Innovation
To enhance and personalize the window covering shopping experience, Blinds.com developed and released "The Window Shopper", an augmented reality mobile shopping app for iOS (2011) and Android (2012).
In response to demand for window coverings that could be installed quickly and easily, CMO Daniel Cotlar led a partnership with a manufacturing vendor to design a window shade that could be installed without tools or adhesive. This led to the company's patent-pending Instafit shade product.
