INSTALLERSUPPORT INSTALLER VIDEO SHOWS SIMPLE MEASURES FOR SAFER WORKING » AS PART OF A comprehensive installer support package Freefoam Building Products have released an informative, simple video to illustrate how roofline fitters can carry out work while keeping themselves, colleagues and homeowners safe. Colin St John, Commercial Director explained “Freefoam Registered Installers are an important part of our business. We commissioned this video to support them, so that they can feel confident in working safety whilst continuing to sell and fit Freefoam products.” The video features NG Roofline Windows and Conservatories and shows a series of easy measures that installers can take to ensure a safe working environment when installing fascia, soffit and gutter. Freefoam will be using the video across all social media channels and sharing it with their installer and customer network to maximise exposure of this important message. Louise Sanderson, Marketing Manager explained “We know that safety is critically important at the moment, but at the same time installers want to get their businesses up and running again. We want to support installers. We have kept the message simple and straight-forward so that installers can easily follow the guidance and homeowners can feel secure in having work carried out on their homes.” SUPPORT PACKAGE This video is part of a wider support package that Freefoam are providing to help installers. Being able to promote, explain and sell products whilst staying social distanced is also essential. Freefoam provide a comprehensive range of sales and marketing brochures as pdf files at Freefoam.com for installers to download. Ideal to attach to an emailed quote. Likewise, roofline and cladding visualiser tools are available online to illustrate how colour fascia and soffit might look, or how colour cladding can change the look of a façade.

CEO Chris Brunsdon explains: “Online searches for home improvements have been going through the roof – but installers need to be able to capture and convert these leads to build their pipeline. Many of our subscribers have been busy with remote demos, screen-sharing virtual makeovers on video calls with homeowners and lining up business for later installation. But we wanted to do more – hence the new consumer site, which we’re supporting with PPC ads, SEO and campaigns on social media. “There’s a very real demand from people who are stuck at home, but keen to make the most of their space. That could mean bifold doors to open up a kitchendiner which now doubles up as a workspace, or upgrading windows to more energy efficient and better-looking options. Projects that were put off previously have moved up in priority, as many of us are likely to be working from home more often in the ‘new normal’. With the housing market in freefall, the trend to ‘improve not move’ looks set to stay. “Our new consumer site is capturing these searches and showing homeowners that purchasing windows and doors could be like buying a new kitchen or a car. Photorealistic renders of their new windows and doors, shown in-situ on their home, mean they’re excited and inspired. And they can change styles, colours and materials in minutes, not hours. It means they’re much more likely to buy, so the quality of leads is great.” TommyTrinder.com Ltd launched Framepoint® to help installers sell with a ‘wow’. Designed by installers for installers, it makes it easy to sell all types of windows and doors – regardless of manufacturer and material. With set-up in minutes, the interface is as simple as sketching on a pad. The web-based app makes it easy to display products and see how they look on a house, easy to chop-and-change until the homeowner is happy, and easy to price. It’s also quick and simple to get prices from suppliers, create a professional, branded quote, and create orders – without admin headaches. www.tommytrinder.com 64 » JUL 2020 » CLEARVIEW-UK.COM
