Hunter Fan Company Bath Fan Installation Guide Development
OVERVIEW Hunter Fan Company has long been recognized for their high quality ceiling fans, humidifiers, lighting and a host of other consumer products. For years, an in-house team has developed their product documentation, occasionally partnering with Infographics� to handle overflow. Their product development team was working through the creation and launch of an extensive new line of bath ventilation fans - a new product category for Hunter - and their internal resources were already spread thin. Hunter turned to Infographics to format and develop all of the installation guides for their 7 new platforms (14 unique products) of bath fan products. |
Client Objectives
- Create a new document format to help trade professionals and DIY consumers understand the new components and installation sequences
- Identify proper steps and sequences involved in the installation processes for new construction and retrofit installations
- Emphasis on visuals for a cost-effective, user-friendly, easy-to-follow and technically accurate communication
- Accommodate multiple products as well as multiple languages
|
infographics� Solution
- Working with a combination of prototype and pre-production components, Infographics was able to identify all of the key steps in both the new-construction and retrofit installation applications using our installation laboratory.
- We applied our process of developing illustrated step-by-step instructions to explain the installation processes in a sequential, easy-to-follow presentation.
|
Results
- Hunter was able to launch their new line of bath fan products on time and within budget.
- The
launch was one of their most successful in recent years - far exceeding
sales projections developed by their marketing team and big-box retail
partners.
- The project has been used as a template for numerous subsequent developments.
