Insight Flash: CE data explores whether brand equity is really driving performance of Overstock.com‘s transition to a relaunched Bed Bath & Beyond website.
Overstock.com has retired its own website and relaunched a Bed Bath & Beyond-branded site in its place. Although the home furnishings site has seen instant popularity, it’s also been fueled by a huge marketing push from Overstock. Will the success continue once the hype dies down?
Only 22% of shoppers on the relaunched site were former Bed Bath customers, implying that the brand equity may not be carrying as much weight as general marketing noise. Additionally, the furniture-heavy assortment is so dramatically different that it might not hold the same attraction for former Bed Bath loyalists – the average ticket is almost 2.5x what it was on the old site.
