Kitchen marketing in Cork, where reputation travels fast.
Cork customers largely buy from Cork showrooms. The market is regional, the showrooms are known, and a recommendation from somebody who had their kitchen done last year carries more weight here than anywhere else.
That makes reviews and real local work the whole ballgame, and it makes a company with no visible recent jobs effectively invisible regardless of how good the kitchens are.
Reviews are the online form of word of mouth
In a market this referral-driven, a steady flow of recent reviews is doing the thing the market actually responds to. A handful from three years ago is not.
Ask on completion, in the kitchen, while the customer is still delighted. It is the single cheapest marketing available in this trade and most showrooms never do it.
Show Cork kitchens in Cork houses
A customer in Douglas or Carrigaline wants to see a room they recognise. A portfolio of Dublin extensions does not do that.
Local work, named by area where the customer allows it, is more persuasive than a better-photographed kitchen from somewhere else.
The county is three markets
City and suburbs are competitive and showroom-rich. The harbour towns are newer houses and extensions. West Cork is scattered, second-home heavy and willing to travel for the right company.
West Cork customers will drive to the city for a showroom they have a reason to visit, which makes content and photographs do the work proximity usually does.
Be findable for renovation, not just kitchens
People start by thinking about the room rather than the units. Searches about open plan, knocking through, and extension layouts come months before anyone searches for a kitchen company.
Being present at that stage is how you avoid competing with four showrooms at the end of the process.

To the city, for a showroom they have a reason to visit. Content and photographs do the work that proximity usually does.
Earlier than the kitchen search. People think about the room first — open plan, knocking through, extension layouts — months before they look for a kitchen company.
