Great things sometimes come from the simplest of ideas. In the summer of 2008, one of our sales reps working in a branch on a Saturday noticed that many of the homeowners coming in were seeking help and advice beyond the basic product oriented questions. Most, in fact, were looking for help with the overall design of their landscape projects. Since we work closely with the design community, the idea seemed simple; connect our homeowner clientele with the local landscape designers. The result has been a win-win-win. Mutual Materials provides the locations and the product displays, the designers meet with potential clients and the homeowners get a free initial design consultation.
The Mutual Materials’ Landscape Designer Program is available every Saturday during the summer season at three of our Washington locations: Bellevue, Vancouver and Spokane. Homeowners are welcome to come in during normal Saturday business hours and get a free 30-minute consult with the landscape designer on duty. There will also be designer information and an appointment sign up sheet during the week preceding each Saturday, so appointments may be set beforehand. After the initial meeting, it is up to the homeowner to decide if they want to proceed with future fee-based design meetings with that designer. This is a great opportunity to ask basic design questions as they relate to your specific project, and it allows the designers to showcase their particular style. Hopefully your ideas, project goals and design philosophies line up resulting in a mutually beneficial partnership.
