2020 Dealer Awards

Congratulations to our Winners! 2020 was full of challenges that the entire world had to overcome together. Businesses were impacted in ways they would never suspect.

So, without further ado, let’s meet our 2020 LivingSpace award winners!

Enhance Your Local Sales by Building Trust Within the Community

ENHANCE YOUR LOCAL SALES BY BUILDING TRUST WITHIN THE COMMUNITY Whether you are doing business in a busy metropolis or a suburban region, chances are that there are several remodeling companies that are all vying for the business of local residents. So, how can you stand out from the crowd without pushy sales tactics and breaking your marketing budget? The key to a quality contractor-consumer relationship is trust, and building that trust starts with grassroots efforts within your community. Homeowners looking for a remodeling contractor want to feel confident knowing that the company they choose isn’t all about the profit. Instead, they want to work with a team that is connected to the needs of local residents and takes part in establishing themselves as a positive force within the community. Taking your marketing tactics back to basics and building up trust with potential clients is easier than you may think, and the following tips can get you started in boosting local sales while also making an impact on the community as a whole: 1. Jump In and Give Back If you really want to do some good within the local area and make a good impression on customers, charity work is a great place to start. Sponsor a local little league team, attend community outreach events as a company, or take part in volunteer work that makes your community a better place. Not only will this add to the overall morale of your employees, it will also get you noticed when you’re regularly showing up to help out while wearing your company shirts and uniforms. 2. Take Initiative to Think Outside the Box If you are doing business in a quiet area that doesn’t have a lot of big-name charity events happening, why not start one of your own? Brainstorm…

Packaging a Product for Greater Customer Satisfaction

You know that feeling of excitement and value that you get when you buy an expensive product that is beautifully packaged? The consumer experience is more than just the actual product you receive, it is, quite literally, the experience you have in relation to the product. Whether it is high-end packaging, a handwritten note of thanks, or any other small detail that makes you feel special when making a major purchase, the simplest things can make a lasting impact in your overall satisfaction as a customer. So, how does this translate to the home remodeling industry? Although you aren’t just packaging a product and sending it off to the end consumer, there is still the connection of your customers making an investment in something that is important in their lives. And it pays to present your services in the best way possible to personalize their experience! You want your customers to feel like they made a wise choice in choosing your company as their home remodeler, and there are a few simple things that you can do along the way to support the emotional experience of investing in home renovations: 1. Polish Your Home Presentation Companies within the home service industry can have a reputation for pushy sales tactics and convoluted estimates, so it’s important to let your customers know from the start that you’re not like the “other guys”. Train your sales reps in providing low-key, efficient home consultations that focus on the needs of the specific homeowner—without the pressure! By truly listening to their concerns and ideas, you will get a better understanding of how to personalize the rest of the process for them. 2.
