Rug Summit 12 Topic Update: Rug Repair Services
DENVER — Rug Summit 12, scheduled for October 17-18 in Denver, will feature a special presentation on rug repair and selling rug repair services to clients.
Randy Hyde of Renaissance Rug Cleaning will lead the discussion on the fundamentals of rug repair techniques, and also share details on how to sell oriental rug repair services to increase profitability.
In his presentation, he will cover the issue raised by these questions, “Are you destroying the value and collectability of an old rug with machine repairs and are you taking your reputation with it? Or are you providing a cost conscience and prudent alternative to expensive and time-consuming hand repairs in an increasingly completive market place?”
Additional discussion points will include:
- The customer is always right, or are they?
- When do lower cost machine repairs make sense?
- Should you start a repair department or sub the work out?
Complete information and registration for this event is available on the Centrum Force site.
