Why register a warranty?

Because it’s easier… for everyone!

With this fast paced tech age of login names and passwords, the last thing any of us want is for our customers to have to dig through an old file of old receipts for them to find out when they bought something from us. We all can get quite a surprise when we think we’ve only had a product we’ve been using for a few years, only to find out we’ve had it for a looooong time.

To make it easier for us all, Daisy has devised and developed a simple way for our customers to register their Daisy warranty online on our website which allows us to be the custodian of their important warranty information.

With a simple email or phone call from you or your customer (if their warranty has been registered) we can easily locate the customer and their details with the proof of purchase and the pool size. It’s that easy!

Check out the Register Your Warranty page on our website so you can familiarise yourself with the innovative technology Daisy is constantly developing to help you. Tell your customers to register their warranty now!

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.

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.

Pre-cut pool covers guarantee your customers a 100% perfect fit

Posted on

Watch this video on how pre-cut pool covers are cut.

What can you see in the video? 

Firstly, a dig template  being cut out of single width heavy duty 200um builders plastic. These are normally for the water line and the coping however your customers can request any size. Dig templates work to get the exact pool location both at time of sale and digging the pool.

Next, you’ll see a ThermoTech foam spa pre-cut cover being cut out perfectly round. Then finally, you’ll see a solar pool pre-cut cover being cut out. Using the data we have, we can manipulate the pool size to supply a pool cover waterline or with a variance of different length upturns.

A 100% perfect fit using precision technology.

Daisy has been collecting valuable customer data on fibreglass and pre-manufactured pool shapes for nearly a decade. This extensive data archive combined with using our precision CAD technology allow us to supply quality pre-cut pool covers to perfectly fit a new pool installation, regardless of unique shape and size requirements.

Whether it is a pool cover to fit waterline, up the side of the pool or with a variance of different length upturns; we can easily manipulate data to suit your customer requirements with 100% accuracy.

Our CAD technology shows the actual cutting format to help us manipulate the data like in the screenshots below.

Pre-cut covers save time in double handling. Not to mention that they give a perfect fit. The installer can install the cover onto the roller right after the pool is installed, even when there is no water in the pool! They don’t take us long to dispatch either.

In the time you’ve made yourself a cup of coffee, we’ve already cut, rolled and packaged up your customer’s pre-cut cover ready to be dispatched and sent from our warehouse. Get your customer to order a pre-cut cover today!

Saving time and guaranteeing a perfect fit using ‘dig templates’

Posted on

Q. Why do fiberglass pool installers love dig templates?

A. Because it saves them time and it guarantees a perfect fit cost effectively!

A pool template can easily be laid out letting your customer visualise it in their very own backyard – a great advantage as they can see exactly where the pool will be even before they dig the hole! It confirms the location and pool positioning making it easy for the customer to approve it.

Making it easy for you. Daisy uses the same electronic 3D measuring point plotting and cutting method as used in our pre-cut technology to cut dig templates, which are cut-outs of the exact pool shape made out of special width builders plastic.

Your customer’s new pool template is laid out in their backyard, correctly placed as the outside is marked with marking paint. Once everyone is happy, digging begins!

This degree of accuracy and precision used in measuring and collecting the data guarantees a perfect fit for your customer’s pool every time – a win/ win for everyone and it’s not expensive given the time it saves you and the confidence it gives your customer!

Cost Effective

Up to 7m / RRP $56 + GST
Up to 7.1–10m / RRP $65 + GST
10.1m–Plus / RRP $74 + GST

3 reasons your customer should choose a pre-cut pool cover

Posted on

Latest pre-cut technology makes it easier all year round especially in the cooler, wetter months.

  1. You can sell more.

  2. You can make more money.

  3. A shorter turnaround process – can be all done in one visit to site!

Daisy’s pre-cut technology allows the installer to install your customer’s pool, connect their cover to roller, and leave the set up on their roller all without water in their pool. Eliminating the need to return to the site to measure up and cut to shape saves your customer a substantial amount of time, money and double handling as it will all be taken care of in the first instance.

Pre-cut pool covers are the easiest and most effective covers that can be tailored to your customer’s unique pool shape and size. They provide the perfect fit for pools made from both fibreglass or from pre-manufactured moulds.

We use an electronic 3D measuring point capturing device to measure the pool’s shape. All measurements are recorded electronically for precision computer plotting and cutting and help us to be able to reproduce a pool cover to the exact shape of the pool. This degree of accuracy used in measuring and collecting the data guarantees a perfect fit for your customer’s pool! Check out this video.
