UK-based home improvement retailer Travis Perkins recently announced it will be open online, offering a click and collect service along with direct delivery to one's door.
The company is "one of the largest suppliers of building materials to the UK’s building and construction industry" and prides itself on its dedication to "product quality and expert customer service." Its latest television ad promotes the retailer's new transition to an e-commerce space -- a marketing move that has been especially beneficial during the COVID-19 pandemic as home improvement and DIY projects are on the rise.
The ad highlights Travis Perkins' vast product range of bricks, timber, power tools and more, along with essentials for landscaping, drainage, painting, decorating and plumbing home maintenance projects.
