How to bring clients to your Furniture Store: the end of the empty Showroom
Is your showroom empty while people buy furniture online? Discover how Gamification brings real clients to your furniture store.
In the Furniture and Interior Design sector, the management costs of a physical showroom are enormous. How do you bring clients into a furniture store when most people prefer to browse the catalogs of online giants comfortably from their couch? Classic advertising campaigns based on "end-of-line discounts" no longer work. If your furniture store is empty during the week, you need a radical strategy to physically bring people back to touch the quality of your furniture.
The competition of e-commerce and physical traffic
Today, convincing a family to take the car and go to a large furniture store "just to take a look" is very difficult. People look for inspiration online and often buy cheap solutions on the web, depriving themselves of the expert advice of an interior designer. The goal of your showroom is not to compete on price with web giants, but to create a local event so irresistible that it generates a continuous and voluntary flow of physical visits to your facility.
The Adprodex model: Gamification for Furniture Stores
To stand out in your area, you must offer a very strong emotional incentive. Adprodex allows you to do this through the Tyche App, leveraging geolocated Gamification. Instead of promoting the usual "30% off kitchens", put an iconic design piece up for grabs (e.g. "A Designer Armchair", "A 65-inch Smart TV" or "A 1,000€ Voucher for living room furniture"). The intense desire to win a valuable prize for their home focuses the attention of thousands of residents directly on your brand.
What your Showroom gets
The platform doesn't give you useless "Likes" on Facebook, but guarantees certified advertising exposure in your area and brings clients through the store's door. Here is the ecosystem in action:
Video Spots viewed at 100% (Total attention flow)
Before being able to try their luck, local users are forced to watch your furniture store's video spot for 12 full seconds, without distractions. Added to this is the reading of the sheet (with a 4-image slider to show furniture details) and the gaming phase, guaranteeing your brand a total attention flow of over 45/50 seconds. It is the perfect time to show the refinement of your kitchens, the comfort of your sofas, and the elegance of your showroom.
Tracking physical entries and Assisted Selling
The winning mechanism (set mathematically based on the value of the prize) physically brings the winners inside your store to collect the product or voucher. You certify their arrival by entering a secret PIN on their smartphone. When the client is physically there, fascinated by the display and happy about winning, you have the perfect opportunity for Assisted Selling: it is the moment when your interior designers can offer a free consultation and propose complementary furnishing solutions (Cross-Selling).
Organic Viral Effect for your Design
Furnishing a home is an action that people love to share. The first instinct of someone who wins a design piece is to take a photo of the newly placed product in their living room and post it on social media, tagging your store. This triggers an extremely powerful, genuine, and completely free visual word-of-mouth among their contacts.
Lead Generation for Quotes (The Wishlist)
What happens to those who do not win? You get business contacts with a very high purchase intent. Users who do not win immediately receive a Call To Action with a dedicated advantage (e.g. "Free 3D Design" or a reserved discount). Furthermore, if they save the product by clicking the "heart" (Wishlist), the system offers them the possibility to request a special quote to furnish their home: only upon their explicit acceptance, we will provide you with a list of real names. It is the ultimate resource to fill your interior designers' agenda.
