For those of you that have missed it, there has been an interesting debate going on in the ACSP Facebook group.
Wendy Scott – ACSP President, bet Eric Marshall – President Elect, that valet rods were most popular closet accessory. Eric argued the tilt out hamper.
Coming from a profitability standpoint, if you have the room it makes the most sense to include at least one hamper in every closet you design. Besides selling a more expensive accessory, you are also adding a door.
If you are looking at ease of installation, and an accessory that fits in every closet – valet rod is the clear winner.
I created a TiK ToK video and posted it on Instagram and Facebook.
In case you missed it – let me know what you think.
It came right down to the wire.
Valet rods took an early lead and I think that Eric might have stuffed the ballot but ultimately hampers ended up the winner!
I think that you should be offering both accessories as often as possible.
Increasing your average sale is the easiest way to be more profitable.
Also a quick FYI –
The ACSP has start doing Zoom Topic Tuesdays. It’s basically a virtual round table giving everyone an opportunity to network in place and share ideas.
- The first one was “Home Offices from Design to Install”
- This week we discussed “What Are YOU Doing Today That Will Help YOU Succeed Tomorrow”
Next week is all about marketing. “What’s working, what’s not.” Attendees will share some of their best tips. Here’s a link to the Facebook invite.
Also, I just want to remind everyone that I am still scheduling virtual sales meetings with design teams, if I can help you keep your designers engaged please let me know.
Stay safe and I look forward to “Zooming” with you soon.
