Readers Respond: Upselling decks
<p>There are many ways to upsell a deck project. Here are the leaders. </p>
This week’s HBSDealer poll question turned to outdoor living’s biggest stage: the deck business. We asked: “What’s the best way to upsell a deck project?”
With some 120 votes accounted for, the leading vote getter was “upscale wood-alternative materials.” And anyone who attended the recent International Builders’ Show in Orlando understands that there are many such materials on the market.
The Builders’ Show also provided glimpses of the second and third most popular responses: railing and lighting.
Here is the breakdown for what readers believe are the best ways to upsell a deck project:
40%: Upscale wood-alternative material;
27%: Railing;
17%: Lighting;
12%: Built-in grill/kitchen
3%: A bigger deck:
2%: Upscale wood species
Some 120 readers cast their votes in the poll, which remains open. Please cast your vote here. Or suggest to us a better way to upsell a deck by writing us at [email protected].
