If you're at the High Point Market this week, check out the new Homefurnishings.com site in the Retailer Resource Center on the first floor of Plaza Suites. When I first heard about it, I couldn't help but think that the features and functions sounded very similar to Homeyet.com, the initiative launched in September by Las Vegas World Market Center as part of its "Is it Home Yet?" advertising campaign: • Both sites have put a lot of time and talent into building editorial content, design tips and planning tools to entice shoppers, home decorators and stylish nesters to peruse their Web pages. • Over the next couple of years, WMC and NHFA are spending in the seven...Read More
