REAL ALUMINIUM INSPIRES INSTALLERS
WITH CUSTOMER WORKSHOPS
» » 150 INSTALLERS HAVE
now experienced first-hand the
secrets of how REAL Aluminium
can accelerate their businesses
after attending a tailored one day
REAL customer workshop. The
workshops have been successful
with many delegates reporting
that their aluminium sales have
trebled since they became a REAL
Aluminium installer.
The REAL Customer Day has
been a popular element of REAL
Aluminium since the brand was
launched last year and Customade
is well on course to attract 100
more installers to one of its sessions
by the end of 2017.
Held at Customade Group’s
headquarters in Stonehouse,
Gloucestershire, the workshops
provide installers with a thorough
understanding of the tools available
to help them leap successfully in to
aluminium and begin selling the
most extensive range aluminium
windows, doors and lantern roofs
available from a single supplier.
The workshops appeal to both
experienced aluminium installers
and PVC-u installers who are new
to aluminium and demonstrate the
simplicity of promoting, quoting,
selling and ordering aluminium
through REAL Aluminium.
As part of their customer
experience, installers visit REAL
Aluminium’s purpose built
72,000 square foot factory which
exclusively manufactures the REAL
range. Customers are also guided
through all the traditional and
digital marketing resources available
to help them increase their number
of sales leads.
REAL Aluminium is designed
to eliminate the common pitfalls
associated with the supply of
aluminium and to make sourcing
aluminium as easy as buying PVC-u.
