My name is Johnny Arntsen and I am the Director of Marketing here at
Great Priced Furniture. I have been working here for nearly a year and a half now. As I said, I am in charge of marketing, and what that means is I oversee and handle all of the ways people hear about and interact with us here at Great Priced Furniture. Here are some of the ways I do that: (please take a minute and notice how many times I used "here" in that paragraph...wow...I need to change that)
- Search Engine Optimization - I do what I can to make sure that every time you type in a furniture related keyword on Google or some other search engine that our name comes up.
- Paid Advertising - This includes the little pinkish-purple box at the top of Google that says "Ads" or "Sponsored Ads". Companies create these ads and pay every time a user clicks on them.
- Social Media - I am in charge of our Twitter and Facebook accounts. We use these to broadcast news, updates, and deals concerning GPF. But most importantly, we want these to allow our users to get in personal with us here at GPF. Even though we are a "large" internet retailer, that doesn't mean we have to be detached from our customers. You, our customers, are the reason why we do what we do. We love to sell furniture, and we love to see you get what you need for your home. And we want to be here for you when you need us. If you have questions, concerns, or just want to talk, we are here...I am here. Feeling down? Tweet or Facebook me and I'll send you a joke or a kind word. Why? Because you matter. And more than just seeing you happy because you get the furniture that you need, I want you to know that we care, and that you are important.
Now that you know what I do, how about I share just a bit more about myself.
I am 22 years old. I was born in Long Island, New York but don't get any ideas..my family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina when I was 1 so I am absolutely a local. (If you are unaware, Wilmington is where
Great Priced Furniture is located). Wilmington is on the coast and has been rated in Oprah's top ten places to live, but don't tell anyone that because we get enough people moving here. Growing up on the coast was wonderful. I've done most everything you can do near or on the water, but my two favorites are jet skiing and frisbee. I've thrown a frisbee just about anywhere you can imagine. From sandbars in the Bahama Islands, to the Mall in DC, off the tops of mountains, in rain, snow, blistering heat...you name it, chances are I've done it. And to show for it, I've had more sprained ankles than one should be able to handle.
Moving right along. I graduated from the
University of North Carolina Wilmington with a B.S. in Business Administration. My concentrations were
Entrepreneurship & Business Development and
Finance. And you would think after majoring in Entrepreneurship that I would know how to spell it, but no, spell check had to do its thing :).
There is much more I could tell you, but I would hate to bore you any longer. If you have any questions for me, please email me at johnny.arntsen@greatpricedfurniture.com.

THANKS and remember that YOU ARE VALUABLE!
