Utopia Launches Latest Brochure

Utopia has launched its latest brochure which includes recently launched additions to its range of furniture, sanitaryware, brassware and worksurfaces.

The new 116 page brochure retains the same glossy A4 format as previous editions but now presents the product range by carcass finish rather than by doorstyle.

This allows new finishes to be given additional prominence by appearing at the beginning of the brochure.

The two new finishes for Autumn 2007 - Golden Oak and Burgundy Gloss - feature on the front cover and in the opening pages. Inspirational imagery throughout the brochure demonstrates both the design potential of Utopia's 'mix and match' approach and also shows the flexible planning potential of the range.

Towards the back of the brochure are detailed product pages itemising sizes and pricing together with all the necessary technical information.

There is also a useful, easy to follow five step plan to guide the customer through the process of designing their dream bathroom.

For further information, please contact your Utopia area sales manager or the Customer Services team on 01902 406402.

Doing it by the Book

As part of its strategy for growth, Impulse Bathrooms has launched a new consumer brochure showing its latest bathroom ranges.

‘This is a key element towards increasing our showroom presence’ says Impulse Bathrooms General Manager Gary Hawkins ‘The new consumer brochure is the spearhead of our drive into the high profile retail market sector and we are actively looking to add to the number of showroom outlets selling the Impulse brand.’

The Impulse Bathrooms brochure is designed to appeal to the consumer with 52 pages showing off the full range of suites in room settings, together with drawings, sizes and retail guideline prices. It steps away from the typical A4 size brochure to provide the ideal format to show the suites to their best advantage.

It will be available to all retail outlets displaying Impulse products to assist the selling process and is also supported by a display package including a display discount scheme. Impulse has also updated its website to aid customers and further strengthen its retail package, it also incorporates the new brochure content and it is available as a pdf to download if a paperless version is required. The pdf Impulse brochure is perfect if you are selling bathrooms with the aid of a computer as you do not need to carry around brochure copies, alternatively it can be used as a slide show within a showroom.

‘We are moving into the mainstream branded bathroom arena’ adds Gary ‘Whilst a number of brands have expanded their offering by buying in products from a variety of manufacturers who supply similar products to several brands, Impulse products are all made in our own, CICS audited, factory.’

Since launching into the UK 12 years ago, Impulse has grown its business to the point where it is now ready to make a major push into the retail and housebuilder sectors and has introduced no less than five new suites and two redesigned suites in the new brochure. The new suites are all 4.5/3 litre dual flush capable.

The new suites offer all the preferred options including close coupled, back-to-wall, wall mounted and corner suites together with pedestal, vessel, semi-recessed, cloakroom and corner basins.

Two suites will have particular appeal to the housebuilder market as they introduce a new close coupling arrangement which simplifies the ducting installation, saving time and therefore money on site.

The Return of the Maurice Lay Catalogue

The Maurice Lay catalogue has been rejuvenated, and returns as the bible for appliance and furniture retailers.

Recently, Maurice Lay product information and pricing has been presented in the popular Quattro magazine format. However, whilst Quattro allowed Maurice Lay information to be published frequently and features to be promoted prominently, many retailers found it difficult to maintain a current reference catalogue. For this reason, distributor Maurice Lay has reverted to catalogue format, but with a twist. Catalogue 33 now contains up to date pricing and product specifications, but also includes product showcases, features on best selling lines and promotional features. Published every six months the new Maurice Lay catalogue promises to be a current, informative and interesting read for the discerning retailer.

In the current issue (issue 33) retailers can see fantastic photography of the latest offerings from the Caple brand, including the DD600BK downdraft cooker hood and the brand new Gastron and Culina range cooker collections.

To order a copy of the new brochure, or for information on Maurice Lay Distributors and Caple please contact 01179 381 900 or visit http://www.caple.co.uk / http://www.mlay.co.uk
