Given the campaign only launched in May, it's too early to evaluate Bell's impact on sales, Darrow said.
However, initial market research suggests customers who see the campaign are "more interested in and more likely to consider La-Z-Boy," he said. Bell has also fueled an "uptick in those indicating the La-Z-Boy brand is relevant to them and fits their style."
Bell, who also voices Princess Anna in "Frozen," hassparked "a lot of additional coverage in social media, which we never had before," Darrow added.
Strong retail sales drove La-Z-Boy's revenue up 7.5% to $414 million in the quarter ended July 27 , pushing operating income up 1% to $23.4 million.
