Carpet Mill: Nationwide Direct Demand
From builder-dependent to region-ready: profitable growth in a bear market with a content-to-leads engine.
An Industry in Crisis
Between 2022 and 2026, the New Zealand floor covering industry faced intense headwinds. Rising borrowing costs and supply chain bottlenecks led to a drastic reduction in new dwelling consents. As discretionary spending tightened, consumer focus shifted away from new builds and towards renovations.
For Carpet Mill—a proud New Zealand-owned manufacturer and retailer—this meant shifting away from a reliance on builder referrals and aggressively targeting the direct-to-consumer renovation market. They needed a reliable engine to drive "in-home consultation" bookings for their mobile showrooms across the country, while major competitors like Bremworth and Godfrey Hirst were consolidating.
