Katie Blake Outdoor Furniture goes from strength to strength

 

Now a best-selling brand often outselling the competition by 3 to 1. That’s the finding of retailers across the country when it comes to Katie Blake Outdoor Furniture.

 

Managing director Steve Potter is delighted with sales this season with an increase of 40% on 2017. "The early part of the season was poor even though our Pre-Season order intake was up 40% but with the warm weather we have replaced the poor sales in Spring.

 

"One big reason retailers like Katie Blake is that it is not discounted on line, so margins can be maintained, and the other major reason is the 10 year Guarantee! With very few returns it’s a great product to sell and even if there is a problem Katie Blake sort it out immediately."

 

Buying by the container means you get a full margin and a container really doesn’t have that much on it. On average it takes 1 hour for 3 people to unload so buying from the UK warehouse means less profit and whilst they do carry stock with such a massive range it won’t always be what you want.

 

The set shown here is just one of many available in various colour cushions and Rattan Weaves. The quality is very good, the comfortable chairs and deep padded cushions sell themselves.

 

Katie Blake, which is part of the Glencrest Seatex group of Companies, passed the LOFAssured audit first time and so you can be confident that Trading Standards will not be knocking on your doorstep – remember it is the Retailer who is responsible for ensuring they sell furniture that is compliant with the Fire Regulations.
