In August, Lowe’s CEO Marvin Ellison noted that the company has about 25% penetration in the professional market and is working to improve that going forward. Lowe’s didn’t have a clear strategy for attracting pros for almost a decade until Ellison took over in 2018.
Lowe’s recently transitioned its Lowe’s For Pros program to the cloud and integrated it into the main Lowe’s website, which gives its professional users more features, faster updates and personalized offers, such as rapid reorder on frequently purchased items.
