New Hardware Finish Updates

 

Goodbye GOLD… Hello BRUSHED GOLD! 

Product orders available beginning January 1, 2019

 

As we announced a few weeks ago, the trend in hardware finishes is going to a new, subtle brushed gold. With that in mind, the current Basco “Gold” finish will be discontinued on January 1 and replaced with an all-new “Brushed Gold” option. There will be a new order code as well, designated as “BG”.

  • Specifically, Gold (GD) will no longer be available in any RODA or Basco core door, part, KD or lineal.
  • Brushed Gold (BG) will be available for all Basco Core doors and applicable parts, KDs and lineals, except for the Infinity Bifold model 1411.
  • Brushed Gold (BG) will be available in our Celesta, Dresden, Tresor, Evo & Preceria Collections.
  • Brushed Gold uses the same finish adder as Brushed Bronze. Please refer to the individual model pages for pricing.

An image of this new finish is available on our website and updated price lists are available for printing at our website HERE.

Current Wrought Iron Now Called “Matte Black” (WI)

Design and marketing trends have led us to rename our black finish from Wrought Iron/Black Wrought Iron to Matte Black. The code for this finish will remain WI.

Previously limited to Chrome, Brushed Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze, we are pleased to announce that Rotolo models are now available in Matte Black (WI).

  • For the RODA 3/8″ Rotolo model (RTLH-905), the Matte Black finish adder is $273.
  • For Basco 1/4″ Rotolo models (5400 tub & 5500 shower), please use the Infinity Matte Black adder.

  • Almond (AP)

Just Smile!

Sales Tip #421 From The Sales Doctor

Just Smile!

Have you seen some of the TV commercials that show before and after photos? If you notice, the big difference is the lack of a smile in the first picture.

Your facial expression speaks volumes when it comes to making a positive first impression, whether it’s on the phone or in person.

When I was a manager for J.B. Robinson Jewelers, I would walk up to a salesperson on the showroom floor and quietly ask them if everything was okay. They would immediately respond with a yes. Then I would say, “Please let your face know because you are scaring the customers away.”

Are you scaring your customers away? Just SMILE!
