Commercial Furniture Search Engines More Efficient for Inteior Designers

 

Interior designers are looking for furniture search engines not Google, Yahoo or MSN.

One day I get an email from one of our friends who is an Interior designer telling me she is tired of looking for commercial furniture online. “It takes a long time to go from website to website looking at different contract furniture company’s website or going to Google images and searching for commercial furniture and instead finding Mickey Mouse chairs.” She told me if I could build something simple that would make it easy for designers to find contract furniture, it would become very popular amongst all designers.

So I did some research and after six months of research I built mybusca. My main focus was going to be commercial furniture and I was going to help interior designers save time on their furniture research.

Furniture companies would have the opportunity to display all of their commercial furniture to interior designers for free. Interior designers would save hours, days and weeks on furniture research time.

After I built this great website I needed feedback from other interior designers besides my wife and her friends. I hired a telemarketer and had him call all the top interior design firms in the country. 90% of the feedback we got from interior designers was positive. The 10% negative feedback we got from interior designers was that we did not have enough furniture.

I started using social media; it was free and just cost me my time. In the first six months I got over 90 new non paying members. After the first six months I was still not making any money. Social media got the word out, but mybusca was not getting enough traffic. I knew that to take mybusca to a national or international level I would need to focus more time on SEO.

Larger commercial furniture companies will only invest their time with websites that produce lots of traffic. That is why it is so important to mybusca to reach top search engine placement for contract furniture related key words.

Now I wanted to focus on getting top search engine placement, because I knew with the current amount of traffic I was getting to mybusca that would not be enough to attract larger commercial furniture companies.

I will always be looking to improve mybusca to help interior designers to become more efficient with their furniture research. The only way for us to grow is to have interior designers use mybusca first when it comes to their furniture needs. We know we can grow our content fast.

Feedback really helps mybusca become better. Getting into the mind of the interior designers is never easy. We have gotten great feedback and this is going to help us move forward and develop new features that will help interior designers.

The interior design and the commercial furniture industry are both very tight niches. My hope would be to deliver great results for our customers and publisher. Getting great word of mouth from online and offline media and have that word of mouth spread like wild fire will help us grow. Since our focus is on delivering great results for our interior designers and new leads to the furniture industry. We feel natural that will produce great results for mybusca. If this works well for mybusca we will probably start a residential furniture search engine next few years.
