Now we’re talking, retail shops! Yes, I’m talk’n to you! Y’all should take a page from ParrotUncle, an online light fixture shop that allows shoppers to custom design their very own lighting! How fantastic!
Design it Yourself! A very clever service at ParrotUncle.
The steps are super easy:
1. Go to ParrotUncle’s DIY page, then click on the “Design It Now” button.
2. You’ll be prompted to upload a photo or drawing of the type of lighting you want – and you can be as specific as you want!
3. Fill out the rest of the form including shade material, color, size and shape; fixture details; canopy; and finally, you can even specify the type of lamp socket, voltage, number of lights, switch type and rod/cord length! Now that’s custom!
See how Wilson Berman turned his love of Rubik’s Cube into his very own table lamp!
