20 DECEMBER 2016 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk Another win for agency A smart systems fabricator has become the latest fenestration firm to appoint Purplex, the full-service marketing agency for the construction industry. Fenster Fabrications, celebrating its tenth year in business, supplies an extensive range of aluminium windows and doors to trade clients throughout the south of England, developing a reputation for quality, reliability, and exceptional customer service. The company is the exclusive manufacturer of Uni Slide, an ultra slim aluminium sliding door. Purplex is now deploying a range of marketing services designed to build Fenster’s brand, boost sales and position the firm Tony Drake, managing director of Fenster Fabrications (left), and Sam Cross, account director of Purplex (right). as an innovative, forward-thinking aluminium fabricator. “I’ve been sceptical about marketing in the past but I’ve been hugely impressed with the way Purplex has helped other companies in the industry achieve massive growth,” commented Fenster managing director Tony Drake. “It’s still early days, but Purplex has already started to make headway in building awareness of Fenster and Uni_Slide – and I’m confident that we can go on to achieve much more in the months and years ahead.” For more information contact Purplex on 01934 808132, or visit www.purplexmarketing.com/ FLEXIBLE MARKETING ATTRACTS INSTALLERS The VEKA UK Group has added an A5 leaflet that can be completely customised to its Approved Installer Scheme’s online marketing hub. Fabricator invests in factory extension The network of patio door manufacturers and suppliers, PatioMaster, has announced its latest dealer ADM Window - which will trade as PatioMaster South Yorkshire. The Sheffield-based fabricator was appointed as a PatioMaster dealer in October. Director Aaron Fountain said: “ADM has long since had a background of working on niche products, so when the opportunity came up to join the PatioMaster network, it was an easy decision for us to add one of Epwin’s niche products to our range. “We had been looking to add PatioMaster doors to our portfolio for some time. They stand out by far as the best in the market place, and our offering couldn’t be complete without it. It is an established product, which delivers many installation efficiencies, making it popular with installers and homeowners alike. “With a team of ten people work- ing on the PatioMaster side of the business, we have also invested in a new factory extension and machinery to allow us to offer the whole PatioMaster range in all colours. With a five-day lead time turnaround and the capacity to supply 50 doors a week to start with, ADM is looking forward to being a part of the PatioMaster family, and representing such an established brand.” www.patiomaster.co.uk The hub’s professionally designed promotional materials have been among the Approved Installer Scheme’s most popular benefits since the initiative premiered, with more than 650 installers and fabricators joining since its launch. Amy Grundy, national sales manager for the Approved Installer Scheme commented: “Installers love the Marketing Hub as it offers a means of presenting themselves in a truly professional style, with the kudos that the VEKA and Halo logos bring. “The professional designs have been paid for, so the only costs are production and postage – a fraction of commissioning brochures, leaflets, display stands and vehicle graphics from scratch. “All of the items on offer already have some fields that installers can populate with their own logos, contact details, and even elements of text. This leaflet however, represents the first time that businesses have ‘carte blanche’ – so promotions don’t have to be discount-led and images can be changed as desired.” www.vekauk.com/approvedinstaller
