Lighting marketing agency

Marketing for lighting brands: cap types and lumens on the page, IP ratings, energy labelling in the feed, bulb attach and hanging height content that ranks.

How a light fitting gets chosen

Lighting is the one home category where a shopper can buy exactly the right product and still not be able to use it. The cap does not match the bulbs they own. The fitting is hardwired and they had not budgeted for an electrician. The pendant hangs too low over the table. The bathroom light is not rated for the zone it was bought for.

We write growth plans for lighting brands that already sell online. The plan makes the electrical facts easy to find: cap type, whether a bulb is included, lumens and colour temperature, dimmable or not, the IP rating, and whether the piece plugs in or needs wiring.

Then it handles the commercial side. Feeds that carry energy labelling where the market requires it, campaigns split between lamps that go by parcel and chandeliers that do not, and content that answers the hanging height question everyone asks and few brands answer.

Lighting is bought in two very different moods. One shopper is decorating and wants the object: the shape of the pendant, the finish, the way a shade glows. The other is solving a problem: a dark corner, a kitchen island with nothing over it, a bathroom mirror you cannot see by.

Both stall on the same technical questions. Which cap does the bulb take, and is a bulb included. How bright is it in lumens rather than watts, and how warm in kelvin. Will it dim, and will it dim on the switch already in the wall. Is it an integrated LED, in which case the fitting is the bulb and its life is the fitting's life.

Installation is the next decision. A plug in lamp is bought on the spot. A hardwired pendant or wall light means an electrician, so the shopper is pricing the fitting and the labour together and will delay until they have both.

Then the room rules. How far above a dining table a pendant should hang. How many spots a kitchen needs. What IP rating a bathroom zone requires. Whether the ceiling can take the weight of a chandelier.

Demand climbs as evenings get darker and again through the spring renovation season.

Where lighting brands
lose revenue

The four levers, in this niche.

Visitors

Visitors: decorative searches and technical searches

Lighting demand splits in two and both halves buy. Decorative: ribbed glass pendant, brass wall sconce, linen drum shade. Technical: plug in wall light with no wiring, IP44 bathroom ceiling light, warm white spotlight. Feed titles and collection pages that carry the finish, the fitting type and the electrical detail catch both. Guidance on hanging heights, cap types and how many lumens a room needs brings in shoppers weeks ahead of purchase and keeps working long after a campaign stops.

Conversion rate

Conversion: put the electrical facts on the page

The page converts when the specification is visible rather than sitting in a downloadable sheet. Cap type, bulb included or not, maximum wattage, lumens, colour temperature, dimmable and on what kind of dimmer, IP rating, voltage, cable or chain length and whether it can be shortened, weight, and whether fitting it needs an electrician. Photograph the light lit as well as unlit, because a shopper is buying the light, not only the object that makes it.

Average order

Order value: bulbs, pairs and matching finishes

Bulbs are the obvious attach and most lighting stores undersell them. If a fitting takes three bulbs and includes none, offer the right cap, brightness and colour temperature in the cart in one click. Rooms take pairs and sets: two bedside lamps, three pendants over an island, a matching wall light in the same hallway. Dimmer modules, longer flex, ceiling roses and spare shades add margin. A shipping threshold set above a single fitting makes the second one easy.

Repeat purchases

Repeat purchases: room by room in the same finish

Lighting repeats by room, and for integrated fittings it does not repeat at all until something fails. Someone who has lit the kitchen still has a hallway, a bedroom and a garden. Record the finish they chose, because matching brass or black across a home is a motivation people genuinely act on. For fittings that take standard caps, bulb replacement is a real reorder, so keep the cap type on the customer record. Renovation work comes in waves, so a quiet customer may be about to spend again.

What we do for
lighting brands

Five channels, one plan.

Google Shopping and search

Google Shopping and search ads for lighting

Titles should read the way a lighting search reads: Ribbed Glass Pendant Light, Brushed Brass, E27, or IP44 Bathroom Ceiling Light, Chrome, GU10 Included. Cap type and IP rating in the title win the technical searches that purely decorative listings never reach.

Split campaigns by fitting type first, since pendants, wall lights, floor lamps, table lamps and spotlights are separate purchases with separate margins. Then split by despatch method, because a table lamp goes in a parcel and a large chandelier does not, and the two cannot share a shipping assumption.

Search ads take the questions a tile cannot: plug in wall lights with no wiring needed, dimmable pendant for a low ceiling, what light is safe above a shower. Copy names the cap, whether a bulb is included and whether an electrician is required. Negatives clear car headlights, stage and studio lighting, grow lights, festive string lights and commercial fittings unless you stock them.

Meta and TikTok

Meta and TikTok ads for lighting

Sell the light, not the lamp. The creative that works shows a room going from overhead glare to layered lamps, a dimmer being turned down on camera, or a warm shade glowing against a dark window. Still images of an unlit fitting on white tell a viewer nothing about the only thing they are buying.

Installation content performs unusually well. Swapping a ceiling rose, shortening a flex, choosing a bulb for a shade, positioning a pendant over an island. It reaches people at the moment they are deciding whether the job is within reach.

Audiences build from home renovation interest, recent movers where that is available, and your own buyer list segmented by finish and by room. Retargeting should carry the practical answer the viewer was missing rather than a discount, since price is rarely the objection. Catalogue ads need lit imagery in the feed or they will underperform every other format you run.

Merchant Center and the feed

Merchant Center and the feed for lighting

Lighting has a compliance layer most home categories do not. In the European market, light sources carry an energy efficiency class and a link to the product information sheet, and Merchant Center has attributes for that class. If you sell there, the feed has to carry them and they have to match the label on the box.

Beyond that, put cap type, lumens, colour temperature in kelvin, IP rating, maximum wattage, dimmable status, integrated or replaceable light source, and cable length in product_detail, and use product_highlight for whether a bulb is included. Every finish of one design shares an item_group_id, and colour takes Google's plain value with your finish name kept in the title.

Voltage and plug type differ by market, so region specific feeds should not share a single item where the electrical fit differs. Band shipping by size and weight, because chandeliers and floor lamps cannot ride on a lamp shade rate. Include a lit image among the additional images.

SEO and AI search

SEO and AI search for lighting

Lighting questions are practical and repeatable, which makes them ideal for search and for assistants. How high should a pendant hang above a dining table. What is the difference between E27 and E14. Which IP rating do I need above a bath. How many lumens does a living room need. Why do my LED bulbs flicker when dimmed. Can I shorten the cable on a pendant.

Write each as a page that opens with the answer and uses your own fittings as the example. A bulb and cap guide, a colour temperature guide and a room by room lighting plan are the three that earn most.

Collection pages should exist per room, per fitting type and per finish with real copy. Product pages carry the full specification as text rather than inside a spec image. Structured data on products and questions, plus reviews that mention the room and the bulb used, gives assistants something specific to quote back.

Email and SMS

Email and SMS for lighting

The most useful message a lighting brand sends arrives before installation. Confirm what is in the box, state the cap type and whether bulbs are included, link the installation guidance, and say plainly whether the job needs an electrician. That one email prevents a large share of the returns and the support tickets in this category.

After that, the bulb reorder is a real and repeatable flow for fittings with replaceable lamps. Save the cap and the colour temperature the customer chose and offer the matching pack when the time comes.

Then finish matching. New arrivals in the brass or black they already bought go to those customers first, framed as completing the house rather than as a new range. Room by room prompts follow, weighted towards the darker months when lamps sell hardest. Keep SMS for delivery slots on large fittings and for restocks people asked to be told about.

First three fixes

What the plan usually starts with for lighting brands.

  1. Cap type missing from the listing

    The page shows a beautiful pendant and never says whether it takes an E27, an E14, a B22 or a GU10, or whether a bulb is in the box. Shoppers who have been caught out before leave, and those who do not leave order the wrong bulbs. We put the cap, the maximum wattage and the bulb inclusion in the title, the specification and the feed.

  2. Fittings photographed unlit

    Every image shows the object switched off on a white background, so the shopper cannot see the quality of light, the glow through the shade or the shadow pattern a shade throws. We add a lit shot in a real room to the gallery and to the feed images, which changes performance on catalogue ads more than any bid change.

  3. Chandeliers charged like table lamps

    One flat shipping rate covers a small lamp and a large multi arm fitting, so heavy pieces lose money and fragile ones arrive damaged. We band shipping by weight and dimension, set item level shipping in the feed, and add packaging and installation notes to the pages of the fittings that need two people or a fixed ceiling point.

Questions from lighting brands

Light sources sold in the European market carry an energy efficiency class and a product information sheet, and Merchant Center provides attributes to declare that class in the feed. Send the class exactly as it appears on the packaging label, keep it in step when a supplier changes a component, and make sure the same information appears on the product page.

Yes, and offer them at the point of purchase rather than as a separate category. A fitting that needs three bulbs the customer does not own is a fitting that sits in a box. Match the cap, wattage and colour temperature to the item in the cart, offer a multipack, and say clearly on the product page whether bulbs are included.

By being straight about the job and giving alternatives. Say on the page whether the fitting is hardwired, roughly what the work involves, and how long it usually takes. Then make your plug in range easy to find, since a large group of shoppers, especially renters, will buy a plug in wall light the moment they learn it exists.

The measurement and specification questions. Hanging heights above tables and islands, how many lumens a room needs, which IP rating suits a bathroom zone, the difference between cap types, and why some LEDs flicker on old dimmers. These are asked constantly, they are asked of assistants as often as of search engines, and the brand that answers them clearly gets recommended.

Sell the rest of the house. Record the finish and the room, then talk to that customer about the hallway, the bedroom and the garden in the same metal. Bulb replacement is a genuine reorder for fittings with standard caps, so keep the cap type on file. Renovation happens in phases, so a quiet customer is often mid project rather than gone.
