CUSTOMERS INVEST IN NEW SHOWROOMS In recent months, REHAU fabricator Shepley Windows has supported three of its customers in setting up impressive new showrooms to showcase its Visage product range. Whilst retail companies continue to invest in online marketing to help generate enquiries, there remains no substitute for face to face interaction with homeowners, and all three are reporting very positive returns from their investments. Lostock Hall Glass Limited’s new showroom in Preston features stunning full height house elevations so visitors can get a real street side view of how the windows and doors will look in their own house. Coupled with a long wall full of window styles and options, homeowners can choose the exact products they want whilst in the showroom. Mountwood Windows and Doors in Oxton on the Wirral similarly picked up thirty enquiries in the first two weeks of opening their showroom from people just walking in off the street. Home Improvements of Brighouse has created what is almost certainly a unique showroom combining windows, doors and roofline with bathrooms. MD Mark Mitchell said: “Our new showroom is already attracting customers.” ‘We’re helping our customers to deliver what buyers want’ Ian Griffiths, Sales Director at Shepley Windows, says: “We’re helping our customers to deliver what buyers want, as well as helping them to increase passing trade.” To read more, visit www.clearview-uk.com Tel: 01226 321450 REACH THE MARKET YOU THOUGHT YOU NEVER COULD Distributed through a national network of over 300 trade counters and growing.
