WIN MORE DOMESTIC ALUMINIUM BUSINESS
Gloucestershire-based aluminium fabricator Customade has launched extra support to help installers make the most of rising demand for aluminium in the domestic sector .
The latest developments unveiled by the fabricator include a highend retail website and an approved installer network scheme for REAL Aluminium installers . The dedicated retail website - www . real-aluminium . co . uk - will generate high quality leads for installers of Customade ’ s REAL Aluminium range of windows , bi-folding doors , sliding doors , composite doors , French doors , residential doors and roof lanterns . Created to help installers win retail business by inspiring and informing homeowners , the new consumer-driven website highlights the characteristics of aluminium and features the complete range of REAL Aluminium products . The real benefit of the website though , the fabricator says , is the volume of high quality leads it generates for REAL Aluminium installers within their exclusive territory . Claire Miller , Customade group ’ s marketing manager , explains : “ Despite the lure of higher profit margins , many installers have been reluctant to enter the world of aluminium because there were so many obstacles in their way . Long lead times , poor marketing support and a lack of qualified consumer sales leads were the top hurdles . This complete solution helps installers to overcome them and really get off the ground with aluminium .” Customade has just created an exclusive network to enhance the image of REAL Aluminium installers . The REAL Aluminium Installer Network provides members with an approved installer logo and access to residential aluminium installation images to help them create a strong reputation for themselves within the retail sector . Approved installers will also receive exclusive leads via the retail website - www . real-aluminium . co . uk An Installation of the Month competition has also just been launched . Each month , the winning installations will feature on the REAL retail website and they will be widely promoted by social media and trade PR . Help to achieve local press coverage is also provided . Every winner will be entered into the award finals where one overall winner will be chosen as the coveted REAL Aluminium Installer of the Year . Customade has enhanced its showroom and marketing support package with a new brochure . The REAL showroom and marketing support brochure details what ’ s on offer to installers to help them promote themselves to homeowners and create a professional image .
