The door industry is at a crossroads. Consumer buying habits have shifted dramatically, and a successful door retailer or manufacturer in 2024 needs to adapt. This article explores the importance of door visualization tools, informed decision-making, and leveraging online sales channels to thrive in today's market.
The Power of Informed Decisions
Studies by PWC recently showed that today's consumers prioritize informed purchases and are keen to use digital tools for tech-enabled decision making. https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/industries/consumer-markets/consumer-insights-survey.html Consumers research online, compare options, and envision how a product will integrate with their existing space. This is particularly true for home improvement projects, where aesthetics and functionality are equally important.
In the door buying journey, this translates to a need to visualize different door styles within the actual home environment. Can't quite picture that sleek modern door against your traditional floorboards? Unsure if a French door will overwhelm a smaller room? Visualization tools bridge this gap, empowering customers to make confident decisions.
The Rise of Online Sales and Cost Efficiency
The ecommerce boom is undeniable. According to Statista, online retail sales are projected to account for over 8 trillion dollars in global sales by 2027 and grow by 39% over the upcoming years. (https://www.statista.com/statistics/379046/worldwide-retail-e-commerce-sales/) This shift has major implications for the door industry too. Traditional brick-and-mortar stores incur significant overhead costs – rent, staff, and physical inventory displays. By embracing online sales, door retailers and manufacturers can significantly reduce these costs. Imagine a world where the majority of customers finalizes a door purchase from the comfort of their couch, with visualization tools guiding their decision. This translates not only to a smoother buying experience but also to potential cost savings that can be passed on to the customer.
