Rug Direct

Let us help you grow your business through the web

How might we drive greater brand awareness and improve conversions in the face of shrinking demand?

Rug Direct is a New Zealand-based retailer of high-quality Persian rugs with two stores in Auckland and an online store for nationwide delivery.

Demand has shrunk in the face of tough economic conditions and high inflation. We were tasked with business continuity in these circumstances, pushing for greater online and offline sales.
