INSTALLERSUPPORT
BACK ON THE BOX WITH
NEW ORANGERY STYLE
Synseal is featuring on TV with a focussed
advertising campaign promoting the
lifestyle benefits of orangery-style
extensions.
With potential to reach more than 28 million
viewers, the 20-second commercial will be
initially screened on the ITV4 and Home
channels during January and February in time
for the 2014 home improvement season.
The ad, based on happy family scenes filmed
in two large orangery-style conservatories to
show how the welcome additional living space
can be enjoyed both in the daytime and at
night, will encourage viewers to visit the newlook Synseal Homeowner website, which is
specially designed to provide leads to approved
Synseal Registered Installers but, as Mark
Schlotel, Head of Marketing, explained, this
initiative will benefit all Synseal installers:
“This ad presents orangeries and then
clearly projects the Synseal name so it will
give a great boost to brand awareness, and
that is something all our installers can share
– whether they fit conservatories or not. The
adverts will be timed to start just after the
Christmas holiday as people are then thinking
about home improvements for next year, and
the initial 2-month campaign may well be
extended depending on the level of interest it
generates.”

Mentor success for members
When Kent-based AthermEco joined the
industry’s leading standards organisation,
Network VEKA, earlier this year, the
company was relatively new to the window
installation business, despite its 35 years in
the home improvement industry.
With a successful building company that is
already long standing, the double glazing and
conservatory side of the company developed
out of their existing customers’ need, and the
company looked to fellow Network VEKA
member, Weruwise for some tips and advice
on succeeding in the glazing industry.

helping each other out, sharing experiences
and best practice. While we have an
abundance of technical support from Network
VEKA itself and our fabricator, we wanted to
speak to the team at Weruwise – as they are a
well-established Network VEKA installer that
has seen considerable growth in its 30 year
history,” Toni Young, who runs the company
with husband Rob, explains.
“Steve and the team have built a fantastic
business, and prove that by getting the basics
right and focussing on customer service
you can be successful. We are fast learning
about the benefits of being a part of Network
VEKA.”
