BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

NO Inventory, LOW Overhead, HIGH-END Products, BIG PROFIT MARGINS!

Since 1986, Blinds & Designs has offered the top of the line Blinds, Shades, Shutters, and Draperies at their most competitive price in the area. Over our 38 years in business, our links to the wholesale industry have allowed us to attain the best discounts in Tampa Bay Area and thus can stay competitive versus the cheaper quality products in the marketplace.

We are ONLY Hunter Douglas Alliance Dealer in Hernando County which is a great advantage. Advantages of being a Hunter Douglas Alliance Dealer are:

• Most Innovative Window Treatment products with the greatest selection in the industry.
• Greatest profitability per sale.
• Offers two lines within each product to fit your customers’ budgets.
• The BEST QUALITY products in the industry equates to few service calls thus more money selling and installing new jobs.
• Training classes and videos available 24/7 so you can improve your selling techniques, product knowledge, and installation skills.
• Best of all, Blinds and Designs has been able to acquire the BEST discounts in the state of Florida from Hunter Douglas by our relationship with them over the years including a 6-year stint as one of their sales representatives.

Blinds & Designs is great business to have because we meet the greatest customers, see amazing homes and buildings, and can set our own schedule to suit our business, family, and community needs:

• Our customers are the greatest because when you are honest and educate your customer, they trust you and are willing to pay for the BEST QUALITY that fits their budget. They are also very fascinating people who like to tell us of their many interesting life experiences.
• We get to visit many architecturally different homes and businesses in many different places throughout Central Florida, Florida, and the East Coast of the United States.
• If you love being with your family or part of your community, there is no business opportunity that can offer you the freedom to do all three. You can set your schedule around them so you can participate in the lives of your family – school activities, soccer, baseball, dance recitals, plays, visiting attractions, vacations, hobbies, etc. – and also be involved in your community – charities, clubs, religious organizations, etc.
• Plus, you can work full-time or part-time from your home and do not have the headaches of being tied down to a building with the headaches of leases, utilities, insurance, and remodeling.

Your investment includes EVERYTHING needed to be hit the road running your VERY FIRST DAY:

• Full-size FORD 350 Super Duty Van.
• Full Line of Hunter Douglas and Shutter sample books.
• Proprietary Showroom-In-Your-Home sample handles that fit over 35 sample blinds, shades, motorization, and shutters so your customer can see how the products look and work in their own windows.
• 16 foot enclosed Diamond Cargo trailer for those larger installation jobs which allows you to have 99% of your shutter frames built before you arrive at your customer’s house so installation days are easier.
• 16 foot Showroom Display with all the Upgraded Hunter Douglas window treatments.
• New 10 linear foot Home Show display with tables and signage.
• and MUCH MORE!

The window treatment industry has been kind to us over the years allowing us to be debt free so in recent years we have been able to work part-time and still pay our bills. From January to April 2022, we ramped up Blinds & Designs to the point that we were able to increase our business 804% from the same period in 2021. We did this by utilizing our social media presence with our Hunter Douglas website and Facebook page along with a new social media company, Great Idea Marketing. We followed up on all our Hunter Douglas leads which build as you accept more leads. We also have a full year of social media marketing already to go when you purchase Blinds & Designs. So welcome to the rest of your life with Blinds & Designs.
