How Does It Work?
James Harcourt works by providing a select number of Approved Installers
with the ability to operate under the "umbrella" of a national
brand image.
James Harcourt runs major consumer advertising and PR campaign promoting
the brand to the target group of affluent homeowners who want to add
character to their home.
This national activity is supported by a complete business support
pack to help installers promote the James Harcourt brand locally in
the press, directories and by direct mail etc.
When this activity generates leads and enquiries they are directed
only to one Approved Installer, depending on the consumer's postcode.
The Approved Installer makes an appointment and uses the James Harcourt
materials to help throughout the sales and order process, achieving
margins which are frequently a major improvement on current levels.
Once the order is won, Approved Installers purchase the windows from
an Approved Manufacturer - an experienced, professional trade frame
fabricator - at agreed prices and service levels.
The windows are then installed professionally to James Harcourt standards
- training is provided - to assure the homeowner's satisfaction and
increasing the potential for repeat business and referrals!
Naturally, every Approved Installer has to operate to the highest standards
laid down by James Harcourt.
But the result is that Approved Installers get the best of both worlds… the
independence of their own business and the advantages of a great national
brand and quality product range!
