01 Furniture company
Challenge and proposed solution
View original slide (Russian)
The dealer model was limiting margins as the furniture company entered the premium segment
Context
The company had spent years in the mid-market segment, selling through B2B dealers. A new premium range was intended to bring the brand directly to the customer.
My proposal
Make interior designers a key sales channel and create a professional club for them.
Strategic insight: premium customers often delegate the choice of furniture to their interior designer.
Implementation and outcome
