The trend of homeowners (and sometimes home renters) doing updates, big and small, to their homes has taken off in the last few years. But solid research about these Do-It-Yourselfers is still really limited. What are they looking to find in a brand? Are they only doing updates themselves to save money, or are there other reasons? Are they shopping in stores or online? How can you get their attention? How can you win their loyalty? How can you get DIYers to purchase your products?
The truth is, what they really want is to connect with your brand, fall in love with your products and tell their friends about the projects they completed thanks to you.
But how exactly do you go about gaining their loyalty and earning their trust?
The purpose of diyconsumer.com is to help building material companies understand the the DIY Consumer. Our posts are aimed at helping you discover more about the DIYer by reading their preferences, shopping habits, likes, dislikes and wants from products, brands and companies. Take a peek at some companies who are taking big strides to meet the DIYers demands. See who's succeeding and failing with them and how you can be the next “It" brand in the home improvement space.
Since DIY Consumers are buying in a variety of markets, we've chosen to focus on the Home Improvement Industry to keep our focus narrow and our posts specific. DIYers spend billions of dollars annually on home improvement. Follow our posts to see how you can increase your market share with this group.
