Boost Flooring Sales: Service Buddy's Role in Add-On Rug Sales Success

The flooring industry is rapidly evolving, and one of the most significant trends shaping this evolution is the surge in add-on rug sales.  A pivotal Rug News article reveals a compelling statistic: 80% of consumers seek rugs shortly after purchasing hard surface flooring. This emerging trend presents a valuable opportunity for flooring retailers to augment their revenue and enhance customer satisfaction. At the forefront of enabling retailers to capitalize on this trend is Service Buddy, the premier cloud-based software platform specifically tailored for the carpet and flooring industry. Here we explore how Service Buddy equips flooring retailers to navigate and prosper in the burgeoning add-on rug market effectively.

Understanding the Add-On Rug Market:

The current shift in the flooring industry is not just about selling additional products; it's about understanding and responding to consumer preferences and lifestyle needs. Consumers are increasingly interested in custom rugs that complement their flooring choices, driven by desires for comfort, aesthetics, and a cohesive home décor. The rise in popularity of hard surface flooring has further fueled the demand for area rugs, creating a symbiotic relationship between the two product categories. Retailers who recognize and adapt to this trend stand to benefit significantly. By offering custom rugs alongside traditional flooring options, they can enjoy higher profit margins, greater customer satisfaction, and the opportunity to cater to a diverse range of styles and preferences.
