We Want THE TRUTH

Computers. We're for them. But sometimes they LIE. While it's great to look at colors on your screen to get a general sense of what might be chosen, always use ProVia's real color samples from actual products. Because surprises can be nice, but not when it comes to color.

Check out this fun video that spreads the word on our website:

Serving by Caring 
December 2013
During the holidays we often reflect about what's in our heart and spirit. At ProVia, "to serve by caring" is central to our mission, and this means the focus is always on you: our customers, dealers, partners and friends. We're honored to serve, and are deeply thankful for YOU.

Caring and sharing go together! In this and future newsletters, we'll shine a spotlight on some of YOUR successes in the marketplace.
 
Dealer Spotlight - Pleasantview Home Improvement

The Quality Shines Through 

Recently we talked with Vern Wickey, one of the owners of Pleasantview Home Improvement in Hutchinson, Kansas. Their relationship with ProVia goes back 45 years, when Vern's father and ProVia's Bill Mullet realized they were kindred spirits, with the potential to do great business together. Today Pleasantview carries ProVia's doors, windows and Heritage Stone products, most of which they install themselves.

"Our business philosophy is very similar to ProVia's, so we get along," says Vern.  "The quality of their products is excellent, made even better by their attitude of serving customers. They offer custom made products, they provide us with marketing tools, and they keep us informed by having account reps meet with us once a month."

"Just like us, ProVia stands behind their products, they listen to customers, and they work to find solutions if we have product issues in the field. At Pleasantview, we get lots of our business from repeat/past customers. That's a testament to the quality shining through from us and ProVia."

Affordable Stained Glass Elegance

Inspirations: The Art of Being Special
Choosing home renovation products is both a rational and an emotional process. One thing's for sure, homeowners should feel that special tingle of delight every time they see new products on their home.

 Inspirations in a Minute
Inspirations Art Glass is one great way to help customers add their personal flair to windows, doors, sidelites and patio doors. It has all the drama and customized look of stained glass, but because of ProVia's unique process (combining computerized technology with hand-painted fill colors) it's a surprisingly affordable alternative.

Make Specialness Your Specialty
So next time you're talking with a customer about glass options, take just one minute to show them this video and help them get inspired. They may be thrilled to add this unique option that sets their home apart from the rest.
