Ronald McDonald House Charities® Reaps Rewards From La-Z-Boy® Furniture Fans and Followers:The winter holidays make up a “season of giving” and this month, for every new “fan” or “follower” of La-Z-Boy on Facebook or Twitter, the company will give back to Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®). Throughout December, La-Z-Boy will donate one dollar to RMHC for every new “fan” (or “like”) on Facebook, and every new handle that follows @lazboycomfort on Twitter, up to $10,000.“We want La-Z-Boy fans to help us show support for Ronald McDonald House Charities,” said Jennifer Sims, interactive CRM manager for La-Z-Boy. “With the help of our social media followers, we can work together to make this a happier holiday season for the families who rely so much on RMHC.”
In 2008, La-Z-Boy became the official furniture provider to RMHC nationwide, providing further comfort and enhancing the supportive environment of a Ronald McDonald House or Ronald McDonald Family Room. Ronald McDonald Houses are located near hospitals throughout the United States and are there to keep families together when their children are in the hospital – they offer strength and stability to families during their time of greatest need.
Throughout the month, La-Z-Boy will be updating their Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/lazboy) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/lazboycomfort) pages with a call to increase their supporter-base. In addition, the company is utilizing la-z-boy.com and their consumer database to build buzz and encourage new fans and followers. These new users will not only help raise money for RMHC, but also will have access to exclusive sneak peeks, sweepstakes, local store events and promotions, design tips, videos, RMHC news and more.
“This is an exciting campaign for La-Z-Boy that matches dollars for fans and followers – it's a very easy way for the public to get involved and give back to a great cause, and all it takes is the click of a mouse,” said Sims.
