Supercharged Open Days To Create Opportunities

A national fabricator’s open days will see more than a dozen suppliers gather under one roof to offer specialist advice and product information in April. Other fabricators might follow Listers' lead in ‘supercharging’ their businesses too by engaging with customers.

Listers, the fabricator in question, is hosting a series of open days in April in a bid to give visitors valuable knowledge about product development, alongside business advice and market insight, which will prepare them for 2023 and beyond.

Held on 25 & 26 April at Listers’ Stoke showroom, the open days will take place across several ‘zones’. There will be talks, demonstrations, workshops and factory tours. There will also be plenty of opportunities to network in Listers’ large canteen area where many profile suppliers will have exhibition-style stands and break-out areas – all while making most of the free catering.

 

2022

“Our open days last year at Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium and our Stoke showroom were a tremendous success and the feedback we received was encouraging,” Listers’ MD Roy Frost says. “Existing and potential new customers took time to attend because they walked away with valuable information on building regulations, product updates, new opportunities and advice on best business practice.

“At our open days in April, we want to use that as a starting point and supercharge the experience. In fact, these events will more resemble an exhibition than a day out meeting your supplier.”

 

Exposure

Exposure will be given to Listers’ Sheerline Classic Window; the new Gallery 44 Gripcore door from DoorCo; the latest Kubu smart technology; two new aluminium doors; the S1 Sheerline Lantern; the Eurocell Luma tiled conservatory roof; new fully adjustable hinges for Residence Collection doors; and the new high-quality handle and escutcheon from VBH. Glazpart, Ultion, Quickslide, Lasco PR, Full Circle Marketing and Business Pilot will also be on hand.

“We will also be giving a sneak peek of the Sheerline lift & slide patio door, which will bring the thermal benefits found on Sheerline’s other products, knock in beads and full SBD accreditation.” Adds Frost.

 

Suppliers

There will be representatives from Residence Collection, Veka Halo, Sheerline, Reynaers and Eurocell – all available to talk about specific product development and regulation compliance.

 

 

Marketing

Seminars will cover SEO, Google AdWords, social media, and Listers’ ‘Easy Marketing’ service.

Other seminars will focus on the latest integrated CRM and ERP system from Business Pilot, and the latest updates on U-values, ventilation and UKCA Marking, with a presentation by John Vanstone from Certass.

Listers will also introduce Jag Jeer from Maven Services who will give advice to those business leaders who recruit the services of a large self-employed workforce – namely fitters.

 

Freebies

Listers will be providing breakfast and lunch and all those who register beforehand will take away one of Listers’ goody bags, which will include giveaways from each of the trade fabricator’s suppliers. The first ten installers to sign up will each get a £50 profile scratch repair kit each.”
