LOS ANGELES, June 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nova LifeStyle, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVFY) or (the “Company”), a U.S. based innovative provider, designer and distributor of modern LifeStyle products, announced today that the Company has seen a significant increase of its products in global online sales over the past year, largely due to an increased number of products being sold online through a combination of direct retailer and third-party sellers.
The Company has successfully built its brand recognition in the United States, with its “Diamond Sofa” brand having been in the furniture business since 1992. In addition to selling to the top 100 furniture stores nationwide in the United States, Nova LifeStyle currently sells online through direct relationships such as Wayfair.com and Houzz.com, and through over 20 different third party sellers. These third-party sellers will generally promote Diamond Sofa’s brand on either their own website or through all of the largest e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon.com.
The Company believes that the continued integration of online retailers into its sales and marketing strategies will increase sales worldwide by building brand awareness and acting as an effective advertising vehicle, and now offers over 450 different product options to retailers across the world (up over 200% from 2016).
The Company believes in promoting an entire lifestyle, not just selling furniture, and the ability to sell furniture in this way has helped increase brand awareness and has contributed to the overall growth in sales.
