SUPPORT FOR YOUR BUSINESS
SUPPORTING YOUR BUSINESS THROUGH TESTING TIMES
When times are difficult, it’s important to react in the best way to protect your business assets. As a glazing supplier, we fully understand how difficult this last year has been. To ensure success, despite all the new difficulties and regulations, here are some tips to help your business not only survive, but thrive during testing times.
Care for your customers and build loyalty
Staying in touch with your customers during the pandemic is essential for your business to continue. If you’re involved in commercial installation projects, keep close contact with main contractors and developers. Lots of building work has continued throughout the year and all commercial building projects will need glazing.
If you’re mainly focused on domestic residential installations, send your past customers an e-mail or even a phone call to find out how they’re doing and whether they require any help with their glazing. As people spend more time at home, requests for home improvements such as new doors and glazed extensions has actually increased. Most glazing projects can be completed with limited contact between installers and customers. Extensions are particularly safe as most of the work will be completed outside.
Strengthen your online presence
Now is a great time to ensure that your online presence is strong. That doesn’t just mean making sure you’ve got a website. You should ensure all your contact details are correct, refresh it with new installation images, and update product information if you’ve added to your portfolio.
There are lots of places online that potential customers will look for glazing installers. Google My Business, Facebook, and Instagram are some additional channels, which are free, and can be used to ensure that your business is easy to find online.
In 2021 we’re going to be using our expertise and supporting Alex Trade Frames customers further on how best to market your glazing business. Look out for more information on this soon!
