From Print Legacy to Digital Efficiency

Overview

Reimagining Discovery

A global leader in kitchen and bath products needed to modernize its product discovery experience. Their printed catalogs were costly, environmentally taxing, and limited in how effectively they were able to support both showroom and direct sales channels.

With multiple stakeholders involved in the purchase journey (from end consumers to contractors and installers) the company required a solution that could:

1. Align with sustainability initiatives by reducing reliance on print.

2. Improve the user experience for shoppers, sales reps, and specifiers

3. Support both in-store and remote consultations

4. Lower the cost of doing business (CODB)

Implementation

Digitally Deployed, Customer-Ready

The company implemented a Red Pepper interactive digital catalog platform to replace traditional print collateral. This platform enabled seamless browsing and searchability across product lines while still maintaining their branding and customization.

Sales enablement was more supported. The digital catalog became a support tool for guiding customers through product selection in-store and remotely. And the company’s ability to use metrics as a result of the digital catalog, unlocked a new capability to track engagement and understand the consumer behaviour even better.
