ATG STORES LAUNCHES NEW NICHE WEBSITES

Kirkland, WA – ATG Stores, the parent company of five e-commerce sites and 12 showrooms throughout Washington State, announces the launch of 13 new niche sites to be added to their family of stores.  The sites to be launched are: CrystalLightingUniverse.com, ModernLightingUniverse.com, ExteriorLightingUniverse.com, ModernRugUniverse.com, KidsRoomUniverse.com, ModernBathUniverse.com, CeilingFanUniverse.com, DesignerLightingPortfolio.com, TowelWarmerStore.com, TiffanyLightingUniverse.com, AreaRugUniverse.com, and BilliardSupplyUniverse.com.

These new niche sites were created to help specialized shoppers shop within a chosen category, style, or theme.  “By offering sites dedicated to specific product catalogs, customers can more efficiently search for and locate the exact products they are looking for,” said Donald DeVange, ATG’s Search Engine Specialist.  These niche sites will also give ATG’s manufacturers more opportunities to feature their products to a targeted customer base, and will help support the new ATG Stores brand.

ATG hopes that these niche sites will provide customers with a comfortable and effortless shopping experience, while providing them with the same dedication to value and support as the original sites.  These new sites will present shoppers with a customized look, as well as special features, articles, and additional product information as significant to each site.  As an added convenience, sites such as KidsRoomUniverse.com and CrystalLightingUniverse.com will feature additional products across multiple channels, such as crystal cabinet knobs and décor items, and kid’s sinks, hardware, and rugs.  From this format customers will have the ability to shop for a wider selection of coordinating products within a chosen theme, all from one place.  

What’s next for ATG Stores?  The company plans to add even more niche sites to its family, and will also be expanding into other divisions of home design.  With a 12th new local showroom recently opened in Smokey Point, WA, ATG continues to strengthen its role as one of the top providers of decorative lighting, plumbing, flooring, and hardware in the nation.
