Daisy launches new scissors to give installers the edge!

Custom made for Daisy, the new scissors are well balanced, making handling the scissors easy for pool cover installation.

Note: 316 stainless steel in certain environments can get a discolouring mould appearing on the surface that may look like rust (especially indoors in high chlorine or low air flow). This discolouration is not rust. Rust is a red oxide on the surface that flakes off, whereas the mould can be washed and scrubbed off with a light bleach and non-abrasive kitchen cloth sourer. If stainless steel is scratched, the marks will not affect the performance of the product. Scratches and marks are not covered under the warranty.

Swinging into Summer with Daisy

With a bumper start to August and September, Daisy is swinging into summer production!

Sales are up and the mood of the industry is an overwhelming positive one. With the start we have had so far it looks like we are in for one heck of a busy season. Let’s have some more beautiful days to get everyone outside then we are all at the start of the season.

The Daisy guys have been flat out training staff all over the country and distributing the new point of sale material.

Haven’t been seen yet?

Don’t worry we are still working on it. Contact you Daisy Area Manager to arrange some pre-season training – it will help you sell more! Drop a line to:

Training is a valuable resource the Daisy Area Managers can bring to your store if you have new staff and for the old stalwarts that know the product, Daisy offers a range of training from refreshment through to full product introduction and sales.

The more product knowledge we all have the more we can service and sell.

Expert Tip – Have you arranged your ‘Product of the Month’ for each of the next 6 months?

Having a ‘Product of the Month’ means each month everyone in store that meets or sees a customer talks about that product. Whether it is Daisy pool covers, cleaners, regular cleans or whatever you choose…make one product your hero this month and watch the sales skyrocket!

Daisy Launches Summer of 2016-17 Range

Posted on

Wow what a response to the new range!

Released only a few weeks ago, Daisy’s Summer of 2016-17 new pool cover range has had an overwhelming response on all fronts! It’s the magic formula of keeping the style on trend and continued innovation in the product quality that has proved a winner!

Keeping it simple – three categories! Daisy has simplified the solar pool cover range to three main categories:

The premium 525 range is the most popular choice, with a 10 year pro-rata warranty when purchased from a Daisy Expert retail outlet.

Making it easy – a simplified range! The new pool cover names now correspond to the total material thickness of the pool cover (microns).

What’s changed?

  • 250B: Replacing the old Series 3 (200um) pool cover, the 250B has been upgraded to 250um. The three year pro-rata warranty is maintained.
  • 525: Replacing the old Series 8 (500um) range is the 525um product. Five percent thicker, it gives your customers that premium feel in the product. Added to this is the stylish on trend Titanium range of colours and there is no comparing this product to anything else.

What not changed?

  • The old Series 5 (400um) product remains unchanged, but the name has changed to 400B

What’s gone?

  • The old Series 4 (300um) product has been discontinued.

All Daisy solar pool covers continue to be manufactured using the industry leading UltraDome™ bubble technology with more material in the highest wearing part giving your customers a product that performs and lasts for longer than any other.

New training modules have also been completed. Contact your Daisy Area Manager if you would like to book in store training for yourself or any of your staff.

Let your customers know you supply pool covers

In today’s digital world, the old saying ‘look after your customer or someone else will’ could not be more true!

Today’s consumer is more educated and has more information at their fingertips so as a service orientated industry we must constantly tell them what we do, along with what we can do for them.

A lesson learnt a few years ago was in the drought era, when a customer walks in-store – unless you 100% know that they have a pool cover – you would offer them one. Along with most savvy service people, when they turned up onsite, if there was not a pool cover there they would simply leave a quote for one.

The people that adopted this mentality would sell a whole lot more pool covers and rollers than those that waited for their customers to find out about covers and ask them.

Today we don’t have the same drought but the theory does not change, let you customers know regularly what products and services you have available… you don’t want them ‘finding’ a product you supply elsewhere as this is a fast way to lose a good customer, so keep informing them by word of mouth, emails, SMS or even simply by leaving a quote.

A great way some people achieve this is by having a product of the month, whether it be a Daisy pool cover, a pool cleaner, monthly onsite service or anything else make sure everyone who has any contact with the consumer all offer the product of the month, just a way to keep your customer informed what you do and to open conversations to help you sell more.

Get the lowdown on our pool cover range shake up

With the introduction of Daisy’s new Titanium pool cover range and the huge consumer acceptance for this new cover technology, Daisy has embarked on a product range shake up!

Over the last few months, we have been hard at work making some cool new improvements and changes (that your customers will love) to our pool cover range, including a brand new non-heating cover…

Solar Cover Product Upgrade

S8 Silver Back – Now gone!

S8 Green – Upgraded to Titanium Green (TG+)

S8 Solar Screen – Daisy has unlocked the next generation of non-heating pool covers and is now upgrading this cover to a brand new reflective, non-heating pool cover – Series 8 Titanium Cool (S8 TC)

The unique reflective properties means the new S8TC will reflect the sun’s heat while not absorbing it into the pool cover material, so it transits virtual zero sunlight and heat into the water. 

Why this non-heating technology is better:

  • Total sun block out
  • Evaporation and cooling control
  • Modern colour looking better (and cooler) for longer.

More information on this new product to come! A complete shake up of standard blue pool covers is also imminent so stay tuned. Daisy is aiming to make a product range that is clear and concise to make supplying a Daisy as easy as possible.
