KBBG Enhances mykitchenspecialist.co.uk

Consumer-facing website, mykitchenspecialist.co.uk is the biggest online listing of independent kitchen retailers, created by the Kitchen Bathroom Buying Group (KBBG). The platform, which helps consumers who are planning a kitchen renovation, presents a unique lead generation opportunity for KBBG members. Now, the process in which enquiries are delivered has been refined to ensure only qualified leads are filtered through to members.

The website has been a proven success since its launch in 2022 with over 900 kitchen sales leads generated for KBBG members to date. What’s more, the estimated value of kitchen sales generated through mykitchenspecialist.co.uk is currently £1.4 million. To help KBBG members manage the new enquiries that come through via the website, in the first instance, the consumer will now be contacted by a member of the mykitchenspecialist.co.uk team. Following this, an individual kitchen sales brief will be created and forwarded onto the consumer’s chosen retailer to be actioned. If required, the mykitchenspecialist.co.uk team will also offer regular follow-ups, on behalf of the retailer, to help secure the sale.

Bill Miller, Managing Director, KBBG, says: “Managing new enquiries and following up on leads are two of the most essential tasks for an independent retailer. However, both can be very time consuming and often get pushed to the bottom of the to-do list, particularly when working on current projects. Nonetheless, it’s important to ensure that new business is always coming in and now the mykitchenspecialist.co.uk team can help make this possible.

“Previously, any leads generated through mykitchenspecialist.co.uk were sent straight onto the retailer. While it was still a valuable asset, our members were spending a lot of time filtering and qualifying the leads to find only a handful of quality enquiries. Now, leads will be evaluated and processed through mykitchenspecialist.co.uk to ensure our members only receive serious enquiries, saving them time and effort when generating new business.”

mykitchenspecialist.co.uk provides advice and inspiration for consumers looking to renovate their kitchen. It also explains the benefits of shopping locally, with an independent kitchen specialist, with a tool to help consumers find their nearest kitchen retailer.

Bill adds: “All leads generated through mykitchenspecialist.co.uk are free to our members. Listing your independent kitchen retail business on the website really is a no-brainer and provides a unique sales advantage, particularly now with our improved processes. We aim to continue to invest in and enhance the platform to ensure consumers can use it as a one stop shop for a kitchen renovation.”
