INDUSTRYNEWS INFOGRAPHIC HELPS INSTALLERS SELL »»BRISANT SECURE’S NEW infographic combines facts from its recently released Domestic Door Security Report with information about cylinder lock standards to create a useful sales tool for installers. The 2016 Domestic Door Report is the most comprehensive research on security the industry has seen. It combines recent national polls of homeowners and independent locksmiths with the latest national Crime Survey figures from the Office for National Statistics. Brisant CEO, Steve Stewart, says, “The infographic has really useful crime facts. Learning that by itself a 1-star lock protects you from only 1 in 10 forced lock break-ins is pretty compelling, particularly when you can choose Ultion, which resists all known break-in methods.” Ultion is a high security cylinder door lock that has achieved Sold Secure Diamond (SSD), a real-life security test most cylinders can’t pass. “The infographic will be distributed as a flyer with new doors,” adds Steve. “It explains why installers need to sell security, and is a useful tool for them to sell their next door with. It explains that Ultion provides the security homeowners want. Why Ultion? Because the only tool that opens Ultion is its key.” www.ultion-lock.co.uk or follow @UltionLock There are two Ultion stands at the FIT Show; AT14 and AT51. Taking the guesswork out of marketing »»PATIOMASTER HAS LAUNCHED A powerful new online marketing tool that promises to give its dealers the opportunity to have their say on their marketing output and budget. Called GoDesignOnline (GDO), the new marketing portal allows Patiomaster dealers to easily design and produce marketing tools that are a perfect fit for their businesses. “Patiomaster and our dealers have a very close,” explained Patiomaster’s Brand Manager, Priya Bains. “It is important that we develop our marketing support to match their specific requirements, rather than roll out a one-sizefits-all package. The result is GDO, which is already receiving very positive reviews from those who have tried it.” GDO is extremely intuitive and takes out all the guesswork when it comes to designing and producing effective marketing tools. Priya has launched a quarterly campaign to target prospective customers in each PatioMaster’s postcode area. “This tool has provided me with a brilliant platform for us to adopt a more personal and demographically tailored approach,” Priya said. GDO can also be scaled up so that you can tailor-make marketing campaigns: artwork templates can be edited instantly with new text and images, and mailing lists can be added to templates to produce targeted personalised mailings. www.patiomaster.co.uk PARTNERING FOR BETTER MARKET INTELLIGENCE »»WHIZZLE LTD, WHO RECENTLY renewed its partnership with Insight Data, has revealed how Insight’s Salestracker software has helped it produce more accurate analysis for both sales and marketing. Whizzle specialises in supplying consumables such as sealants, adhesives and screws into the fenestration industry. Jenny Read, Marketing Manager commented: “We chose Insight Data for its detailed information on fenestration companies, allowing us to segment customers better and target them according to what products they are likely to use. Salestracker has more information regarding these companies and their activities than other databases we previously used or have come across.” The cloud-based Salestracker platform has detailed information on over 15,000 fabricators and installers, as well as 45,000 other contacts in the building and construction industry. The data is updated in real-time by Insight Data’s research team and enables companies such as Whizzle to produce detailed, accurate market analysis to aid their sales and marketing teams. Jenny explained: “The data is a useful segmentation tool, for example, when we introduced a new aluminium solvent cleaner we were able to approach those customers who specialise in aluminium, rather than bombarding everyone.” www.insightdata.co.uk C L E A RV I E W-U K .
