Marketing

I dont believe it.I want some new carpet for my stairs.hall.I dont feel well enough to visit a store,& definitely dont want to order on line without seeing samples,so I rang our nearest carpet right store.But,sorry we dont do home consultations, you can order 4 samples of carpet free 7 when you choose we will come to measure & estimate cost,or you can visit a store What has happened to good salesmanship ?No wonder stores are closing down

Re: Marketing

Hi Deylon, have you checked around where you live to see if there are small businesses? They usually come to the house armed with books and samples.

Re: Marketing

Personally I would avoid Carpet Right knowing that they are closing stores all over the place. Most online carpet suppliers will be happy to send you free samples in the post. I know it's difficult because they only send small samples. If you can settle on the carpet, get a local fitter round to measure up and fit it if the price is OK.

Re: Marketing

I always think the smaller places, even the one man band type, give a really good service.
And, they usually have loads of books and samples.
There's a chap my way who has been going for years.

Good luck!

Sometimes having Piles of advice, only serves to confuse.
