The Gerflor Group creates, manufactures, and markets innovative, decorative and eco-responsible solutions for resilient floors. COPP Montreal works with Gerflor Canada.

In January 2016, Gerflor Canada had no social media presence. In addition, the Gerflor website was not driving qualified consumer traffic to Gerflor Flooring dealers.

COPP Montreal launched an engaging design-tip oriented ‘Gerflor Canada’ Facebook page in English and a separate ‘Gerflor Canada Francais’ page. We believed separate french and english pages would generate more likes and followers.

Flooring consumers are on a journey and are looking for ideas. COPP Montreal ensured visitors and followers viewed content that could help consumers make the right flooring decision. Social media became a key driver of website traffic.

In less than 8 months, our 12 month goal was reached. Gerflor Canada earned more total likes and followers than five of their key competitors and drove 30% of the traffic to the GeflorCanada.ca website.

You have a blink of an eye to engage Facebook followers. That is why it is best to keep text short and in one language.

Senso Adjust Free Flooring Promotion (June 2016)

When Gerflor Canada launched Senso Adjust, COPP Montreal ran a contest to increase awareness and excitement about the new product. It reached over 3,504 people, with significant engagement (likes, comments, shares and post clicks). The promotion also enabled Gerflor to add potential flooring consumers to its newsletter database.

COPP was selected as the design firm to work with the RBC Global Asset Management group on their latest version (2014) of a financial services app – for use by over 40,000 financial advisors across Canada. With multiple users, all with varying levels of comfort with web information technology, the app had to be designed with very simple cues for interaction and engagement…for an extremely large database of financial material and customer tools. Huge and positive response from financial planners across the country. The client and RBC in general were pleased with the results.
