Fencing Direct Secures Nationwide Sales with Orases Custom Solutions

A new way to buy fencing online

In an industry traditionally ruled by either big box hardware stores or small mom-and-pop shops, Fencing Direct challenged Orases with bringing their fence product to a national audience online. Typically, buying a fence is a complicated process involving permits, surveyors, pushy salespeople, proposals, and guesstimates. By taking out the middleman—your “friendly” hardware store salesperson—fencing direct takes the guesswork and hassle out of buying a fence. The new website is a one-stop shop where you can browse products, design your dream fence, get a quote, and buy your fencing, all from the comfort of your home.

The Challenge

Redefining the fencing industry with a new brand, product, and technology

Fencing Direct came to us with a unique challenge: they were a brand-new company looking to bring a disruptive technology to the fence-buying industry. They needed to establish their brand and launch an e-commerce site that could market their product to a virtually untapped audience nationwide, with the technology to showcase over 10,000 products. Not a small feat.
