UPDATED CONSUMER BROCHURES FOR EVERY RESIDENCE
» THE CONSUMER BROCHURES FOR THE RESIDENCE Collection , which includes R2 , R7 , R9 and RD ( Residence Doors ), have all been recently updated with their renowned style , content and vision . This helps make them the standout retail publications in the window and door sector .
As one of the most highly regarded brands in the industry from a marketing perspective , sumptuous and detailed new photography feature throughout the new brochures , helping to inspire style savvy consumers with a better window and door proposition .
As much as R9 has defined the true timber casement alternative , R2 is now starting to inspire consumers and specifiers looking for the ultimate contemporary window and one that boasts bold and square architectural lines throughout . These are featured in the new 28-page brochure , along with new case studies and a wide range of unique finishes , including several dual-colour options .
The commercial success of R7 has been significant over the last 18 months , given the fact that it ’ s a window and door platform of 75mm and aimed at the middle market , yet sharing the same architectural lines from the outside as R2 and R9 . The 24-page brochure is intended to inspire the masses , where the product philosophy and design options are explained with unique photography throughout .
R9 needs no introduction , but the 36-page brochure is designed with the consumer , building specifier and even local authority planner in mind , with Conservation Area details contained within and the design criteria for the ultimate true timber alternative platform carefully presented . Throughout all three brochures are details on RD , the Residence Doors brand , which now benefits from a dedicated 16-page brochure of exceptional engineered residential , open-in and open-out double doors .
Sarah Hitchings , sales and marketing director for The Residence Collection enthused : “ We ’ ve always been proud of our consumer-facing marketing and the latest incarnations of our brochures continue to inspire homeowners across the UK . Powerful and persuasive marketing has not only helped build our business , but those of our manufacturing and installation partners over the years and we ’ re now investing in the brand more than ever before .”
