that grew to form Baker Furniture were planted in Michigan by a Dutch immigrant named Siebe Baker. The combination of Old World techniques and New World innovations allowed Baker to grow quickly in the 1920’s and set them among the top producers of the furniture industry for years to come. Today, Baker lines range from traditional, with Historic Charleston, to modern, with their Lexicon Collection. Most of their most popular lines are still manufactured in North Carolina!

Rising from a basement in 1946, Henkel Harris has grown to represent the finest in American furniture production. They are headquartered in Winchester, VA and maintain their promise to keep manufacturing on American soil. Still a family owned business, Henkel Harris specializes in 18th and 19th antique reproductions and their classic Henkel finish is one of a kind.

National Art Interiors + Design is proud to carry these lines, who have stayed true to their heritage and represent the finest furniture America has to offer! Additionally, NAID is Raleigh’s only location where consumers can purchase Baker Furniture and Henkel Harris.

National Art Interiors + Design first opened its doors in Raleigh in 1944 and remains one of the oldest locally owned, and most highly respected, furniture and interior design firms in the Triangle area. The firm recently moved into its new showroom in Midtown at 5041 Six Forks Road and is open Monday thru Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Saturday appointments are available upon request.
