Offering the latest design is good for business

I read in the Telegraph recently if you want to save a bundle buy last year’s model. It gave the example of saving £80 if you buy last year’s iPhone. But actually many of us want the latest thing, we like to be first with a new gadget, we want to be a bit different or to show off something no one else has.

Kitchens are a good example of this with the latest oven technology or the trend for a sleek Corian worktop. And getting this year’s oven design or a worktop featured on Houzz website will cost a little bit more, but so what? It’s worth it in bragging rights alone!

Of course the flip side to this is if you’re selling last year’s model or trend you have to expect to charge less for it. We’re seeing this with large span doors. When bi-folding doors hit the market they offered a world of opportunities to transform living areas and open up our traditional rooms with something new. Now the market has matured, bi-folds are becoming the norm and there’s lots more competition about.

To keep profit up companies have to keep ahead of the competition. Taking a leaf from the kitchen market and offering the latest design options means customers are attracted to what we’re selling and much less focused on saving a few quid from a competitor selling last year’s model.

Satisfying your customer’s desire for something new and different is much easier with Everglade. We’re way ahead of the curve with exciting lift and slide aluminium doors and the very latest in bi-fold doors with flush-to-floor tracks, beautiful colour finishes and. Take a look at how we can keep you ahead and more profitable in bi-fold and sliding doors with these ideas below.
