Icovia announced that it will give away a 12-month subscription to their Icovia Business Edition space planning product at High Point Furniture Market this April. The contest is open to retailers and manufacturers who can enter by visiting the Icovia booth #11 in the Retailer Resource Center, located on the 12th floor of the IHFC. Like all Icovia Business Edition customers, the winner’s planner will link from their web site and be available in the stores as well. It will also be private labeled to reflect their company’s logo and colors. According to Steve Street, President of Icovia, the winner will almost certainly become another Icovia success story. “In the five years we’ve been developing Icovia, less than 1% of our customers have cancelled their subscriptions.” Street adds, “Once they see the immediate and measurable results Icovia produces, they’re hooked.” To enter the Icovia High Point 2006 Giveaway, visit the Icovia booth at High Point Furniture Market in April at booth #11 in the Retailer Resource Center. Contest rules are online at www.icovia.com/highpoint. 130 Companies Use Icovia: Icovia added 40 new customers in Q1 2006. Over 130 retailers and manufacturers use Icovia now including Ashley Furniture, Lane, Bassett, Thomasville, La-Z-Boy, Storehouse, Raymour and Flanigan and The Brick. Icovia allows these companies to convert prospective furniture buyers into registered leads at a collective pace of over 14,000 new qualified leads every month. This is a critical part of successful retailing considering that the vast majority of these leads would remain unidentified web browsers without Icovia. Eric Tessau, EBusiness Manager for Thomasville Furniture notes the improved ROI they’ve seen since moving to Icovia. “We have seen a 205% increase in the number of room plans per month created compared to our old space planning tool.” Tessau knows about the power of online space planning as a lead generation tool and a way to gain a competitive edge online. He adds, “The beauty of Icovia is that room plans can be shared and emailed to anyone.” According to Tessau, there’s no doubt. “Icovia is far superior to the other online space planning tools that we investigated and previously used.” According to Steve Street, President of Icovia, the numbers speak for themselves. “Some Icovia customers receive thousands of new registered leads per month.” He adds that Icovia has earned its stripes with furniture companies of all sizes. “Even small retailers with limited marketing resources are capturing 30 or 40 new leads monthly and the average customer gets more than 100. Our customers regularly tell us that it’s the best money they’ve spent.” Icovia is giving away a 12-month subscription to Icovia Business Edition.
