What we heard

You want to be seen.
Not louder.
Clearer.

Bold brands don't whisper.

From our initial discussion, the ask was simple: more visibility, a stronger, simpler online presence, and support, so it does not all fall on you when you find the time.

Online sales, more trade, more people through the showroom, they all matter and they will come. But visibility is the foundation the rest is built on. That is where we start.

Pillar 01
Strategy
We start with the commercial problem, then aim every move at it.
The opportunity

The timing is on your side.

Building is forecast to lift through 2026 and 2027, with Canterbury ahead of the pack, and finishing hardware is becoming a design decision, not a commodity. That plays straight to your range and your expertise.

The one gap: buyers now start online, and that is the single place you are currently quiet. Close it and the rebound works for you, not the national chains.

Pillar 02
Media
Being found where buyers already are: search, social and the platforms that matter.

Your question, answered plainly

A chatbot is not the place to start. Being found is.

You asked whether to add a chatbot, improve site awareness, or start elsewhere. Here is the honest answer.

Not yet: a chatbot

A chatbot helps when a lot of people are already on your site and you need to handle the volume. A good problem to have later, not the first move.

Start here: be found

When someone searches for architectural hardware in Christchurch, or a beautiful door handle, you are the one they find, and what they find looks and sounds like you.

Where we would begin

The foundations. Findable, trusted, present.

One first phase, focused on making Interior Effects easy to find and consistently present, without adding to your workload.

01

Get found on Google

Tune your Google Business Profile and site so you show up for the Canterbury searches that matter, with a few high-intent ads behind ready-to-buy terms.

Phase 1 · quick win
02

Turn on a review engine

A simple, automatic ask after a purchase or showroom visit, so your reputation shows up where buyers look. The cheapest trust you can build.

Phase 1 · quick win
03

Get listed on ArchiPro

Where architects, designers and design-minded homeowners already shop for suppliers, and where your competitors are and you are not yet.

Phase 1 · discovery gap
04

Content that runs itself

A light, largely AI-assisted content system, set up properly, so your Instagram, Pinterest and website stay current without you finding the time.

Phase 1 · the part you imagined
How it grows from here

Start lean. Build as it proves out.

Phase 1 · Foundations

Be found, trusted, present

Search, Google Business Profile, reviews, ArchiPro and a simple content rhythm. The goal is visibility and a presence that runs itself.

Phase 2 · Build

Turn visibility into enquiries

Design-led content that lifts you from supplier to authority, an owned email and SMS list, and retargeting. A steady flow of the right enquiries.

Phase 3 · Scale

Grow beyond the catchment

National e-commerce, a formal trade programme, and heavier investment timed to the peak build season. Growth on foundations that already work.

What the work looks like

A taste of what we make.

Same brand, every channel. Here is a live look at the kind of social and advertising work we produce, ready to be tailored to Interior Effects.

Working with us

One accountable partner.

Strategy, media, content and technology under one roof. You bring the product knowledge, the showroom and the relationships. We bring the plan and do the doing, so the marketing keeps moving whether or not you have a spare hour.

Recommended start

We would start on Ignite, our foundations engagement, built for exactly this. As it proves out and the build season lifts, we step up only when it makes sense to, so your investment follows your results.

Indicative investment

An Ignite foundations engagement is indicatively from around $4,500 + GST a month, plus a small, flexible advertising budget to start that grows only as it earns its place.

Please note: These are indicative figures to shape together, not a fixed quote. We would rather agree the right starting point with you in person than put a number on it before we have talked it through.

The next step

Let's book a chat about next steps.

The discovery is done, so this is short. A quick call to confirm the goals, agree a comfortable starting point, and get access to a couple of things, so any targets are grounded in your real numbers, not guesses.

No pressure, and nothing to prepare. That is our job. You said you would follow our lead, and we would be glad to take it. The first step here is a simple and confident one.
