Opportunities for
Retail Businesses
Kitchen Showrooms
Timing is everything in the kitchen supply industry. Buildscout identifies households planning home renovations or extensions, allowing you to engage with high-intent customers before they start shopping.
Our targeted outreach puts your business in front of the right people, increasing sales while minimising marketing waste. If you have a showroom, we help drive foot traffic by connecting you with customers who are ready to visit and explore your offerings in person.
Bathroom Showrooms
Targeting homeowners in the decision-making stage of bathroom renovations can be challenging. Buildscout helps you connect with customers who are actively planning bathroom improvements.
By tracking home renovation projects, we enable you to reach serious buyers at the right moment, boosting enquiries without increasing your ad spend.
Solar Installers
Reaching the right customers for solar installations at the right time is crucial for business growth. Buildscout identifies properties that are planning sustainable upgrades, helping you target homeowners and developers who are already considering solar solutions.
Our efficient, data-driven approach increases your reach, saving time and increasing conversion rates for solar solutions.
Window & Door Suppliers
With Buildscout, you don’t have to wait for customers to find you – we put you in front of them when they need new windows or doors.
Whether it's a home renovation, extension, or new build, we connect you with homeowners and developers actively seeking suppliers, allowing you to secure sales before they turn elsewhere.
