“A picture is worth a thousand words.” We’ve heard the adage a million times, but times change, and so has the way consumers engage with pictures. Today, static 2D images are no longer adequate to fully capture the attention of prospective customers with brands all around the world experiencing a shift in buyer behaviors that demand more high quality, tangible imagery. So, how can they adapt? One important tactic is to leverage 3D production platforms to create stunning, photorealistic images.  

Specifically, imagine.io has created a platform that makes it possible for the furniture and home furnishings industry to meet the ever-growing need for consistent HQ content at a rapid pace. Industry professionals, including manufacturers and designers can readily convey meaning and make photos come to life with details that practically lift off the page.

Here’s a quick list of ways 3D content created using the imagine.io platform can enhance your brand and drive more value.

  • 1. Elevate the customer experience
  • 2. Customize products with 360° views and limitless style and design choices
  • 3. Go to market faster
  • 4. Maintain a cohesive brand identity
  • 5. Support marketing teams and drive results

 

1. Elevate the customer experience

3D content can inspire customers to interact more with designs and help contribute to making a buying decision. The ability to instantly swap colors, textures, and visualize products in familiar locations has been proven to enhance sensory perception. The more engaged your customer is with your product can have a direct impact on purchasing decisions and result in higher sales.

imagine.io gives brands the ability to leverage configurators, which presents visitors with the option to instantly see changes come alive, much like in the gif displayed below. Customers no longer make purchases blindly, they can fully grasp how different textiles and patterns will look on your product, which makes large online purchases for furniture a more attractive option.

2. Customize products with 360° views and limitless style and design choices

Customers have the ability to view products from every angle in the highest quality. You can now change or modify images to capture the essence and detail of your design or prototype from every angle. For instance, show your product reclining or in an upright position to fully capture its functionality and how the product moves and looks. imagine.io allows users to easily explore and visualize offerings in great detail, examining each design and style element before making a purchase decision.

3. Go to market faster

Who doesn’t want to get their products on the market faster? Traditionally, in order to effectively market furniture and home furnishings, you’d need to create a live prototype and have a sample before you go to market. But what if there’s no market demand for this, or perhaps specific colors, patterns and styles are much more popular than others? Rather than waste time and money on manufacturing your furnishings before you understand what the market wants, you can now produce those concepts virtually. 

The imagine.io platform makes it possible to help home furnishings brands in the B2B and B2C spaces the ability to test products through rapid prototyping, so they can scale and market items with greater confidence, and sell faster than ever.
