September 2016

Greetings! 

Keep Going!


While the calendar says September, we know there's plenty of summer left.  

Many of your customers have a long list of projects they want to get completed in the weeks ahead.  Don't slow down on your marketing and sales efforts. 

There's plenty of work out there!

Plan Ahead!

It's time to think about getting ready for the busy months for landscape lighting and holiday decorating.   Experienced contractors know fall and winter services take more aggressive marketing efforts to get customers engaged.  Assemble a team and prepare your fall and winter marketing and operational plans.  Don't wait until it's too late to book jobs for the late season months.

Ask us about ways to profitably extend your selling season.  We have proven ideas that can help!

Seeing is Believing!  EZFlow Gravel-Free French Drain Installs Faster & Easier

 

EZFlow from NDS makes drainage installation less labor-intensive.  No backbreaking effort of moving gravel around the site.  

On a typical 50' French drain system, EZ Flow can be installed in under 10 minutes once the trench is dug. This is an incredible labor savings that can allow contractors to double their efficiency. There is no messy gravel clean up after the job - another key benefit that saves time.

Watch the video for a side-by-side comparison of a standard french drain system and time-saving EZFlow.

Atlantic TT Series Pumps:  Powerful and Profitable  

 

Atlantic Water Gardens' TT-Series Asynchronous Pumps deliver maximum volume and resistance to hard water buildup in a compact, easily serviced package.

From 1500 to 6000 GPH, the smaller TT Pumps strip down in seconds without tools for the easiest service, cleaning and repair in the industry. The largest in the line, the TT9000 is the most powerful magnetic induction pump on the market today, with flows up to 9500 GPH at less than 590 watts, and the rest of the line offers even greater flows per watt. All feature male threaded adapters for full flow, screened rotor chambers for excellent heat dissipation and minimal lime buildup, and a ribbed pre-filter screen that provides huge surface area front, sides and back, reducing clogging.

The TT Series are remarkably compact as well, easily fitting in even the tightest pump vaults and skimmers. In fact, two TT's usually fit into the space designed for one conventional pump, allowing the contractor to take advantage of redundancy - one pump always working even if the other needs service or repair. Best of all, their extreme efficiency means that two TT Pumps will actually reduce energy costs, saving the end user hundreds of dollars while doubling profits on the pumps!

  

 

 

 

Fall Means Less Daylight, and More Opportunities to Sell LEDs 

 
Keep crews busy this fall and winter by converting your previous incandescent and halogen lighting system customers to LED with Kichler® 12V and 120V LED replacement lamps.

 

Old fixtures = new opportunities.

 

During the winter, homeowners are pulling into their driveways after dark making landscape lighting top-of-mind. Yet customers with existing systems might not be willing to start over with new fixtures; that's when Kichler LED replacement bulbs make sense. Let them know that Kichler LED lamps generate all of the lumens of a halogen or incandescent system while consuming less wattage. Plus, there are no replacement bulb costs for six years. Testing confirms that the lamps pay for themselves in less than two years - a savings story your customers will love to hear, especially during the winter when energy expenses can rise due to less daylight.

 

Engineered to deliver beautiful results. Designed and tested for use in residential and commercial applications, Kichler lamps generate a consistent light output and offer all-weather performance. Our beam spread choices and Kelvin color temperature options also help you customize the light to your application.
