Pool covers that will make it onto your customer’s wish list

Posted on

The latest S8+ Titanium covers will woo anyone this summer!

With pool technology rapidly improving, pool cover aesthetics have also come a long way. It’s time to throw away any stigma attached to using outdated – has-been – pool covers and get with the times.

Daisy’s latest UltraDome+™ Titanium pool covers may just woo your customers and make their way onto their wish list this summer season! The S8+ Titanium range offers a modern and sophisticated design to complement latest pool landscapes and fittings and its many additional benefits make it much easier to sell to your customers. Are you familiar with these benefits?

 

The UltraDome+ Titanium range – S8+TB and S8+TG

The new UltraDome+ Titanium range not only utilises the UltraDome bubble technology, it has been designed and tested to let the maximum amount of the sun’s energy through and less out.

A winning layer combination

The sun’s energy needs to be able to pass easily through the transparent material to enter the water. The less energy being used to pass through, the more energy there is available to warm the water. The UltraDome+ clear top and translucent bottom is a winning layer combination as both layers allow maximum sun energy to pass through without interruption.

How does the UltraDome+ Titanium range compare with other covers on the market?

In the name of innovation

Check out our new product upgrades:

S8 SB Silver Back: As this range is fast becoming obsolete it will be discontinued within the next month due to huge demand for the latest UltraDome+ Titanium range.

S8 SS Solar Screen: With the UltraDome+ Titanium technology, Daisy is currently designing and testing a product upgrade of this solar screen range.

Advances with the new non-heating technology are:

  • a new non-heating opaque material
  • with evaporation and a unique cooling control
  • a new desirable appearance for the warmer climates; or for Aussies who just want to keep their pool cooler, or even to have a better external heating control over the pool temperature.

This S8 SS Solar Screen product upgrade should be available to your customers by the New Year. Stay tuned for more details; or feel free to catch up with your Daisy Area Manager for updates.

New Dig Template sales tool for you!

Take risk out of the equation for your new pool owners

Fibreglass pool installers find our Daisy Dig Templates useful in helping to accurately set out the pool location and mark out the dig on fibreglass pools.

Dig Templates are traditionally black in colour and made out of durable polyethylene (PE) material. As black is sometimes difficult to visualise as pool water, we’ve developed something new!

Sales Templates are now available in translucent blue PE material. The improved colour has been designed to make it easier for new pool owners to visualise the pool installed in their backyard. With the data collected from the pool shell we can make the templates the perfect sales tool while measuring up at a potential customer’s yard. They can even be used as the dig template to pre-cut to the pool’s exact shape.

Why Sales Templates are perfect for new pool owners?

  1. Visually inspiring translucent blue colour
  2. Takes the risk out of the process
  3. A perfect size and shape is guaranteed, saving time and costs.

Sales Templates are used to position the pool in the yard to get the sizing and positioning just right for your customer. It saves time and second guessing especially as mum will be able to see the pool from the lounge room window, and dad can also get a concept of where the fencing will need to go. The new translucent blue colour will help your customer visualise and make a speedier decision!

It’s in the detail

We take care of the little things…

It’s the little things that make Daisy… Daisy. We’re passionate about what we do and don’t believe in a set and forget attitude. We’re constantly listening to you and actively evaluating the products we make and supply to ensure you and your customers are getting the very best quality product.

When we hear or see an opportunity to improve, we act on it! This is one of the many reasons that we can proudly stand behind the products we supply and give you the very best service.

With the launch of the new Series 8 UltraDome+ Titanium range it is probably worth looking back over the last year or so and share some of the finer improvements we have made that you may not have even noticed that keep Daisy industry leading and Australia’s favourite pool covers and rollers.

Little improvements we’ve made:

  • WinterKleen Cord and Fittings: Upgraded cord to 8 plat PP Australian made cord. We used to use a nylon ski rope that we found could slip through the fitting clamp so we sourced a better quality Aussie product that does not slip and is easier on your hand to use.

WinterKleen Cord and Fittings

  • WinterKleen Thread: We have ensured all WinterKleen thread used in our sewing machine utilises a special Teflon thread. This is hugely expensive however we know the thread will not fail. Thread failure was a problem with WinterKleens as they sit in or very close to the water and once the thread fails, the cover comes apart.
  • Pool Cover Master-Batch Compound: Upgraded the pool cover master-batch compound to make it slightly more pliable.
  • UTC Roller Tubes: All UTC roller tubes are now anodised. The anodising protects the tubes making them look nicer for longer and don’t discolour.
  • UTC Tube Sets: All UTC tuber sets now come with stainless steel self-drilling screws. To make installation quicker and easier no longer do you have to drill then drive in a screw, all UTC rollers are now standard with self-drilling screws.
  • Roller Range End Slugs: The entire roller range has been updated with solid end slugs with retaining bolt and washers. We have upgraded the end slugs from the hollow style with an internal retaining cap that could (over time) walk out, and from time to time during transportation could get damaged; to a solid shaft that has a thread in the end, that a 8mm stainless bolt and retaining washer can be securely fastened to.

Daisy Axle Holder

  • Over-Cover Material Now Australian Made. Daisy has been able to negotiate with an Australian manufacturer to make our over-cover material base stock, giving you and your customers a locally made top quality product. All 5 star over-covers are pre-made to the roller tube size.
  • 5 Star Roller Tubes Pre-Assembles Fixed Length Tube. This is nothing new but is so special giving you a fixed length roller tube that is totally pre-assembled making it a stronger, better roller tube not to mention installation is almost too quick and easy.
  • All Roller-Cover Connection Cords Australian Made. Once again nothing new here, but these are such good quality we know you won’t have a problem because we have been using these for over 30 years now.
  • Pre-Cut Measure and Remeasure. Constant pre-cut measure and remeasure of pool shells to make sure data is as accurate as possible. 

If you have any questions or feedback on any of these products improvements please get in touch with us directly or contact your Daisy Area Manager anytime. We’re here to help you.

A new one-of-a-kind pool cover soon to be released

As you know all Daisy quality pool covers use the trademarked UltraDome™ technology. Exclusive to Daisy, this world-leading bubble technology is what makes a Daisy pool cover insulate and last longer than any other.

Daisy UltraDome™ (the best type of pool cover in the world) is about to receive a face lift.

With the latest technology and innovation we have made the next biggest advancement in pool covers since… well, since UltraDomeTM.

We want you to feel good about selling the best type of pool cover technology available in the market.

Stay tuned – we will keep you informed as details emerge. In the meantime you can read more about our trademarked UltraDome™ technology here.

No longer is it a level playing field…

Posted on

We’re now extending value on dealing with pool shops as a service provider, and installer!

By changing the playing field, price objection for customers is lost… no longer are we talking about: “I want a cheap pool cover”. If you have a ‘price only’ conscious buyer who wants a product at the lowest price regardless, then you are never going to convert them. Much the same way in that we will not get the mass merchant customer. This is not the market where anyone can survive… as no one wins a race to – rock-bottom.

Pool shops and technicians are a specialist business that offers quality advice and support along with full service. If an end user confronts you with an internet price then we can reply with: “Yes, but with us you receive the 10 year extended warranty”, so no longer is it a level playing field.

Price is price however we need not match an internet price as we are now extending value on dealing with the good old bricks and mortar pool shop as a service provider and an installer, so even if it is the same product… it’s a different price and different end service.

We should not price match the internet with or without a different product, be aware of what you are trying to compete with and up sell a product with extra value…

The Daisy Warranty is without doubt the best in our industry. We actually deliver – with care.

Not only are we now making it easier for your customers to keep track of their purchase from you by giving them the ability to register their purchase online at daisypoolcovers.com.au – our warranties now go for up to 10 years! This means that if they ever have a problem, they can send an enquiry via our website or just call us. We’ll have all their details on record. You’re welcome to do so too!

Did we say 10 years! As of 1st July, we extended the Series 8 pool cover pro-rata warranty from eight to 10 years – but only if they get you, our Expert installer to install it for them, that’s you!. That’s an incentive you can sell to them.

Have you received our letter explaining this extended warranty? If not, just email [email protected] and we will send a copy to you.

Are you ready to get social?

With your customers of course!

We mean creating greater reach and online engagement with your customers which will lead to more direct sales for you, and for Daisy. With the huge success of the 2014/ 15 Daisy #bestsplashchallenge, we have another exciting new summer campaign on its way…

We have designed a cool and interactive 2015/ 16 summer campaign designed to interact with our customers and to help push them right into your shop so you can be social.

With great prizes and numerous tangible reasons to deal with you, we are looking forward to a truly amazing Aussie summer season… Watch this space…

Remember how we did last summer? The #bestsplashchallenge did well. We built an engaged audience around fun in the backyard pool, encouraging and doing what we all do… jump in and make a splash! You were involved and your support was excellent; many happy with us promoting their shop to their customers through a non-standard promotional medium.

The number of entrants over the three-month campaign exceeded our expectations, the exposure of the challenge to consumers was also beyond our expectations, and the interaction with our consumers was absolutely fantastic.

View here for a snapshot of our achievements last summer.
