Chicago, IL- November 24, 2008 - Chicago based Your Furniture Link (www.yourfurniturelink.com) recently announced it is inviting furniture manufacturers world wide to climb aboard the consumer driven web site for 90 days free, with no strings attached. With global exposure through web sites and home tv shows such as Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and HGTV's Frank Fontana's My Design Advice, consumers and web hits will come from 60 countries and said to be viewed by one billion.

The site was founded by Vicki Semke of Mig and Tig Furniture, Chicago and Jerod Lazan of Mortise and Tenon, Los Angeles. Each of the retailers has grown their web sites as consumers from all over the globe stop and shop for living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture on their respective sites. "As our media presence grows, we have customers outside our metros we can't properly service or ship to efficiently. Not only is this a lost sale for our store, but also for our vendors. We need to keep our vendors in business so we can have a great selection of furniture for our own stores." says, Vicki Semke, of Mig and Tig Furniture. Thus, www.yourfurniturelink.com was born.

Furniture manufacturers can post up to 12 images of their product line on the site www.yourfurniturelink.com without charge. World wide consumers can shop for their furniture purchases by category, price and style, and then contact the factory directly to be referred to the furniture stores that carry the product line.

"In a slowing economy world wide, we all need to be efficient in showing our wares and keeping customers happy. This information is invaluable and time saving for customers. It is a win, win, for customers, retailers and manufacturers who work collectively in a very fragmented industry." says, Jerod Lazan of Mortise and Tenon.

Yourfurniturelink.com invites furniture manufacturers from around the globe to log on and post 12 product images by December 15th 2008. - no strings attached. Lazan and Semke say "We hope manufacturers enjoy the free ride of exposure for 90 days, and we can continue to grow our furniture community." After 90 days an e-mail will be sent to furniture manufacturers. Vendors then can elect to stay on for a nominal monthly charge, or leave the on-line community. Until now, the idea of furniture retailers facilitating a factory direct furniture connection for consumers was unheard of. This is definitely a rare opportunity for a free lunch!
