Turn Every Window Into a Qualified Shutter Lead
Exterior shutters are the fastest way to transform a home's curb appeal — but homeowners can't commit to a style, color, or material they've never seen on their own house. Vizzion lets them upload a photo and preview shutters on their actual facade in seconds. They enter their email to save the result. You get a warm, exclusive lead with their style preferences already attached.
Shutter Sales Stall Because Homeowners Can't See What They're Buying
The U.S. exterior shutters market exceeds $3 billion annually, and the math behind each job is straightforward: a full-home shutter installation runs $1,500 to $5,000 depending on material, style, and window count. Vinyl sits at the entry level around $150 to $350 per pair. Composite and engineered wood push into the $300 to $600 range. Premium hardwood — eastern red cedar, mahogany, Spanish cedar — starts at $500 per pair and climbs from there. Aluminum hurricane shutters command $700 or more in coastal markets. For a typical four-bedroom home with ten to fourteen windows, that's a $2,000 to $7,000 decision. Homeowners don't impulse-buy at that price point, and your competitors know it — which is why every shutter company is fighting for the same pool of hesitant prospects.
The core problem is that shutters are a purely aesthetic purchase, yet the industry offers homeowners almost nothing to help them visualize the outcome. A homeowner staring at their split-level ranch is trying to decide between raised panel shutters in black, louvered shutters in hunter green, or board-and-batten shutters in iron gray. Each option would give their house a completely different personality — colonial elegance, coastal charm, or modern farmhouse. But all they have is a four-inch color swatch, a portfolio page of houses that look nothing like theirs, and maybe a generic "design your shutters" tool that renders options on a stock Colonial that bears no resemblance to their actual home. The gap between interest and commitment is where your sales pipeline bleeds out.
And the complexity doesn't stop at style. Shutters exist in a visual ecosystem with siding, trim, front door, roofline, and landscaping. A homeowner with Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray siding and a burgundy front door faces entirely different shutter options than someone with James Hardie Arctic White and a navy door. Hardware — decorative hinges, shutter dogs, holdbacks, pintles — adds another dimension of visual customization that catalogs can't convey. Then there's compliance: in historical districts from Charleston to Georgetown, and in HOA communities from coast to coast, specific shutter styles, proportions, and even mounting methods are mandated. A homeowner who guesses wrong faces a rejection letter and a second purchase. Without seeing the complete picture on their own home, prospects either stall for weeks requesting in-home consultations, default to the cheapest vinyl option to minimize risk, or abandon the project altogether. Every one of those outcomes costs you money.
Close the Visualization Gap Before the First Consultation
Vizzion embeds directly on your website and lets homeowners see exterior shutters on their actual home. They upload a photo, preview different styles and colors on their own facade, and enter their email to save the result. You get a warm, exclusive lead — complete with their home photo and style preferences — before your sales team picks up the phone.
Style Confidence That Eliminates Callback Loops
Raised panel, louvered, board-and-batten, Bahama, combination — each style transforms a home differently. Vizzion lets homeowners see these options on their own house, so they arrive at the consultation already knowing what they want. No more scheduling three follow-up visits while they debate between Colonial and Craftsman aesthetics.
Color Coordination Across the Entire Facade
Shutters don't exist in a vacuum. They interact with siding color, trim, roofing material, the front door, even stone or brick accents. Vizzion renders the full picture — how black louvered shutters look against warm beige siding, or how sage green board-and-batten pairs with a slate gray roof. Homeowners resolve their color uncertainty on your website instead of requesting in-home swatch sessions.
Material Upgrades Sell Themselves
When a homeowner sees the visible difference between flat vinyl and textured composite or real cedar on their own home, the premium option stops being an abstract upcharge and becomes an obvious choice. Your average ticket size climbs because the visual proof does the upselling — no high-pressure pitch required.
HOA and Historic District Compliance Built In
In regulated neighborhoods — from Charleston's Board of Architectural Review to suburban HOAs with shutter mandates — choosing the wrong style means a rejection notice and a do-over. Vizzion lets homeowners preview compliant options on their own facade before committing, removing the compliance anxiety that stalls projects for months.
Leads With Intent, Not Just Contact Info
A homeowner who uploads a photo of their house, compares three shutter styles, picks a color, and submits their email has invested real attention in the decision. That's a fundamentally different lead than a name and phone number from a generic quote form — and your close rate will reflect it.
Three Steps. Five Minutes to Install. Leads Start Flowing.
No developer needed, no six-week onboarding. Paste a snippet on your website, customize the look, and start converting your existing traffic into shutter leads today.
Embed the Widget on Your Site
Copy one snippet and paste it onto any page — your homepage, a shutter gallery, or a dedicated "Preview Shutters on Your Home" landing page. The widget inherits your brand colors automatically. Setup takes under five minutes. Works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, and custom-built sites.
Homeowner Uploads a Photo and Previews Shutter Options
A visitor clicks the widget, uploads a front-facing photo of their home — phone photo, Google Maps screenshot, or any clear exterior image — and within seconds sees realistic shutter options on their actual facade. They can compare raised panel versus louvered, explore colors against their existing siding and trim, and see how different materials change the look. Every preview is specific to their house.
You Get a Qualified Lead, They Get Visual Certainty
To save or share their shutter preview, the homeowner enters their email. That lead flows directly into your CRM or inbox — complete with their contact info, home photo, and the styles and colors they explored. Your sales team follows up with a prospect who has already narrowed their preferences and seen the result on their own home.

Homeowners who visualize composite or hardwood shutters on their own home consistently choose higher-end materials over entry-level vinyl. The average project value for visualized leads trends toward $3,400 — well above the $2,000 baseline for sight-unseen vinyl orders.
More than half of homeowners planning exterior upgrades start their research online. If your website gives them a static gallery and a quote form, you're losing the majority of prospects to competitors who offer a more engaging experience.
Shutter selection typically requires multiple in-home or showroom appointments as homeowners narrow down style, color, and material. Vizzion compresses that process into a single website session — the homeowner arrives at the first consultation already knowing what they want.
Budget Blinds, Gotcha Covered, and similar shutter and blind franchises operate over 1,100 locations across North America. Vizzion deploys across franchise networks with consistent branding and territory-specific lead routing — one widget, every location.
When homeowners see the tangible difference between vinyl and composite or real wood shutters rendered on their own home, more than half choose the premium option. Visualization turns an abstract price difference into a visible quality difference — and your average ticket climbs accordingly.
Homeowners who preview shutters on their actual home move from initial inquiry to signed contract nearly two weeks faster than those navigating swatches and showroom samples. Fewer deliberation cycles, fewer ghosted follow-ups, faster revenue in your pipeline.
The Old Way vs. The Vizzion Way
The Old Way
- Tiny color swatches that look nothing like the finished product on a real house
- Three to five in-home consultations just to narrow down style and color preferences
- Portfolio pages of other people's homes — none matching the prospect's architecture
- Homeowners default to the cheapest vinyl because they can't visualize why premium matters
- Leads go cold after the first visit because they're still stuck deciding between styles
- Quote form captures a name and phone number — zero context on what they actually want

- Style, color, and material decisions happen on your website — before you drive to the house

- Leads arrive pre-decided on style and color, ready to discuss pricing and installation timing
- Rich lead data: home photo, styles compared, colors explored, material preference, email captured
What Exterior Shutters Companies Are Saying
“We used to haul a swatch binder to every initial consultation and spend an hour watching the homeowner flip back and forth between green and black. Since adding Vizzion, about 65% of our leads already know they want board-and-batten in a specific color before we even pull into the driveway. Our average project jumped from $2,100 to $3,300 because people actually see the difference between vinyl and composite on their own house — they upgrade themselves.”
“We run a Budget Blinds franchise and our website was doing nothing — nice photos, zero engagement, maybe eight web leads a month. We added Vizzion to our exterior shutter page and our homepage. Within six weeks we were pulling 35 to 40 web leads monthly. The closer says these are the easiest appointments he's ever had because the homeowner already picked a style. Our callback-to-close ratio went from about one in five to nearly one in three.”
“Half our projects are in Savannah's historic district where the review board dictates shutter styles down to the pintle hardware. Homeowners used to be paralyzed — terrified of spending $4,000 on shutters that get rejected. Now they preview approved options on their own home through our site and come in ready to sign. Our close rate on historic district work went from around 22% to just over 48%. That's the difference between a profitable quarter and a break-even one.”
