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.
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.
You asked whether to add a chatbot, improve site awareness, or start elsewhere. Here is the honest answer.
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.
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.
One first phase, focused on making Interior Effects easy to find and consistently present, without adding to your workload.
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.
A simple, automatic ask after a purchase or showroom visit, so your reputation shows up where buyers look. The cheapest trust you can build.
Where architects, designers and design-minded homeowners already shop for suppliers, and where your competitors are and you are not yet.
A light, largely AI-assisted content system, set up properly, so your Instagram, Pinterest and website stay current without you finding the time.
Search, Google Business Profile, reviews, ArchiPro and a simple content rhythm. The goal is visibility and a presence that runs itself.
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.
National e-commerce, a formal trade programme, and heavier investment timed to the peak build season. Growth on foundations that already work.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
