Our Summer magazine has landed!

The Summer edition of Dealer Support’s magazine is now live and ready to read!

Summer is finally here! For many this is a time of relaxation away from work but, as you know, for dealers it is important to always stay on the ball. Here is a sneak peek of what you can expect in our latest edition of Dealer Support Magazine – sure to keep you informed and entertained over the summer.

The issue starts with data, a subject that companies now realise is becoming increasingly fundamental. We begin by asking how data can help improve business performance. The answer might be Gap Analysis, an indispensable method for assessing your current and potential performance.

We then explore the significant but often overlooked, area of receptions. It’s the first thing you see when arriving at a venue and vital for companies to make a great first impression! It’s the job of the dealer to assist businesses in ensuring their reception is as aesthetically pleasing, and impactful, as possible.  

Successful reception areas will almost always involve the industry of signs, a topic we looked at in last month’s issue; they also utilise graphics, furniture and stationery. We look at the latest trends when it comes to creating a beautiful, welcoming reception – and how dealers can get involved in this process, staying on top of demand and maximising sales.  

Are you sitting comfortably? With the influx of people working from home, more and more people need a better set-up. This includes a good desk and chair – ergonomically designed – to help remote workers with their posture and prevent health issues.

This presents opportunities for dealers. Dealers can assist customers in understanding the need for better furniture and provide them with the best products – including desks, risers, mouse mats and chairs.

On the theme of flexible, hybrid, working and the legacy of COVID, video-conferencing has become essential to many people’s working days. Whether it’s a Zoom or Teams call, we now rely on telecommunication to talk to our colleagues and business partners.

However (as I am sure you will have noticed from personal experience) problems can arise when it comes to video calls. Whether it be background noise or distractions, there is certainly a demand now for helping workers remain productive away from the office – and purpose-built pods are proving a popular choice in helping to achieve this.  

The pandemic has also changed how businesses manage health and safety in the workplace. Unsurprisingly germs – airborne and on surfaces – are becoming a more talked about issue. Dealers have a role to play in advising how best to keep employees safe in the workplace – and in selling the products that will do the job.
