WoonZoo live with interior design portal powered by Eperium

• WoonZoo.nl, Sanoma’s new online interior design portal officially went live for consumers at the opening of the Woonbeurs interior design fair.

Inspiring and supporting consumers
WoonZoo.nl is intended to inspire and support consumers in their interior design choices. Furniture and brands are clearly categorised, making WoonZoo.nl a starting point for many consumers in their search. WoonZoo is the first comparison website on this scale that is specifically targeted at the furniture industry. “We toyed with the idea a few years ago, but the time was not yet ripe. Current technology and our strong position in interior design magazines have guaranteed the success of this initiative”, says Myrthe van der Erve, Manager Online Wonen.

Knowledge of e-Commerce as well as knowledge of the interior design industry
“We were asked to build a website that, on the one hand, supported consumers in their choice of interiors, and, on the other, offered suppliers a platform for generating visits to their retail stores. Content is crucial to this website. Thanks to our experience in the interior design industry, we were able to work closely with Sanoma and anticipate their wishes,” says Ronald Vermeulen, Commercial Director for Eperium. Vermeulen adds:” Together we fleshed out the idea further and at the beginning of the year we started building the website using Intershop technology. De Nieuwe Zaak took care of the graphics. We are very proud of the result and hope to support a great many consumers in their interior design choices”.
