AdVonAI: Crafting Success in the Arts & Crafts Market

The Challenges

Growth of the DIY Market

Arts & crafts have seen a resurgence in recent years. With easy access to supplies, tutorials, online marketplaces, and the potential to make money, both the creation of and purchase of arts & crafts have skyrocketed.

The market continues to grow and the brands were looking for an edge to capitalize on the growth of the market. Even in an uncertain economy, more and more people are turning to arts and crafts as their main creative outlet.

Rapidly Evolving Products

The arts & crafts market constantly has new and innovative products to fill new niches. While the essentials like paint, pen, and pencils are fairly static, arts & crafts are at the whims of the next trend that creates a new hobby. Products are being developed all the time that create new avenues for expression and make established hobbies more accessible.

It's important for retailers that carry arts & crafts brands to be able to rapidly adapt product copy for new products. For brands, it's important to have the attributes and keywords necessary to get in front of potential customers.

Solutions Used

Catalog Audit

An Advon catalog audit pulls out all the information needed to diagnose and treat your catalog. We look at the number of missing attributes, and taxonomy shortcomings to determine where consumers are falling through the cracks. Don't lose more customers due to bad data.

Attribute Enrichment

Product attributes are, by definition, the defining feature of products. When consumers are searching, they do so by attributes. Size, weight, durability, number of pieces, etc. These are what consumers use to find products, whether through organic search, or through filtering on an online retailer. AdVon uses AI and human-in-the-loop verification to make sure that all your data is utilized so that the most products meets the most purchasers.
