How Cabinet Era expanded from 3 to 6 locations.

Cabinet Era ran three showrooms when the partnership began and six by the end of a four-plus-year run. Warehouse capacity and team size grew in the same period — 20K to 125K square feet and 15 to 50+ people — and the company launched its own line, Vita Cabinetry. Co-founder Nathan M. describes the company’s expansion and the marketing work behind the partnership on camera.

Cabinet Era

Where they started

Three showrooms, one problem: the phones didn't ring evenly. Nathan and his partners had built a quality operation, and they knew it could be bigger.

  • One location stayed busy while another sat quiet. Lead flow depended on the month.
  • Each showroom marketed on its own. No single playbook across locations.
  • Buyers searching online barely found them.
  • Quotes and follow-up ran by hand, and deals slipped in the gaps.
  • Nobody could say which marketing dollar brought which sale.

What should you compare before applying a case result?

Start with the named client’s market, starting point, channel mix, and sales process. Then compare the cost and quality of your own leads, the budget you can support, and the role each channel plays before treating any outcome as relevant to your business. Check whether the client had the same buyer type, service area, sales capacity, and measurement setup as you. Also separate a result created by a long-running program from one created during a launch or recovery. Use our cabinet lead cost guide, marketing budget guide, and Google Ads vs. SEO guide to frame that comparison for your business.

Questions

People also ask

What results did Cabinet Era see with CabinetBoost?

3 to 6 locations. Cabinet Era grew from 3 showrooms to 6 and expanded warehouse space from 20K to 125K square feet, a 6x jump. Over the partnership, sales grew 15x, the team went from 15 to 50+, monthly leads reached 500+, and conversion rate rose 45%. The company also launched its own house line, Vita Cabinetry.

How long did Cabinet Era work with CabinetBoost?

4+ years. The partnership spans more than four years, long enough to take Cabinet Era from 3 locations to 6 and grow the team from 15 to 50+. Co-Founder Nathan M. tells the story on camera, and the numbers reflect that full multi-year run, not one short campaign.

What did Cabinet Era change to grow?

Four changes. Cabinet Era turned on Google and Meta ads aimed at cabinet buyers in its markets, stronger search visibility showroom by showroom, and one system so no lead sits overnight. A custom sales-floor app, which Nathan M. credits with raising closing rates, plus the launch of house brand Vita Cabinetry rounded out the plan.

What was the custom app Cabinet Era built?

One sales-floor app. A custom sales-floor app built for Cabinet Era’s team. Co-Founder Nathan M. credits it with raising the company’s closing rates and sales. It puts every inquiry into one system that gets answered and followed up, helping reps close more of the 500+ leads coming in each month.

Is this kind of growth typical for a cabinet business?

No. Results vary. Cabinet Era’s 3-to-6 location, 15x sales run reflects four-plus years of steady execution, not a guarantee. The CabinetBoost approach stays the same regardless of size: intent-based Google and Meta ads, search visibility per market, one lead system, and fast follow-up, with every showroom reporting to one console.

Can a dealer use Cabinet Era’s growth as a forecast?

No. Cabinet Era’s result belongs to that named client and reflects its market, team, product, and multi-year work. A dealer can use the case to compare operating questions such as lead handling and location-level visibility, but should evaluate its own sales process and market before setting a forecast.

Hi. My name is Nathan, and we are here at Cabinet Era. We've used maybe four different marketing companies in the past. And all of them, even though they started great and made good promises, they kind of fell off over time to the point that you either have to change them or do micromanagement. So luckily, we found UpMax. They actually made a plan in the beginning, and they followed through. They gave us a good quality. They were very fast on their responses. And in the end, we made an app together that helped us grow mutually, which will enable our sales team to see all the leads coming in and increase our closing rates, which increased our sales. And we're very grateful to them. So I would definitely recommend them, and just give them a try.
