Game Changing Suggestions
A rise in new housing starts, spurred by low mortgage rates, has benefitted big-box home
improvement stores like The Home Depot and Lowe’s. These retailers are popular destinations for
DIYers for materials and advice, but their upswing in earnings are largely dependent on the
professional contractor market. Since the housing market sales are starting to level off there are a great
amount of potential customers who will be practicing in DIY in their homes specifically for decorative
and repair purposes. As reported in Mintel’s DIY Home Improvement and Maintenance - US,
September 2016. A challenge will be gaining these customers to purchase products and conduct these
projects, since most adults at 66% have either basic or no DIY skills. A main cause for this margin is
due to consumers not having experience or the right tools. This can influence consumers to not pursue
the project or wait until they can afford professional services. Home Depot is doing a great job with
DIY videos online as well as hosting workshops in retail stores.
Homedepot.com is a remarkable website for it’s target customers and the services are
exceptional. But, what about the group of consumers missed? The lower class group making $30,000
or less in urban areas. What The Home Depot can do is advertise locally to areas surrounding its retail
stores. This is where the $30,000 less customers can be reached allowing consumers exposure to The
Home Depot’s products and services as well as opening a new target segment for The Home Depot.

After reviewing the brand and product MARAZZI Montagna Wood Vintage Chic 6 in. x 24 in.
Porcelain Floor and Wall Tile (14.53 sq. ft. / case) on homedepot.com, I have a suggestion that will
help buyers when they are browsing the product. Having the product placed in a kitchen or open area
will be valuable to customers so they can get an idea of how this product would possibly look in their
home. This similar concept of staging is used regularly with realtors when introducing a home to a new
home buyer or renter.
he Home Depot is leading the way on having an interconnected retail experience between the retail
stores and ecommerce websites. The internet is a faster, cheaper way of shopping, but the majority of
The Home Depot’s customers choose to shop in store. Thus, there are even better opportunities to
provide a remarkable in-store experience that would be valuable to customers.
The brand advocate analyst will assist the Brand (company or supplier) with their online
presence on homedepot.com to improve the sales and traffic for that particular brand. Suggestions such
as those that I have mentioned, can be discussed through the relationship built with suppliers and brand
advocates. It is something that I believe I could be an asset to, and it would be my pleasure to speak
with you in person to discuss how I can help improve brand’s business on homedepot.com as well as
improve The Home Depots’ e-commerce brand.
