Shaw Floors has announced the expansion of its innovative, DIY-focused Floorigami® peel-and-stick carpet tile platform with an industry-first, interactive e-commerce experience. The brand’s website, Floorigami.com, launched last month and gives consumers the convenience of online ordering with free in-store pick up at participating, local retailers - an e-commerce business strategy known as ‘buy online, pick-up in store (BOPIS).’ Consumers are incentivized to visit their local Floorigami Service Provider through the site’s BOPIS model, giving the company’s independent retail partners the opportunity to service these customers in a way that only they can.

Floorigami carpet tile is designed with the DIY-consumer in mind. The 9” x 36” planks meet the consumer’s desire for carpet that is easy to install, clean and replace, as well as design flexibility to install wall-to-wall for a cozy bedroom or as a statement-making custom rug. Floorigami gives consumers the ability to transform their space into their new favorite room, in as little as an afternoon. While Floorigami is a great option for the DIY-savvy consumer, this convenient peel and stick flooring can just as easily be installed by laborers with any level of skill, allowing retailers to retain their more skilled laborers for more complicated installation projects.

“Floorigami is a dynamic product that brings solutions for our customers and consumers alike,” says Nicki Rayburn, director of marketing and brand strategy, Shaw Floors. “Soft surface is the best choice for sound abatement and Floorigami offers the easiest care and maintenance of any flooring product on the market - simply lift, clean and replace. This makes it a great choice for spaces with kids or pets, and we know that pets are driving the majority of purchasing decisions. Additionally, the focus on a clean and healthy home is important, now more than ever, and Floorigami offers consumers peace of mind in their cleaning routine.” 

Market trends and research confirm that many consumers want the option to purchase online. The brand’s commitment to meeting its customers' needs by adapting to shifting consumer preferences is reflected in its BOPIS e-commerce strategy, making Floorigami carpet tile the perfect choice for the DIY consumer looking to buy online. Consumers will have the option to pick up their purchase in-store at a Floorigami Service Provider and avoid added shipping costs or delivery hassles. This process brings consumers who want to buy online directly into the retailer’s store, providing a platform for retailers to offer additional products and services to the consumer who might otherwise avoid a traditional retail model.
