Successful rebranding of Bed Bath and Beyond
Overstock recognized the strong brand value of Bed Bath and Beyond despite its struggling business.

The rebranding efforts in Canada received positive feedback, leading to the quick implementation of the rebrand in the US.

Creating a blended experience
As Overstock transitions to the new Bed Bath and Beyond, they aim to provide a mix of familiar elements for both the Overstock and Bed Bath and Beyond customers.

The company plans to gradually phase out the Overstock logo and focus on promoting Bed Bath and Beyond products. Additionally, the classic Bed Bath and Beyond coupon offerings and the launch of a new mobile app aim to cater to the coupon-loving customers.
