Happy Holidays to All!
I hope this newsletter is finding everybody prepped and ready for the holidays. I know for me the holidays came up quick and again have caught me totally unprepared. Very typical of me at this time of year, just ask my wife.
In this week's newsletter we will be bringing you up to speed with a new product variation as well as a nifty way to show the Lifestyle Screens in space challenged showrooms and those without showrooms. You will also find good to know installation tips as well as marketing ideas. As an added bonus we would like to introduce to you a great publication for our industry, Garage Style Magazine.
Enjoy the newsletter, and we here at Advanced Screenworks would like to wish everybody and their families a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year!
Warm Regards,
Brian Jones

Coming Soon! Lifestyle Screens
Center Door Delete Option
Available by end of first quarter, 2013. Again, this is one of those, "you asked for it, you got it" moments. Available by the end of the first quarter of 2013, the Lifestyle garage screen system will be available without the center retractable passage door. The door delete kit will feature center verticals with dual spline grooves and the appropriate screen material to fill the void. This will allow homeowners with garages having multiple openings to delete the passage door from their Lifestyle unit if they so choose and save a little money. I should also add that beginning at the same time all Lifestyle Screen kits will come with the center verticals featuring dual spline grooves. Your installer will no longer need to ponder over which side the spline groove on the center verticals should be placed, with these new center verticals any way will work... just set them and go! Just another way we here at Advanced Screenworks are working to simplify the installation process for you! |
Lifestyle Display (Miniature working model) For space challenged showrooms and mobile sales Advanced Screenworks is pleased to release the Lifestyle Screens miniature display unit. The display is made using the same materials found in the full size units including a fully functioning retractable passage door. The miniature display measures 6' wide and 3'4" tall and features all three screen materials currently available. It hangs beautifully on a wall or can be used as a mobile "show and sell" display. The Lifestyle Screen miniature display is ready for immediate shipping. Please call your Lifestyle Screens sales representative at 678-926-9700 for pricing. |
Installation Tips and Tricks
Updated Spring Stretch Chart
Below, you will find the new updated spring stretch recommendations for Lifestyle Screens. Keep in mind, these are starting points. Adjustments should be made in small, equal increments. This spring stretch chart can be found in the installation manual as well as on the dealer page of the Lifestyle Screens website.
Typically, when the screen is pulled free from the magnetic catches and given a slight nudge, the bottom of the Lifestyle should rise on its own to between your waist and your chest. This is recommended. If it does not rise to this height on its own, you may need to increase your pre-stretch.
One more thing to note, the further the Lifestyle frame travels up the vertical track on its own, the more effort it will it will require to put it into the down position.

Marketing Corner
Consumer Follow Up After a Show The big question, how to stay connected with consumers who have shown genuine interest at a show or event? Well, here is one suggestion that may just work for you. Often home shows are held at a time of year that may not be conducive to screen sales because of the season. The customer falls in love with the Lifestyle, grabs a brochure and promises to call in the spring. Will and Shirley Beback go on their way and well, life happens. Winter turns to Spring and you never hear from them. More often than not they have simply forgotten about this amazing new garage screen and just how much they would enjoy a new Lifestyle Screen. Perhaps an inexpensive giveaway to present to these type of customers would be a refrigerator magnet with a calendar with your company and Lifestyle Screens on it. This way everyday during the winter and into spring Will and Shirley stay reminded of that great new product that they saw last winter at the home show! Refrigerator magnetic calendars are available from a host of vendors online. |
