Digital channels are now our primary way of communicating with clients, with print and broadcast media playing a supporting role, enabling us to create more marketing interactions with our clients at a lower cost. In fiscal 2021, we deployed a digital magazine initiative designed to reach both existing clients and prospects. Published bi-monthly and promoted via national email and dedicated prospect emails, these magazines have enabled us to deploy fewer direct mail pieces while increasing revenue and gaining new clients. Continuous optimization of our website, including both the ongoing optimization of existing product pages and the creation of new search-optimized landing pages and content designed to extend time on site, resulted in increased traffic and revenue. We also saw significant increases in email marketing revenue, both from national emails and through new automated email buyer journeys.

Centering our business around a made-to-order model minimizes inventory while enabling us to maintain an extensive catalog of products and customizations that can be created on demand. Through customization, we project ourselves as a luxury brand offering truly handcrafted furnishings while reinforcing the value of our complimentary interior design service. Market conditions in fiscal 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, made premiering large new product lines a challenge, so we chose instead to deepen our customization offerings by, among other things, expanding our fabric selection. We also revamped our accent categories to include an evergreen selection of core essentials, enabling us to bring in a revolving cast of statement pieces. 3 strategic merchandising projections Through our Classic (40% of offerings), Country & Coastal (40%), and Modern (20%) projections, we offer three distinct and aspirational lifestyles to our clients while maintaining maximum flexibility in how we position our offerings. Customization makes it possible to fit one furniture style into multiple projections, ensuring the ongoing relevance of popular frames while giving us the opportunity to present those frames in new contexts to a younger client base. To strengthen our Country & Coastal offerings, we debuted a modern-farmhouse-inspired selection of upholstery, case goods, and accents that introduced industrial elements while maintaining the look of bench-made furniture. Building on the success of our Craft & Custom launch, we also added custom bedroom styles to our existing custom dining table and buffet options. 8 customization 2021 style book In fiscal 2021, we debuted a completely refreshed Style Book that showcased our three projections while also highlighting growing business segments, such as home office, and key accent categories. Wrapped in an embossed cover with stunning gold lettering, the book is a coffee-table keepsake in the tradition of the Ethan Allen Treasury but designed to share the Ethan Allen story with a new generation of clients. 9 customization Beecher Falls, VT Our commitment to manufacturing most of our own products has proven both a strategic and a branding advantage, particularly during fiscal 2021. Even with supply chain challenges, primarily related to lumber and foam, we maintained favorable lead times in comparison to many of our competitors.
