Lumora Home, a young tech company, had developed a smart lamp with voice control, mood lighting, and wireless charging. While the product was sleek and innovative, the founders struggled to figure out how to break into the crowded consumer electronics market. They came to us looking for a way to go beyond being just “another gadget” and build a recognizable, trusted lifestyle brand.

"We had the product, but not the playbook. The team gave us direction, strategy, and the confidence to aim higher. Seeing our lamp on the shelves of stores we grew up shopping in was surreal. Now we’re not just a product — we’re a brand people love."

The challenges
Overcrowded market: Competing against giants like Philips and Xiaomi meant Lumora risked getting lost.
Weak brand story: Their marketing focused on technical specs, not lifestyle appeal.
Retail entry barriers: Big retailers were hesitant to stock a small startup brand.
Unclear pricing: The lamp was priced too high for mass adoption, but too low for premium positioning.
Our approach
We built a structured go-to-market plan that combined brand storytelling, retail partnerships, and targeted marketing.
Phase 1: Shaping the brand
We reframed Lumora from “a smart lamp” into “the lamp that adapts to your life”. Campaign visuals showed everyday moments: reading, late-night work, cozy dinners — all enhanced by the product.
Phase 2: Strategic pricing
We introduced three product versions:
A base model for entry-level customers
A mid-tier model with wireless charging
A premium model with advanced voice integration
This tiered strategy broadened their market without diluting the brand.
Phase 3: Retail partnerships
We secured distribution deals with three major home & electronics chains, plus Amazon exclusives for early adopters.
Phase 4: Digital marketing push
We launched influencer collaborations, lifestyle ads, and user-generated content campaigns. Customers were encouraged to share “#MyLumoraMoments” — building organic buzz.

Lessons learned
Specs don’t sell, stories do: Customers care about how products fit into their lives, not just the tech behind them.
Tiered pricing opens doors: Multiple versions capture different market segments without alienating anyone.
Retail validation matters: Being on store shelves signals trust and drives adoption faster than online-only launches.
Key takeaways
Lumora Home’s journey proves that physical tech products need more than innovation to succeed — they need a brand story, strategic pricing, and retail trust. By shifting their positioning and pushing the right partnerships, they turned a smart lamp into a lifestyle icon
