44 NOVEMBER 2014 PRO INSTALLER PRO BUSINESS www.proinstaller.co.uk 7 reasons to choose Seven Day windows Seven Day Windows, part of MASCO UK Window Group, is the nationwide depot network with a local presence. Sales Director, Kevin Cornwall, explains why they’re the first choice for installers. From the first depot in Newport, South Wales in 1995, the Seven Day network has grown in an evolving and fast-developing marketplace with a business approach that continues to prove itself. It has found its niche and here are the seven reasons why: 1. Our people At every branch, there is at least one guy who has probably been a fabricator, an installer or an installation manager. So, our people understand everything relating to what is needed to order and provide product to a valued customer. Seven Day Windows has dedicated support from the Duraflex team of experts to enhance the Seven Day offering and ensure that customers are updated with all the latest product news, technical bulletins, building regulations and accreditations. 2. Depot services A valuable benefit for customers is the free-to-use skip at each depot that can save customers up to £7,000k a year. Some branches offer assisted surveys, which can save on remake costs, free safe and secure storage for onward delivery of orders. Each of the branches runs one or two vehicles for site deliveries, to deliver completely in-line with customers needs. and wet day and ‘chew the fat’ with people who understand the local pressures and local competition. Our locally-based branches are convenient for collections and invariably stock the items customers need to finish a job and get paid. 4. Marketing expertise Marketing support is available for all our customers, whether they are an installer, a builder or a window company. Various packages include; consumer brochures, website design, drop cards, flyers and lead generation activity, plus maintenance and operation guides for the end-users. 3. Local presence Face-to-face service, in my view, cannot be underestimated and is so much easier than dealing with a call centre over the phone. It’s nice to be able to drop in on a cold 5.
