Leads follow TV appearance

Dekko Window Systems has been inundated with leads following an appearance on the ITV programme Love Your Home and Garden, which is hosted by Alan Titchmarsh.
Dekko’s Räum aluminium bifolding doors featured prominently on the ‘Get the Look’ section of the programme, which shows a close up of key products and guide prices, and within minutes, enquiries came flooding into the Räum and Dekko websites.
Dekko had over 100 leads on the night of the show, with more filtering in over the following days.
Sales director Kurt Greatrex said: “Most enquiries were from homeowners, and we passed these on to our trade customers. Interestingly though, around 30% of the leads came from businesses such as installers, builders and joiners, so we were able to go direct to these customers ourselves.”
Dekko initially decided to get involved in the programme after hearing about the tragic circumstances of the family in Banbury that was going to feature in the episode.
The mother had gone almost entirely blind after suffering a stroke, and was then diagnosed with breast cancer, forcing her to leave her job. The house was completely unsuitable for her needs, and Alan Titchmarsh and his team wanted to design a layout that would let more natural light into the home and allow for an easy transition from the home into the garden.
“ITV asked if we could supply a set of Räum aluminium bi-folds and we were more than happy to help,” Kurt said.
