Optimizing the Buyer Journey for Architects & Designers: EPD’s A&D Experience Hub

Image

Background

Energy Products Distribution (EPD) is a national distributor of 3M window films, serving a broad dealer base along with several distinct customer segments—including the high-value audience of architects and designers (A&D). While their existing eCommerce platform was robust, EPD identified an opportunity to better serve the A&D community with tools and resources tailored to their workflows and expectations.

The need:

Architects and designers need quick, intuitive access to products, technical documentation, and sample materials in order to specify products confidently and efficiently. EPD aimed to create a centralized digital destination that:

  • Offered a curated, brand-aligned experience for A&D professionals.
  • Enabled approved users to order free decorative window film samples.
  • Provided interactive tools and technical resources to support the specification process.
  • Integrated seamlessly with their existing online store infrastructure.

Our Approach

We collaborated closely with EPD’s design and leadership teams to bring the vision of an “A&D Experience Hub” to life. Our solution focused on streamlining the product discovery and sample ordering while reinforcing brand trust and user confidence at every step.

Key components included:

Custom User Role & Gated Access:
We configured a new user role within EPD’s online store platform to provide A&D professionals with exclusive access to free decorative film samples and role-based pricing.

Interactive Decorative Film Selector:
We developed a user-friendly tool to help visitors identify products that match their visual preferences and technical requirements, simplifying the selection process.

Centralized Resource Hub:
The Experience Hub includes direct access to product information, LEED credit details, downloadable technical documents, and sample order links all in one place.

Integrated UX & Brand Alignment:
We partnered with the client’s graphic designer to translate her creative direction into an optimized, intuitive experience aligned with the expectations of the A&D community.

Backend Efficiency:
Our development team implemented role-based access rules that make the sample ordering experience seamless for end users and efficient for internal operations.

The Results

The A&D Experience Hub is now a strategic marketing enablement asset that empowers a high-value user segment with everything they need to explore, evaluate, and specify EPD’s product line.

Outcomes include:

  • Role-based sample access and pricing logic for qualified A&D users.
  • A streamlined, conversion-focused digital experience designed around buyer needs.
  • Enhanced engagement from A&D professionals through UX, personalization, and resource delivery.

Strong alignment between business development goals and digital infrastructure.
