Empire Today - home improvement and furnishing

By Laura | Jun 29, 2008

I’m sure you have already heard about Empire Today 800-588-2300!! Listen carefully to this Jingle:

Oh!! I knew you would remember it. “800-588-two-three-hundred, Empire Today”. This Jingle was recognized everywhere and sang by almost everybody that saw the commercial.

For more than 45 years Empire Today has been helping people with home improvement and furnishing. Being in the market for so long, this company became an expert in this field and they have solutions and opinions for each new project they have.

Starting has a family business, Empire Today has grown impressively and has been awarded several times:

  • 2006 Torch Award Winner for Marketplace Ethics: Chicago and Northern Illinois BBB
  • 2007 Angie’s List Super Service Award - Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Dallas, Detroit and Orlando
  • 2007 American Business Award Finalist
  • 2008 American Business Award Finalist - Best Overall Company
  • 2008 American Business Award WINNER - Best Customer Service Organization

The Empire Man, in the first years, was represented by a real person but later was replaced  by an animate persona. A lot of commercials were made featuring the Empire Men real person and later the animated Empire Man became a brand symbol of Empire Today.

Here is an old commercial of Empire Carpet:

Empire Today works on a next day delivery basis on the following materials:

  • Carpet
  • Hardwood Flooring
  • Laminate Flooring
  • Ceramic Flooring
  • Window Treatments
  • Bath & Shower Liners

They offer low prices, no-payment and no-interest credit options.

The in-home service is a great feature of Empire Today. How many times do we go to a store, buy some articles for our house and when we arrive home they just don’t fit or don’t match? With in-home service a specialized person goes to our home with all the samples available and we are able to choose what we want in loco, in the exact place where the product is going to be installed. This gives us an instant view of how the final installation will look like.

After the installation is done you are asked to see the final results before the personal leaves your house, anything you think is not right can be changed on the moment. There is also a follow up within two weeks of the installation, a Empire representative will call you to check on your satisfaction.

You can check the Wikipedia Empire Today page where you can find all the information about the company and several reference links.
