In the cut throat market today, business owners and especially retailers have their work cut out for them just to stay afloat. The key to success is of course repeat custom and indeed to gain new custom. Every effort must be made and every avenue explored in order to increase a business’s customer base. The very first part of a business to consider therefore is the exterior of the premises.
DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF THAT!
The first impression a customer has of a business is the outside of the building, this will have a direct impact on their view of a business. No matter how wonderful the interior of the business premises may be, if the exterior of the property is dowdy, and tired looking customers will not be rushing to go inside. The old manual hinged doors are not only heavy, cumbersome and very often unsightly they can appear quite daunting for customers who do not know what to expect when they open up the door. The traditional hinged doors, usually made from timber, have no glass panels inside them so potential customers can easily be put off going inside such premises.
CAN’T GET IN!
The old style manual doors cause access issues, not just for the disabled and elderly population groups but for many other people too. Parents pushing their youngsters in prams and buggies and individuals carrying a lot of shopping bags will also struggle with having to stop and wrestle with the manual doors. There are of course many more disabled and physically impaired individuals that are able to get out and about these days due to the increase in mobility aides and scooters, so for these individuals to arrive at an establishment to find they cannot gain entry is a severe knock on their independence and of course LOST CUSTOM!
WHATS HAPPENING OUTSIDE?
Another issue with the manually operated hinged doors is that business owners are inadvertently creating a dangerous situation both for customers inside their property and for their employees alike. Not only are the staff and customers not able to see any outside activity, they are not able to exit the building quickly and safely should an emergency situation arise. Likewise, would be criminals will know that they will not be seen outside of the premises prior to entry.
OUCH THAT HURT!
Accidents and injuries unfortunately happen where manually operated doors are used. Children have been known to quite frequently trap their fingers inside and individuals often have the old heavy doors banging into them. A door that has been propped open for whatever reason or left ajar is at risk of slamming shut at any time and of course poses the annoying problem of banging and allowing in draughts.
SHUT THAT DOOR!
Unfortunately manual doors are often left open either by absent minded employees and customers or by delivery drivers and visitors, this allows expensive heat to escape outside into the street causing unnecessary high heating bills for the business owner. It is important that the inside of the business premises are kept at a comfortable and warm temperature for the enjoyment of the customers and well being of the employees, therefore, it is essential for precious heat to be retained inside the premises.
THE SOLUTION! AUTOMATIC DOORS!
Automatic doors offer several benefits not just for the business owners themselves, but in addition and perhaps more importantly for the customers. By installing automatic doors at a property, an immediate transformation takes place; the outside of the premises appears both modern and contemporary. The classy and stylish design of the automatic doors almost welcomes potential customers inside and delivers fantastic customer service.
EASY ACCESS
Automatic doors provide straight forward and comfortable access for all population groups. Everyone who wishes to visit any establishment can easily do so and business owners will not only be conforming to the Equality Act (formerly known as the DDA – Disability Discrimination Act) but will be looking after the needs of all their customers.
SAFTEY AND SECURITY
Through the installation of automatic doors another tier of security will be added to the business premises. Employees and customers will feel far safer due to the fact that they can clearly see both inside and outside the premises. Automatic doors are manufactured from aluminium and toughened glass or completely frameless toughened glass. The automatic function of the doors prevents congestion in the doorways even at peak times of the day, therefore a speedy and efficient exit is ensured.
