Recent review: a retailer's product pages explained the sofa well, but gave customers no reason to visit the showroom.

Recent review: The product page explained the sofa. It didn't explain why it was worth seeing in person.

What I Typically Find

Example Website Sales Review

Every review is prepared specifically for your website.

The goal isn't to redesign everything.

It's to identify the small changes most likely to increase showroom visits and sales.

The problem

Why Website Traffic Doesn't Always Become A Showroom Visit. Why Showroom Visits Are Being Lost.

Customers are already deciding whether to visit.

Many websites don't do enough to help them take the next step.

Your website should encourage showroom visits, not just display products.

The context

What Happens Before a Showroom Visit?

After spending time in furniture showrooms, one thing became clear:

Most customers visit the website before they visit the store.

They research products, compare options and decide whether a visit is worthwhile.

Yet many websites don't actively encourage that next step. They explain the product, but don't always explain why it's worth seeing in person.

For retailers that rely on showroom sales, that can mean losing customers who were already interested.

Steve Hayward

Founder, Showroom Growth & Co.

I’ve spent over 10 years working with furniture and interiors retailers on Shopify - including leading Fired Earth’s re-platform to Shopify - with a particular focus on improving how websites turn existing traffic into showroom visits and online sales. It's a narrower focus than most agencies, and that's intentional.

10+ years helping furniture and interiors retailers improve their websites, including Fired Earth’s move to Shopify.

Focused on turning website visitors into showroom visits and sales.

If your site is getting traffic but not generating the visits or sales you'd expect, I’ll usually be able to identify why quite quickly.
