Well, that was a quick year. It only seems like yesterday that I was writing a few words of seasonal greetings. It almost seems like “Ground Hog” day, when on the run up to Christmas the main topic of conversation was the virus and staying safe. “No change there then” I hear you say.
Contour Blinds in 2021.
It has been a funny old year for us at Contour Blinds. After Brexit we were faced with an additional challenge with regards to stock availably. At one time Felixstowe was completely blocked and many companies were faced with unloading in mainland Europe and completing the rest of the journey via ferry/road/rail. This of course meant increase costs for raw materials, but I am pleased to say that at Contour Blinds we were able to absorb all these costs as we had enjoyed an increase in turnover due to more people buying on-line. After the first lockdown this became the norm for which we are extremely grateful.
Customers Discount in 2021.
Back in August as a small token of our appreciation for the sterling work being carried out by our National Health workers along with other Emergency Service personnel we decided to enrol in the “Blue Light Card” scheme offering these crucial workers an on-line discount.
This offer was slow to start, (perhaps because they were working tirelessly with little time off), but after a little period of time it started to gather momentum. It was interesting to note that very quickly we were receiving orders from returning customers and also their friends.
I have always noted that recommendations are a terrific way to build a good solid customer base, and let us face it, after being in the Window Blind Industry for over 25 years that is a pretty big base.
Christmas Discount FOR ALL.
Yes, it has been a hard year all round for most industries, but I reckon that as a nation we are all in this together.
At Contour Blinds we have been fortunate as we have been able to build on our previous success and with that in mind, we have decided to offer all new and existing customers a 10% DISCOUNT for ALL ORDERS placed between NOW and when we return to work on 3rd January 2022.
All you need to do is use the Discount Code Christmas2021 at checkout and the discount will be taken of the balance of the cost of the blinds.
Plans for 2022
Looking ahead we already have some exciting plans for 2022.
By February we hope to increase the range of the Keylite Roof Blinds. It had been hoped to have had them launched this year but due to supply issues it had to be put back. (Thank you Brexit) Also, in the next few months we plan to replace some of the more dated Roller Blind fabrics and Louvre Blinds.We will of course, keep you posted.
So, now it is time to wish you all a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
We really do value your business and would like to thank you all for your past support and especially now in these uncertain times. Please stay safe and have the best Christmas that is possible during these times.
REMEMBER. The Christmas Discount will be removed straight after the holidays but during that time we will have limited staff available to answer any questions that you may have. Just send us a message via the “Contour Us” form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
