Newsletter                  

Hello Again Everyone,

 

Thanks for taking a minute to look through the newsletter. 

 

Sales is the name of the game, so we are going to spend a bit on this topic. Especially  since we are coming up on the holidays soon and most retail businesses make 40-50% of their annual sales during this period.

 

If you have a question or a tip you would like to share, call or  e-mail me.

 

Best regards,

Questions from the field

We love to hear your questions. Actually, we love answering your questions even as much as hearing them! If you have a question that you think would be helpful answered here in our newsletter please give us a call or shoot us an email.

Question:  How do I get in on the holiday selling season?
  
Answer: There are many ways to successfully market the Lifestyle garage screen during the holiday shopping season. The Lifestyle garage screen is a perfect gift for the person who has everything because, being a recently released product, chances are high that most homeowners do not as yet have the Lifestyle garage screen.
(a) It is important to be where the customer is. This is generally in strip malls and shopping centers. Our display booth works perfectly as a kiosk. Shopping centers and strip malls rent kiosk locations during the holidays. Several dealers have been successful at these locations. However, to be successful in such a venue you will also need to (i) be equipped with credit card acceptance devices, (ii) print up and offer gift certificates for the Lifestyle garage screen. Plan early, reserve your kiosk spaces early and prepare your gift certificates ahead of time. Be prepared.
(b) Another place that consumers flock to during the holiday shopping season is online. Amazon and Ebay are perfect venues to offer the Lifestyle garage screen. Determine the territory within which you will install the Lifestyle garage screen and list your offering on Amazon, Ebay and other online shopping venues. Prepare your listing and have it inserted in these shopping sites early.
(c) Offer Holiday Coupons and discounts. Everyone is looking for a deal these days. You can insert a flyer, coupons or offers in each piece of mail that you send out to customers. If you are mailing invoices, bills, statements to customers you can send your offers to these customers at zero additional cost.

Assembled Wheel Brackets  
Installation Tip: Pre-Assembled Wheel Brackets 
Are Coming Soon
Save time and money
 
Lifestyle Screens is constantly seeking ways to simplify the installation process for our dealers. Time is money, the less time you spend on the job the more screens you can install per day.

 

In the Lifestyle Screens hardware box you will soon find the wheel brackets pre-assembled with the rollers, bushings, pushnuts, cable  pins and E-clips all pre-installed. This will not only cut your installation time even further  but it will eliminate the possibility that the wheel brackets are installed incorrectly. With the rollers pre-installed there is only one possible way for each wheel bracket to be affixed to the frame. Additioinally, this reduces the number of loose parts that you have to handle in the installation.

 

As you are also aware, we have developed a patented screen clipping system and clips that cut the time it takes to screen the bays. Our dealers are so pleased with this process that we feel compelled to repeat it here: 
  
  
More Marketing Tips: Preventative Maintenance Keeps the Lifestyle Screen In Tip-Top Operating Order

Garage door companies have recently began offering "tune-ups" on a quarterly basis to homeowners. These programs have been successful in reducing the incidence of major failures because the springs, rollers, hinges and other moving parts are serviced during the tune-up.
   
While Lifestyle Screens' limited warranty provides for replacement of defective parts there is no better way to keep the Lifestyle garage screen functioning at its best than by periodically applying dry silicone to the rollers, pulleys and other moving parts. We encourage our dealers to explain to the customer the need for a tune-up to be done at least quarterly by the customer himself or scheduled with the dealer at the time of installation.
