Simpli Home, a leading name in the D2C and e-commerce home furnishings industry, continues its expansion into the brick-and-mortar retail space with the creation of a comprehensive sales and marketing framework designed to support the company’s growing number of retailers.
“The key to a successful brick-and-mortar program is ensuring that we have the essential elements – sales teams, supply chain, marketing, technology, processes, procedures, and more – that will create a positive retailer and customer experience from the onset,” said Simpli Home Chief Marketing Officer Darcy McGilvery.
“Our goal is to fully engage our brick-and-mortar retailers with the necessary tools and support to create an easy and efficient sales experience for both the retailer and the customer.”
Simpli Home has enhanced its existing sales and marketing support with additional material and technology solutions geared towards the brick-and-mortar retailer. The company has created a 14-member sales team to work exclusively with brick-and mortar retailers, and those representatives are already actively meeting with many market leaders.
Simpli Home has also reinforced its supply chain and materials sourcing to compensate for anticipated additional sales volumes, deepened its online product-data infrastructure, and enhanced product imagery and support.
Additionally, Simpli Home has moved to an omnichannel business strategy that will replicate a seamless shopping and sales experience across all its channels – online, mobile and brick-and-mortar stores.
To that end, the company is working to enhance functionality of its Simpli Home website, www.simpli-home.com, and expects to eventually add a store locator, website retail and marketplace pricing, and deeper links to retailers.
The company is also exploring adjusting its approach to advertising, which has been traditionally for the D2C audience, and expects to be able to offer more opportunities and referrals for brick-and-mortar retailers following implementation of a store locator later this year.
“The ultimate goal is to have each channel support the others, rather than create unnecessary competition,” said Yoram Weinreich, chief executive officer of the company (pictured).
“Simpli Home has a strong framework in place to make our brick-and-mortar retailers successful, and early feedback from the retailer community is validation that our new sales and marketing endeavors are already making a direct and positive impact. It is full steam ahead for our brick-and-mortar retail and omnichannel programs, and we are excited about 2024.”
