Small business furniture manufacturers in the age of digital media are changing the concepts of marketing and sales based on the strategy they recognize the user experiences. This creates a difference between industrial furniture manufacturers and traditional carpentry companies that produce tailor-made furniture. For our research, we examine the core question: “How successfully do small kitchen furniture manufacturers face strong competition in the market through a product personalization approach, considering user experiences and by practicing design management strategy?” With the support of the on-line marketing research, we will research 120 experienced customers, study their marketing need and user experiences of kitchen furniture in the concept of design management strategy.
