Flooring the Consumer Blog Participates in Bathroom Blogfest '07 Posts Discuss LadiesRooms'. Impact on Consumer Retail Experience

Kennesaw, GA (PRWEB) October 24, 2007-- Flooring The Consumer (http://flooringtheconsumer.blogspot.com), an award-winning blog by Wear-Dated (http://weardated.com)® Carpet Fiber's director of in-store innovation, Christine Whittemore, will participate in the web's annual Bathroom Blogfest. Twenty-two bloggers -- all women except for one -- have signed up to contribute blogposts discussing the importance of ladiesrooms to the customer retail experience. The blogfest will take place from October 28 to November 2, 2007, coinciding with National Kitchen and Bath Month.

Although often overlooked, the condition of a retailer's bathroom significantly affects the consumer retail experience--positively or negatively. Bathroom Blogfest, the brainchild of Stephanie Weaver and Susan Abbott, both authors and consultants, addresses this impact from a woman's perspective. Because women make most retail purchasing decisions, their opinions about retail stores, customer service, and even bathrooms can make or break sales.

"When we think about customer experience, one experience is common to all of humanity -- the need for bathroom facilities," said Abbott. "It's a great topic for exploring ways to think about retailing, using a lively and engaging topic everyone can relate to."

Originated in 2006, the annual Bathroom Blogfest brings together female bloggers specifically focused on customer experiences. These women discuss the good, the bad and the ugly about ladiesrooms and why they can make or break a retail experience.

"All of us participating in Bathroom Blogfest strive to promote the importance of creating great customer experiences," Whittemore said. "In the midst of Kitchen and Bath month, we wanted to emphasize just how critical restroom impressions are to female consumers and therefore to flooring retailers."
