Barrette Outdoor Living - A Market Leader In Outdoor Solutions

Barrette Outdoor Living (BOL) is a renowned name in the outdoor living industry, specializing in product categories like decking, fencing, railing, and accent walls. With a strong market presence across various states, BOL is a go-to choice for quality and innovation. However, they needed help in improving their growth and customer engagement.

Challenges: Brand Authentic Visuals, Cost-effective Rebranding, And Market Launch Time

The Struggle With Brand Authentic Visuals

  • Existing product visuals lacked clarity and engagement.
  • Images across their website were insufficient and inconsistent.
  • These issues affected the brand's authenticity and trust.

Rebranding Within Limited Budget

  • Creating new visuals based on a new style guide was a challenge.
  • That required significant investment in time and money.

Lengthy Product Launch Cycle Time And Costs

  • Traditional product photography was slow and expensive.
  • The process involved shipping, setup, and installation.
  • The time required for a single product launch was up to 3 months.

Meeting Retailer-Specific Content Needs

  • BOL required differentiated content for multiple brands.
  • The aim was to sell products across retailers like Home Depot & Lowe's.
