Who are Plumbs?

Plumbs are furniture reupholstery specialists with a range of over 800 fabrics.

They employ a team of reupholstery consultants who provide home visits across the UK.

Furniture is upgraded at Plumbs’ factory in the north-west and returned with a new lease of life.

Plumbs Old Website

The challenge

The Plumbs website is key to the process as it enables prospective customers to consider fabric options and book home consultations.

The client was not easily able to update the existing website which meant higher than normal ongoing costs with its previous agency.

Our review also found there had been no ongoing conversion optimisation work so we knew there was an opportunity to improve performance of the site too.

The solution

We ran a successful project together which included:

  • A strategy workshop to review existing branding, positioning, and competitors
  • A design sprint workshop to refresh and update the existing brand guidelines
  • A managed design process with sign off of each section of the new website in turn.
  • A new enterprise-level website and CMS with a lifespan of 3+ years.
  • Ongoing conversion optimisation and paid ads to improve performance and grow leads
  • Monthly meetings to assess results together and continually develop the website

The new Plumbs website went live at www.plumbs.co.uk in April 2021.

“The new system is way more flexible than the old website so Plumbs’ can update their site easily now

“They also have the ability to pre-prepare site updates and schedule them to go live at a certain time.

“The real win comes with the ongoing marketing retainer.

“We’ve run lots of tests on different parts of the website now and have seen some big performance improvements.
