When home furnishings retailers need to start an e-commerce strategy, their first step is a great website with product catalog data. Because the home furnishings industry is on the cusp of widespread e-commerce adoption, retailers are starting to ask for help. Brands in the industry can painstakingly work to provide this information like product dimensions, romance language, product information, collection details, and more. Many retailers are taking time away from other important business projects to manually collect this data independently. The average home furnishings retailer spends over $65,000 of time and resources every year to create and manage product catalogs for the website. That’s where MicroD’s expertise comes to great value for both the brands and their retailers. Our technology leverages product catalog data from a brand to the retailer’s website with ease. Brands can share product catalog data with each of their retailers in MicroD’s web technology network. Giving each manufacturer the opportunity to control the growth and online presence of the brand.

Connected customers require strategic digital marketing to find your retail store. Traditional marketing is a significant expense with little to no data for analysis. Meanwhile, digital marketing is cost-effective and provides unlimited data to prove return on investment.

With digital marketing, your furniture marketing strategy can shift as you analyze data. Digital marketing is dynamic and reaches more potential connected customers than any other method alone. Social media marketing, email marketing, pay per click advertising, search engine optimization, and content marketing make up just a few of the successful methods that bring revenue to your store. The strongest retailers of every size are using multiple channel marketing and advertising, also known as omnichannel. All of your campaigns, branding, and messaging collaborate in unison as your different digital marketing and advertising channels attract and convert your visitors. That’s the strategy our award-winning digital marketing firm applies to our home furnishings retail clients. We partner with you to identify the challenges in your current strategy, apply our expertise, and manage your digital marketing every week. We’ll find holes where your digital marketing investment can go further. Combining your website, showroom, and your brand together, digital marketing is the best investment for retail stores in the home furnishings industry.

The home furnishings industry relies on high-quality visualization to attract buyers. Product visualization is more than a high-quality product image. As the leader and pioneer in product visualization, we know that product visualization tools like custom furniture fabric draping is a valuable asset for retailers.

We built the technology to turn brand catalogs into dynamic product visualization engines on all retail websites in our network. It doesn’t stop there. Connected customers want product personalization but they need to feel confident in the purchase in order to keep your revenue profitable. Keeping a home furnishings shopper on your ecommerce website shopping and using interactive product visualization tools will increase confidence in your products. The online room planner comes with every website on our web technology network. It will show all of your products and let customers be the designer. This expansion of brands has begged the question, what other product visualization technology should manufacturers leverage? 3D technology is already in the hands of many connected customers. And brands who are not looking at the 3D technology roadmap for their business are falling behind. But product visualization is complicated. How does a 3D model of one sofa turn into a sale in the retail store? We answer those questions and help brands build a roadmap to product visualization success.

If you could find more time to manage bigger projects that generate more revenue, wouldn’t you adopt a solution that gives you the time and resources to build those projects? That’s the power that EDI gives to retailers and manufacturers each day.
