The shift
George Bamford narrates how he questioned other watch brands, all in the quest of giving a personal touch to his brand. “How many of these watch brands have been asked by clients, “I want it in that green, can I have it in this, or that?” and they’ve always been told, “no”. Now they’re not being told “no” any more.” Bamford made it his business to give the customer exactly what he wants. That is how the Woocommerce Product Configurator came in handy.Creating the ideal online watch configurator
Bamford knew exactly what he needed for his business. Statistics have shown that people prefer having a personalized shopping experience because it makes them feel unique.

Bamford Watch found Woocommerce Product Configurator as the perfect plugin to accomplish that mission. Below is a view of how Bamford uses our watch configurator to satisfy his clients.
