overstockArt.com Invites You to Transform Your Space in the “View in a Room Twitter Sweepstakes”

Sept. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- The popular online gallery, overstockArt.com, is celebrating the full launch of its innovative “View in a Room” application with the “View in a Room Twitter Sweepstakes.” The sweepstakes, which commences on Friday, Oct. 1, 2010, invites consumers to tryout the new web tool and transform their space.

overstockArt.com’s new web application makes purchasing art online a personalized and interactive experience, revolutionizing the way people buy wall décor on the web. “View in a Room” allows consumers to upload an image of a wall in their home and then place oil paintings that are available through the online gallery onto their walls. This new visualization tool allows users to gauge how a painting will look like in their space - something they cannot do in their local gallery.

“We are confident consumers will embrace ‘View in a Room,’” stated David Sasson, CEO of overstockArt.com. “The ‘View in a Room Twitter Sweepstakes’ is a fun way for us to introduce this unique new way of shopping for wall décor online to the public.”

The sweepstakes starts on Friday, Oct. 1, 2010 12 a.m. ET and runs through Sunday, Oct. 31, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. ET. At the end of the sweepstakes period, three winners will be selected at random. The three (3) selected individuals will win a 20” x 24” inch museum quality handmade oil painting reproduction available on the site, http://www.overstockArt.com.

1.   Go to http://www.overstockArt.com and click on an oil painting of your liking.

2.   Click on the “View in a Room” button on the page.

3.   Sign-up for a free account and upload an image of one of the rooms in your home.

“We are one of the few online décor retailers investing in creating tools like this to make shopping for art online a unique experience,” said Sasson. “We are expecting to increase our conversion rate by 30 percent with this new tool throughout the holiday season because it’s going to make shopping for art online that much easier.”
