Finance revolution helping to fuel burgeoning bi-fold ‘boom’
Posted on 19/03/2018
WITH bi-folding doors as popular as ever with the nation’s homeowners, a new finance initiative is making it even easier for installers to sell this premium product.
Improveasy is the industry’s leading provider of finance packages and its Managing Director Austin Barcley says that he has seen a huge increase in the number of installers using their products to finance bi-folding door purchases.
He explains: “A bi-folding door is an aspirational investment but typically cost around £6,000, which for many is a substantial amount to pay up-front.
“Thanks to our finance options Mr & Mrs Jones can now pay an affordable monthly fee and benefit from having this transformational product in their home.”
Austin says that he has also seen a shift in the conversation around finance for windows and doors.
He explains: “It has long been a widespread practice for people to pay for phones and cars with finance but not some home improvements. This is changing now, and it represents a fantastic opportunity for installers to win more profitable new business; and, cross-sell and upsell better with part-finance options.
“Offering finance to your customers can also increase order values as property owners will have the option to spend more on their dream product; rather than settling for their least favourite option.”
Improveasy’s finance package means that homeowners can have their doors installed immediately and pay just £55 a month for them, rather than being resigned to save for potentially years at a time.
By offering customers financial solutions packages, installers also help them to feel supported in their decision and increase the chances of their customers returning to them in the future.
Improveasy don’t just offer finance solutions too. Companies that partner with them can also access sales training seminars, alongside a host of innovative finance options.
Furthermore, before signing up with Improveasy, companies or installers do not need to be FCA regulated. Once registered with Improveasy, installers become an Appointed Representative (AR) and can then begin offering finance options under either the Improveasy brand or their own company’s brand.
