DOORS & WINDOWS
PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS
Start-up package announced
»»
FROM AS LITTLE AS £ 18,000, fabricators can now look to offer The Residence Collection as an additional PVCu system, albeit this is an integrated suite of three window and door systems. There are also considerable added benefits of single length ordering and full factory training in The Residence Academy.
With margins getting ever tighter, particularly for small to medium sized fabricators, the low entry cost and introduction of The Residence Collection can bring in far better net margins as many other trade partners have shown. Market research has also shown that it is in the premium and super premium sectors that are showing the greatest growth and return.
With a modest investment and small production space required, The Residence Collection can be adopted by companies, eager to have great product control and benefit from the additional margins. With full training and set up assistance, along with the unrivalled marketing programme, it’ s a proposition that many existing customers are thriving on.
Sarah Hitchings, sales and marketing director of The Residence Collection
commented:” Our new start up package shows that entry costs are low into the premium and super premium sectors.”
