    Lowe's Capabilities

    End-to-end channel management backed by operational expertise and technology.

    Project-Based Merchandising

    Align to how customers actually buy

    Position products inside complete project paths — not isolated listings. Growth on Lowe's is driven by attachment: how your products connect to larger projects and increase total basket size.

    • Project bundling & cross-category attachment
    • Category + price tier alignment
    • Installation & service integration
    • Basket-building strategy

    Dual Customer Economics

    Two buyers, two playbooks

    Pro customers represent a smaller share of traffic but a disproportionate share of revenue and repeat volume. Serving both Pro and DIY requires fundamentally different pricing, packaging, and positioning strategies.

    • Pro pricing + bulk structures
    • Contractor-grade assortment positioning
    • DIY content + inspiration flows
    • Velocity vs. margin balancing

    Retail Media & Demand

    Seasonal + project-driven activation

    Activate demand across Lowe's One Roof Media Network with campaigns aligned to seasonal cycles and project-driven shopping behavior.

    • Sponsored product placements
    • Category + seasonal campaigns
    • Pro audience targeting
    • In-store + digital coordination

    Retail Calendar Execution

    Win the moments that drive the category

    Spring is the largest revenue window. Storm prep cycles spike regionally. Holiday lighting is a planning event. Brands that show up late to these windows lose — we plan months ahead.

    • Spring outdoor (largest revenue window)
    • Storm + emergency prep cycles
    • Holiday + seasonal lighting
    • Regional demand shift planning

    Heavy Logistics Execution

    Where execution breaks first

    Execution breaks at fulfillment long before it breaks at demand. Home improvement logistics — LTL freight, oversized handling, fragile materials, last-mile delivery — is where most brands fail on Lowe's.

    • LTL / freight coordination
    • Oversized + fragile item handling
    • Delivery + installation alignment
    • Pickup + last-mile options

    Retail Operations & Performance

    Multi-model coordination

    Operate within Lowe's performance expectations while managing the complexity of vendor, marketplace, and fulfillment model coordination.

    • Scorecard performance monitoring
    • Inventory + in-stock alignment
    • Vendor vs. marketplace coordination
    • Issue resolution + compliance

    Lowe's Is a Project System, Not a SKU Channel

    Lowe's is not a SKU-driven channel — it's a project-driven retail environment. Customers don't shop for products. They shop for outcomes: build a deck, renovate a bathroom, replace a roof, upgrade a kitchen.

    Winning on Lowe's means positioning your products inside complete project paths, not isolated listings. At the same time, Lowe's serves two distinct buyers: DIY consumers driven by inspiration and Pro contractors driven by speed, price, and reliability. Each requires different pricing, packaging, and merchandising strategies — and most brands fail to balance both.

    Most brands underperform on Lowe's not because of demand — but because they treat it like a traditional eCommerce channel instead of a project-driven retail system.

    The Logistics Reality

    Home improvement is a logistics game. Oversized items, fragile materials, LTL freight, installation coordination, and last-mile delivery challenges make Lowe's one of the most operationally demanding retail channels.

    Winning brands ship correctly, deliver on time, and handle damage and returns efficiently. Losing brands break here — long before demand is ever the problem. This is where CPGIO's operational infrastructure becomes the difference between a growing channel and a chargebacks headache.

    CPGIO Operates Lowe's as a Project & Fulfillment System

    We don't manage Lowe's as a listing channel. We operate it as a project and fulfillment system — because that's what it is.

    That means project-based assortment strategy focused on how products bundle into real jobs. Pro vs. DIY segmentation with distinct pricing, packaging, and positioning for each. Seasonal and event-driven planning that starts months before the window opens. And operational execution across freight, inventory, and delivery that meets Lowe's performance standards.

    We don't just help you sell products — we position you inside the jobs customers are trying to complete.
