Using technology and UK production
Using technology and UK production to move your business forward
When you invest in a Marla Custom Blinds franchise, you don’t only get the knowledge and experience that we have with over 20 years in the industry, but the technology that we use that has helped us to grow into one of the leaders in our market.
When you have made a sale we manufacture your blinds at our head office in Fareham. We take pride in the fact that 90% of our products are made in Britain.
Marla is dedicated to staying up-to-date with market trends and regularly attend trade shows such as R+T Stuttgart in Germany, which is the world’s leading trade fair for roller shutters, doors, gates and sun protection systems, which takes place every three years. It includes exhibits from major international companies, and highlights the latest innovations, enabling us to implement these new ideas, and to remain at the leading edge of the industry in the UK.
It’s not just our blinds and shutters but other business technology we use to help you to manage and grow your business.
As well as presenting you with your own dedicated web presence, Marla Custom Blinds have developed an email marketing system the aim of which is to make it easier for franchisees to send direct marketing e-mails to existing and potential customers. Franchisees are able to track who has opened the email and exactly what links people have clicked on, which allows you to analyse the success of each individual e-shot and target your follow-up calls for success.
As our business has grown we have developed our own cloud-based accounting software system, using QuickBooks Online. Our head office team are able to access information and provide advice to franchisees on a daily basis. And because the system is in the cloud, it provides the flexibility to use it from any device, wherever you are.
So if you would like to be part of a forward-thinking business focussed franchise network, get in touch we would love the opportunity to discuss the many more examples of how we use technology to take our franchisees businesses forward.
