Ashley Furniture HomeStore Launching Facebook & Twitter Pages to Connect with Customers

ARCADIA, Wis., July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Ashley Furniture HomeStore (http://www.ashleyfurniturehomestore.com) announces the concurrent launch of its Facebook and Twitter pages on July 20, 2010, offering consumers a better way to connect with the company online.

Now, customers are able to follow Ashley on Twitter (www.twitter.com/AshleyHomeStore), while the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/AshleyFurnitureHomeStore) allows visitors to browse the hottest styles in furniture and stay updated on the company's latest promotions, exclusive offers, community events, news, store locations, charities and more.

As part of the launch, Ashley will also be reaching out to the online community in an effort to raise much-needed funds for the City of Hope, a cutting-edge research and treatment facility for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases.

"Ashley Furniture Industries has raised over $4 million for this wonderful non-profit facility. But there's much more research needed," says Ben Thorud, Senior Vice President. "So we'll be asking our Facebook community to get involved. For every "Like" we receive in the first two months after the launch of our fan page, we'll donate $0.25 to the City of Hope, up to $10,000."

In addition to taking part in the City of Hope charity initiative on Ashley's Facebook page, customers can also learn about the company's other philanthropic and community outreach efforts under the In the Community tab.
