- Easy-to-use “Contact Us” functionality, which now allows a shop to request an immediate sales or technical service assistance call
- Training courses categorized by color, product and business, including training schedules
- Informational press releases, company history and industry partnerships
“Our goal in designing and launching the expanded website was to have it become a virtual sales, service or technical call right at our customers’ fingertips,” said Adam Chafe, vice president, marketing for Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes. “This expanded customer experience will provide immediate color, product and technical information for every one of our markets, including collision repair and custom, fleet refinishing, heavy truck and bus, OEM interiors, commercial and sign manufacturing.”
Chafe noted that the new site provides a better organization of content so it utilizes fewer clicks, all resulting in a better user experience. The site is integrated with social media, allowing users to easily share content across Facebook. It also links to a YouTube platform, which hosts videos on the latest product and application methods along with customer testimonials, body shop productivity and profitability stories, and lean process and business consulting tips.
Chafe says the new design is consistent with the brand’s overall corporate site, providing consistency throughout digital review of the entire organization’s products and services. In addition, the functionality of Sherwin-Williams’ FormulaExpress Color Retrieval System and its E-Store is incorporated into the new design for a seamless transition for regular users.
