Key takeaways
A kitchen showroom social media budget can be substantial, because each project is worth thousands and homeowners research for months. As a GBL rule of thumb, independent kitchen and bathroom showrooms spend £800–£3,000 a month, much of it on finished-project photos and video and retargeting, with ads inviting people to book a design visit.
- £800–£3,000 a month for most independent showrooms.
- Finished-project photos and video are the main asset.
- Retargeting keeps proof in front of slow decision-makers.
- Judge on design visits and sales over a quarter.

Chat on WhatsApp →What can a showroom afford per lead?
Work from gross profit and close rate. Illustrative example: £4,000 gross profit on an average kitchen and a 25% close rate from design visits allows up to £1,000 per design visit at break-even. Targets well below that still leave room for meaningful ad spend.
Send us your average project value and close rate on WhatsApp and we will discuss your requirements.
Chat on WhatsApp →What should the budget pay for?
Professional photos and short videos of finished installations, customer stories, guides to price ranges and process, ads offering showroom or home design visits, and retargeting for website visitors over 60 to 180 days. Homeowners compare for weeks, so staying visible matters.
Which rules should you watch?
Price claims must be accurate, including 'from' prices and sale offers. Before-and-after images should show your own work. If you offer finance, financial promotion rules apply, so check wording with your finance provider.
What does this look like in practice?
A pattern we see: a showroom runs short campaigns and stops after a few weeks with few sales, missing buyers who would decide months later. Running steady proof content and long retargeting usually shows sales arriving over the following quarter.

Frequently asked questions
How much should a kitchen company spend on social media?
Independent kitchen and bathroom showrooms often spend £800–£3,000 a month, including content and ads. Because each project is worth thousands, the business can afford a high cost per design visit, but results take months, so judge over a quarter. Review spend each quarter against bookings or enquiries, and adjust it in small steps.
What content gets kitchen leads?
Professional photos and short videos of finished projects, customer stories, honest guides to price ranges and process, and clear invitations to book a design visit. Homeowners compare for weeks, so consistent proof matters more than one-off promotions. Review spend each quarter against bookings or enquiries, and adjust it in small steps.
How long do kitchen ads take to work?
Often two to three months or more, because homeowners research, save ideas and visit several showrooms. Use retargeting over 60 to 180 days and track leads and sales by source over a quarter rather than judging campaigns after a few weeks.
