Would You Like Fries With That?

Posted on

You know when you order fast food and the attendant asks “would you like fries with that?” This also applies to the pool industry. Asking if your customer would like a refit kit or an over cover is just like that!

Add-on sales not only help you sell more, it can also save you and your customers time, giving better service and increase the life of their covers and make life easier.

Installation made easy

A refit kit is a great add-on sale because there’s a clear benefit for customers. It saves time and makes life easier (for everyone!), making the installation of a new pool cover to a roller a breeze. The kit has everything you or your customer needs. Keep a few in stock so you can make it even easier to sell or order at any time – Daisy Part Number #092.

What about the white over cover?

While we are talking about covers to existing rollers, how is the white over cover looking? Cover connection kits (and over covers) are supplied with every new roller, but it may be time for the over cover to be replaced.

  • Is there an over cover being used at all?
  • Does the customer know how to use it?
  • Has the white over cover simply come to the end of its life?

Here’s how you will know (if it’s come to the end of its life). Simply hold the over cover up to the sun. Can you see through the over cover where it gets folded? If you can, it means that the sun can get through and damage the pool cover. It’s time for a replacement! Order the right size by measuring the tube length of the roller.

The white over cover will help your customers get longer life from their pool cover. Want to hear more – feel free to ask us.

We love to showcase all the different installations to show the diversity of Daisy and in turn, provide inspiration to help you sell more.

From super thin lap pools, weird shaped pools, bridges built over pools, two covers and rollers on one pool, intricately designed pools, along with beautiful locations and more… share your installs and inspire!

What’s Trending in Backyards

Posted on

When style meets innovation

Gone are the days where pool covers and rollers only came in one colour and style option, and too bad if they didn’t suit your backyard!

For over 30 years, Daisy Pool Covers and Rollers have led the industry by constantly innovating with new, on-trend products that fit the bill for Aussie backyards.

With a focus on design and style, we’ve come a long way from the standard white roller and blue pool covers. Aussie families don’t have to compromise their stylish backyards if they want a pool cover or roller.  Today, Daisy has so many options in colour, style, and shape – you can essentially customise your roller and cover to your own back yard!

For example, Daisy’s recently released hot new stainless steel 316ST Rollers are designed to complement the modern pool setting of any backyard. Then of course there is the newly released Daisy Under Bench Roller. It is practical with its multiple uses – a seat and a roller – adding style poolside and is available in three modern colours in aluminium, wood-look finishes. Combined with a titanium blue or green pool cover and well, we’ve got style!

Daisy is constantly reinventing the wheel and looking at new styles and trends that will transform your backyard, lifestyle and the way your entertain.  Explore our website and keep coming back for something new – we love our Daisy but we’re biased!

Buying and Selling a Daisy Pool Cover Should be Easy!

Posted on

Quote & Close = Selling More!

When a customer asks “how much will a pool cover cost”, what they really mean is “can I talk to you about a pool cover for my pool?”

Rather than jump into attempting to quote and then trying to close the sale just on price, here are some suggestions:

1. ASK QUESTIONS

Ask them what they want from a pool cover? Is it to save water (evaporation control), keep their pool clean or to warm the water? By asking these questions, you’re establishing yourself as a Daisy Expert. As soon as they reply, you’re engaging them in a dialogue and starting to build a trusted relationship.

2. BE THE EXPERT

Start providing some advice – use all the tools we have on the Daisy website in our FAQs and more! If you need any training, just let us know – we’re here to help.

3. START THE QUOTE

Pricing up a quote is as simple as multiplying the square meters of the pool by the pool cover m2 price.

Daisy has made quoting pool covers easy. Every pool cover has a square meter price.

a). Simply measure the length and width of the pool. Then multiply together to get the square meters (length x width = m2)

Example:

8.2m long pool by 3.9m wide. The cover they want is the 525 Blue at $17.50 / m2.

(8.2 x 3.9 = 31.98m2 x $17.50 = $559.65)

b). Step area? If the pool has steps, here’s another opportunity to show your expertise. Here are some tips and FAQs on how to measure step areas.

Mobile? We all have a mobile device that can access the internet. Simply log into the Daisy website to get the latest retail pricing using the quote calculator.

Pop in the pool measurements, select what you want and the tool will calculate the recommended retail price immediately.

4. ASK FOR THE SALE

Don’t forget this! Once you have done all the hard work and designed the solution and price for the customer, ask for the sale!

Some simple questions:

  • What colour do you want? Is it the 525B or Titanium Blue you wanted?
  • Do you want to install this yourself or would you like me to do it?
  • Would you like me to place the order for the cover and roller now?

Oh and add on if you can – what sort of décor is your backyard? Is it modern or contemporary? If modern, why not sell them a 316ST stainless steel roller or compact, why not a UBR which is a great dual purpose product!

The close: A customer is just as busy as you are. The more you can make it easy for them, the easier it will be to close the sale.

Remember, don’t let them walk out the door saying that they’ll get back to you. If they do, try and get their contact details and follow up!

If you need help with a tricky quote or would like further training on measure, install or sales contact your local Daisy Area Manager or email us.

Summer 2017 in full swing!

Posted on

The exceptional uptake of the new Under Bench Roller has been astounding and looking great for 2017 with each UBR custom made to fit each pool’s size and shape.

It’s been a challenge but our amazing team have made sure that UBR deliveries will be maintained to plan in line with our pool cover production which is already in full summer production.

Timing

Orders are showing no signs of slowing down and we have moved extra resources into place so supply will not be interrupted. Whilst the UBR may be a week or two of slow delivery nearing the end of October or early November, we are aiming to keep any disruptions in supply to an absolute minimum. With the ramp up of production, we expect the flow to be consistent from November onwards.

Our commitment to our retailers and our end customer is unwavering and we have production in place to maintain our high level of service and supply for of all Daisy products.

WinterKleen Proving to be a Year Round Clean!

Posted on

We may have to look at changing the name of the WinterKleen because a WinterKleen is loved by any pool owner that has a leaf or any other debris problem – year round!

EasyKleen!

Pool owners will love you forever – regardless of season – when you show them what the WinterKleen can do for them … all year round! It saves hours of time over any season by keeping their pool clean. Effortlessly!

Removing the WinterKleen even if it is full of leaves is a piece of cake compared to trying to spend so many laborious hours cleaning the pool.

SpringKleen!

Since we extended the colour range to Blue, Green or Black, we have seen a steady increase in sales to the point where we have had to increase our production and resources to accommodate. Now well into spring, we are prepared for the steady growth in orders that will continue year – round for this popular product.

PerfectKleen!

Before each WinterKleen is put into production we take extra special care and steps to make sure we get it right the first time.

A plan is drawn up on a special program to make sure we get the dimensions and shape right. We then email our retailers the plan with an authority to sign off (once again making sure that you and the pool owner agree with the size and shape before we make it). Once the plan has been signed off and returned, the Daisy sewing department springs into action to create their magic.

SqueakyKleen!

The Daisy sewing department does it all! They edge the covers, take care of wind skirting and make every WinterKleen to measure including any special modifications that we need to do for you. Believe me…they are kept very busy and they love it!
