Business-Building Tips: By Weyerhaeuser Distribution
Everyone loves autumn. Cool weather. Football. Colorful leaves. And, home improvement projects.
Right about this time each year homeowners get enthusiastic about making home upgrades before winter weather sets in. While some people know exactly what they want done to their homes, others are open to suggestions from their remodelers and contractors. That’s where you come in.
As a valuable resource to both your remodeler customers and DIYers, now is the time to let them know about some distinctive products you have available through Weyerhaeuser Distribution that can enhance a home improvement project. While everyone should be thinking about cutting down on air infiltration and heat loss by adding DOW® Styrofoam Sheathing to improve the energy efficiency in their homes, there’s a good chance you can influence your customers to increase their business with you by recommending these unique projects:
Project 1
Upgrade to a FAIRWAY® porch or deck railing system to complement any home style. The top-quality vinyl, composite and aluminum rail systems are easyto- install and maintain.
