Marketing & Sales
XAL sells premium products. This demands a sophisticated marketing strategy and professional customer service that is ideally tailored to meet the high expectations of our target group, primarily architects, lighting planners and designers. Design not only plays an essential role in our products, it is also a vital part of their presentation and marketing. In conceiving, designing and implementing marketing campaigns, the primary objective of our marketing department is to bring our products, services and events closer to these target groups, thus supporting our sales force in acquiring, advising and servicing customers at a global level. This functions through a range of channels and media, such as digital online marketing, landing pages, social media and videos, as well as classic print media, trade catalogues and international trade fairs and events. Marketing provides support across all of our brands: XAL, Wever & Ducré, Wästberg, XTEC, xalax.
