Recognising Local Brands
»»More than 50 Emplas
customers have now qualified for their ‘ownbranded’ frame protective tape, part of the
Emplas marketing support package designed
to help installers grow their own brands.
On the basis that they meet small average
order volumes, Emplas will remove system
company branded tape and replace it with
a specially designed and printed profile
tape, carrying the logo and branding of that
individual installation business.
It’s also offered to members of the Emplas
Installer Partnership, which was recently
launched and forms a commitment from
Emplas to support retailers.
Mike Crewdson, Sales and Marketing
Director, Emplas said: “We know from
experience through our own local retail
business that branding which is directly
associated with a local community, adds
a huge amount of credibility to your
business.
“Emplas, or the names of any number
of systems companies don’t mean much
outside the window industry but ‘ABC
Windows’ in wherever town, will mean
something to the people that live there.
For that reason we don’t push our own
trade brand but the retail brands of our
customers.”

A perfect sash
»»FrameXpress was recently
contracted to supply all new sash windows
for a renovation project in Essex, where
it was stipulated by the local authority
that aesthetics must match the style of the
property and surrounding area.
For the end users it was considered a
major investment in a property that they
wished to fully restore before looking at
selling in a housing market that is starting
to look buoyant.
Ian Davis, Sales Manager frameXpress
commented: “Today, replacement sash
windows make a stunning finish to period
homes and it does not have to be a hugely
expensive investment to give windows a new
lease of life.
“Our range lends itself well to restoration
projects and enables customers to broaden
their business, giving them scope to offer a
little more than just the standard window
styles and colours. Certainly, there is no
shortage of enthusiasm regarding the
benefits of installing sash windows.” Ian
adds.

their preferred long-term profile partner

controlled. For Flair this means that they can
operate more efficiently and across a large
number of profile variations and colours.
