SmartGear is quick and easy to fi t and if a pool engineer has one in the van an instant demo could become an instant sale. When the time comes for a new reel and the end-user wants an identical one, the SmartGear can be swapped to the new reel. Henry says: “Sales have exceeded our expectations this year on both products and we expect next year to do even better. “This shows that there is a need for high quality, luxury products for the top end of the swimming pool market and that this market is still buoyant.”
Also, the AquaSpoiler could be retro-fi tted to replace a
mouldy, tatty-looking leading edge and so give the end-user more use out of their existing solar cover. When it becomes time to replace the solar cover, then the AquaSpoiler can be taken off the old cover, cleaned up and fi tted on to the new one. This year Intopool has have been working closely with Aquafl ex who have been a distributor for the Monaco range of reels and the AquaSpoiler for the domestic market. They have a large stock of the full range and all sizes of the Monaco and all sizes of AquaSpoiler. This has proven to be very successful as their customers can have solar cover, reel and leading edge delivered quickly and at the same time which saves on separate delivery costs. Aquamat 4 Seasons have successfully been using the AquaSpoiler on their heat retention covers for commercial pools. For more details, please contact them direct. 2013 will also be the year Intopool start extruding again with its brand new Davies Standard Extruder which is faster and more energy effi cient than ever. As well as pipe, liner-lock and many other profi les Intopool will be able to bring the whole manufacture of AquaSpoiler in-house and therefore make some considerable cost savings.
Henry comments: “In these days of austerity and cut-backs, customers are looking for products that last and have added value. “We hope we have produced products that meet these criteria and which can be successfully sold by retail shops, independent pool engineers and the like,” he adds.
SALES OPPORTUNITIES
“There are plenty of sales opportunities. For example, SmartGear is a clever gadget which will give an older Plastica reel a new lease of life and will help the end-user wind on solar covers easily and make using their pool less of a chore.”
Intopool has a brochure which has been professionally designed for the end-user and has already proven to be a very valuable marketing tool. If you would like supplies to support your Interpool sales then please get in touch without delay as stocks are limited. Intopool
