Buying locally is often a very convenient option. Generally a salesperson will come out to your home with product samples. They will provide advise and comment on current trends. You’ll get to browse color samples and installation is typically included in the price. Sounds great right? There are also many potential pitfalls. First, you must deal with a salesperson. They may pressure you to purchase higher priced products that you want. They may also only show you certain products if they are currently benefitting from an incentive program related to the sale of those products. Finally, and probably most importantly, this person is coming out to your house, installing the blinds for you, and probably doesn’t have the purchasing power of a large, online retailer… you will pay more. So the cons of the local retailer don’t bother you? Let’s explore how to locate a local window treatments vendor.
