Furniture World News Desk on 5/19/2016

Recently, Serta announced the launch of “Comfort Reimagined”, a new advertising campaign supporting the roll out of its new Serta iComfort products, and a new website designed to simplify the mattress research and shopping process for today’s internet-savvy consumers.

“Earlier this year, we unveiled a new tagline, ‘Always Comfortable’, and a new product architecture that puts the Serta brand name first on all mattress collections,” says Andrew Gross, executive vice president of marketing for Serta. “Our new campaign and website were both designed to communicate this brand promise of comfort through product innovation while motivating consumers to experience Serta for themselves at retail.”

New TV ads highlight the all-new Serta iComfort mattresses, completely redesigned from the inside out with new features and now available in both memory foam and hybrid models. The product-focused spots show how Serta’s new triple-action gel technology provides advanced individualized comfort that cradles, supports and aids in temperature regulation, furthering Serta’s commitment to being “Always Comfortable.” Plus, the new commercial includes a cameo from one of Serta’s Counting Sheep, the brand icons loved by retailers and consumers everywhere.

“Comfort is all about the product experience,” says Gross. “Our new ‘Comfort Reimagined’ television spot brings that experience to life in a very compelling way, while connecting the product to the quality and trust associated with the Serta brand.”

The spot ran nationwide starting May 19th via TV and digital video and will be complemented by paid search and display across all devices, social media content, consumer media outreach and influencer support.

The campaign was created in partnership with Serta’s agency Doner, based in Detroit, Michigan.

Making comfort core to the Serta experience included redesigning Serta.com with consumer needs and the drive to retail in mind. The new brand website is designed to put every type of shopper at ease and connect them to retailers through an easy–to–navigate mattress shopping experience that can be accessed via desktop, tablet or mobile devices.

Based on an analysis of data and consumer feedback, the new site includes an array of features designed to better inform shoppers, including searches by price point or comfort level, education on the benefits of adjustable foundations, a mattress selector quiz to guide shoppers to their perfect mattress, and, the “Comfort 101” content hub to attract shoppers on the hunt for mattress and sleep-related content.

“Our new website was designed to resonate with mattress shoppers at every point of the purchase funnel, while reducing the confusion often associated with researching mattresses online, “ says Gross. “By creating a more comfortable and simplified experience, we will drive more consumers to visit their local Serta retailers.”

The ‘Comfort Reimagined’ campaign launches on May 19th. The new website is now live at www.serta.com.
