Selling Roller Blind Accessories…

04/04/2014 by Orion Blinds

When was the last time you sold accessories for Roller Blinds?

As manufactures of custom made Roller Blinds – we are always encouraging our retailers to sell accessories where they can.

Custom Made Roller Blinds are an ideal example of where to make that sale.

Fabrics

Does you customer just want a plain and simple block out fabric for a bathroom? or do they want a fabric that will really enhance the value of their property? Something with real style and grace.

Fixture Options

Can you sell two blinds in one? with new slim line Day Night brackets from Acmeda?

Or does your customer want to link multiple blinds together to cover a wider area?

For that customer who wants to keep the fabric taught – consider wire guides or cassette rollers.

Accessories

Finally – our range of accessories of finishing touches is second to none and includes

– Pulls

– Poles & Finials

– Buttons & Braids

– Corsages, Handles and Flowers

For more information or to see images of all these options click here for our Accessories Galleries.

We are so happy at Orion Blinds with the results of our Annual Customer Survey for 2014 – that we can’t stop smiling about it!

The annual survey was conducted with existing and past Orion Blinds customers in January 2014 and the results were extremely insightful.

There were many highlights, including the fact that 9 out of 10 existing retailers rated the ‘Quality’ of our products as 8 (or above) out of 10 – see pie chart below.

Other points to note include the importance of being an Aussie owned and operated company, manufacturing right here close to its customers.

The survey was conducted in January 2014, with 60 respondents.
