Cymax Group, a major online furniture and home furnishings retailer, has added to its suite of technology solutions for interior design professionals with the launch of Muzeboard.
The retailer said Muzeboard is the only all-in-one curation platform where users can shop the vision a designer creates across all channels from Facebook, to Pinterest, to Amazon, to their own site and generate revenue.
In three simple steps designers can begin monetizing their efforts all with the help from having over 300,000 products pre-loaded. Globally recognized brands like Stanley, Lexington, Tommy Bahama and Hooker Furniture are just a few of the more than over a 1,000 brands available for curating designs.
The platform, in conjunction with Muzeboard’s parent company, also takes care of the fulfillment, and relationships with the furniture vendors for the designers.
Cymax officials said Muzeboard was created with the dream of being able to share the design world’s creativity and enable them to monetize their work outside of their normal operations. This allows designers to do solely what they love doing – designing -- and provides consumers with unparalleled inspiration that can be shopped in one location, one transaction backed by one of the largest digital home furnishings companies in the industry.
Once mood boards are built, designers can monetize those boards by sharing them over multiple social media platforms as well as via their own website. Consumers can then shop these looks, and any sales result in commissions being paid to the designer.
“Mood board design is often a complex process involving Photoshop, hours of work, and even outsourced contractors,” said Arash Fasihi, CEO of Cymax Group. “Muzeboard allows designers to build their own boards easily, and offers a unique ability to generate revenue from something that is otherwise part of a designer’s regular process.”
Muzeboard’s integration into Cymax Group’s Constant Retail E-Commerce solution allows designers to benefit from the payment platform and freight solution of a massive player in the online furniture sales space. Shipping is automatically taken care of with best-in-class shipping solutions provided by Freight Club, another Cymax Group product.
“We’re providing designers everything they need to reach consumers on a scale they wouldn’t otherwise have access to,” said Fasihi. “Whether they want simple monetization of design inspirations, or a full-fledged shipping and e-commerce solution, Muzeboard allows designers to get their work in front of consumers in a whole new way.”
