The company opened its first shop in 1997. Currently it sells in 80 locations in different parts of Poland. It also provides customers throughout the country with access to its on-line offer. The company employs nearly 12 thousand people. Castorama Poland is part of Kingfisher plc, an international company with almost 1200 stores in 10 European countries.

Customers buy via catalogues

Despite the growing popularity of online channels of reaching customers, shops still do not give up using the paper product catalogues. The reason for this is the continuing interest of customers in this form of obtaining information about the current offer. In Poland, as many as 60% of them shop at least once in a while using paper catalogues (according to the Consumer Panels & Services survey 2019). For customers, it is an attractive source of information about products and promotions. That is why Castorama.pl was looking for a way to transfer the traditional catalogues to an online channel to increase the possibilities of reaching its customers.

Marketing communication in the form of catalogues has always been one of the most popular ways to reach customers. Therefore, their digitalization has been a natural direction and challenge for us. The online version of the catalogues has been very well received by our customers and enjoys growing popularity. Additionally, the editor minimizes the time of preparation and publication of content, which was a key aspect for us - Tomasz Stefanowski, Service WWW Development Manager, Castorama Poland
