Become a Futronix dealer step 1

 

 

 

 

i. Review your current company profile and marketing strategy, and possible
synergy with lighting control products

ii. Appraise your current staffing levels and skill sets for the required job
descriptions in Futronix sales and marketing, engineering, installation and
programming, and ongoing maintenance

iii. Assess your current showroom space and fit-out.

Is the market for lighting control products a field that you are currently addressing?
If selling your current product(s) will help sell lighting control products - or vice
versa - there may well be a valuable synergy. How does this affect your
projections?

This analysis should highlight any obvious staffing shortages and skill sets, though increasing the product lines may require additional technical staff.

Note that all these factors will be dependent on your projected target markets and
sales levels.

products.

comprehensive information and instruction manuals, and marketing and sales
materials, including:

step 6 to becoming a Futronix Dealer

 

 

 

Adding Futronix lighting control systems to the list of products you sell makes you

more products sold into one project.

Futronix systems also have synergy with other lighting products and may help you sell
other related products - such as security and fire alarm systems, A/V and home
cinema systems, and mechanical systems including drapes, curtains and sunshades.

i. Plan your marketing and sales strategies - if you are targeting primarily retail
sales and smaller residential projects, or aiming at the largest lighting projects
in your territory, plan advertising and promotions accordingly

name with advertisements, articles and advertorials, participation at major
industry trade events, and high-profile sponsorship of F3 (Formula 3000) motor
racing

iii. Local or regional print advertising and trade show participation are often
rewarding, and Futronix will consider jointly supporting D/I's in such
endeavours
