As a result, nearly 15 years of experience in online marketing, e-commerce, and development as an agency form the foundation of Showme. At the same time, the company is supported by almost 10 years of hands-on experience as an online furniture retailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our story began with a passionate web agency whose ambitious CEO made it his mission not only to manage client projects but also to launch his own ventures. These initiatives were created, among other reasons, to gain additional experience and test online marketing strategies that clients were not always ready to implement. The result of these efforts was an online retail business specializing in box spring beds, which, over time, was expanded to include a physical showroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/showme-stores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/eugen-sidelnikow.jpg\" alt=\"Eugen Sidelnikow - CEO Showme Stores\" class=\"wp-image-1817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/showme-stores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/eugen-sidelnikow.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/showme-stores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/eugen-sidelnikow-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/showme-stores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/eugen-sidelnikow-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Eugen Sidelnikow &#8211; CEO Showme Stores <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It became clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To be convinced of a product and receive in-depth advice, customers are willing to travel long distances \u2014 even more than 100 km.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customers who visit the showroom often end up purchasing more expensive products than originally planned, as well as additional complementary items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, one single showroom is, of course, not enough to cover all of Germany.

In the furniture industry in particular, a physical presence remains essential. While many customers conduct their research online \u2014 a phenomenon known as ROPO (Research Online, Purchase Offline) \u2014 which highlights the need for an effective and informative website, they still prefer to see and test products in person before making a purchase. This is especially true for larger, higher-priced furniture pieces that are intended for long-term use.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opening your own retail stores poses a significant entrepreneurial challenge and high financial risk for online shops. It requires extensive expertise in areas such as real estate development, personnel management, and administration \u2014 not to mention the considerable fixed costs involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where Showme Stores comes in: We handle the time-consuming search for suitable properties, take care of attractive store design, and hire qualified sales consultants, who are carefully trained by us. As an exhibitor, you can focus entirely on delivering your products and presenting them perfectly in line with your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first location opened in <a href=\"https:\/\/showme-stores.com\/en\/frankfurt-dreieich\/\">Dreieich near Frankfurt<\/a>.<br\/>The next will follow in <a href=\"https:\/\/showme-stores.com\/en\/bad-saeckingen\/\">Bad S\u00e4ckingen<\/a> near the Swiss border, and another showroom is scheduled to open in Bielefeld in July 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Showme Stores \u2013 The Story Behind the Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Showme Stores was born out of a deep understanding of customer needs \u2014 in B2C (Business to Consumer), B2B (Business to Business), and D2C (Direct to Consumer) markets. Paul Sidelnikow recognized early on the challenges online shops face, while also seeing the enormous potential to create an innovative startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name Showme came to life in June 2022, just before midnight, in a hotel in Leipzig during a market research trip. It was first quickly scribbled on a piece of paper, along with some initial logo ideas, and then refined over the following months through an in-house corporate identity process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name Showme reflects two perspectives: From the consumer\u2019s point of view, it expresses the desire: \u201cShow me the product\u201d \u2014 highlighting the importance of physical retail. From the online shop\u2019s perspective, it means: \u201cShow me to the customer\u201d \u2014 emphasizing brand visibility and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our mission is to provide the online retail industry with an innovative, future-oriented gateway to physical sales channels, while strengthening brand awareness. At the same time, we aim to deliver an outstanding offline shopping experience for customers who value seeing, touching, and experiencing products before they buy.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-4932","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
