HomePro Shakes Up the Retail Industry for Home Products and Services with 'Do Not Disturb' as a New Strategy
HomePro is shaking up the "home products and services retail game" with a counterintuitive concept, where "not disturbing customers" has become one of the key strategies for creating an experience. The idea of the sign "Do Not Disturb" within the store allows customers to browse, compare, and make decisions comfortably on their own. What seems like a small detail reflects a significant shift in thinking from "selling" to "respecting the customer's pace," showcasing an understanding of modern consumers who desire the freedom to choose and decide. HomePro has chosen to reduce the role of push selling and move towards permission-based selling, allowing customers to determine "when" they want assistance. Sometimes, a step back from the brand can bring it closer to the customer. At the same time, HomePro remains present at the moments customers need support, creating a safe space that makes shopping a more relaxed experience.
Mr. Weerapand Angsumalee, Managing Director of Home Product Center Public Company Limited, or "HomePro," points out that "many consumers today research information online before entering the store, and some prefer to spend more time selecting products on their own. Therefore, having the 'Do Not Disturb' sign is not just an in-store idea but a design of an experience that respects customers. We want HomePro to be a safe space where customers feel comfortable and confident that when they need assistance, we will always be there for them. At the same time, it allows our staff to care for customers more accurately and effectively."
Behind this small detail is a significant shift for HomePro from being a "retailer of home products and services" to a brand that aims to be a companion in improving your home throughout every stage of life, or a "Home Lifetime Companion." This includes everything from product selection, delivery, installation, to after-sales service through a network of professional craftsmen from CHANG HomePro, transforming "home" into not just a place but an experience that is continuously cared for. All of this reflects HomePro's repositioning towards being a "Home Lifetime Companion," a brand that does not view customers as just a one-time sale but as a long-term relationship throughout every stage of their customer journey. In an era where retail competition is not just about products but about "understanding customers," HomePro is proving that listening to customers may be the most powerful business strategy.
