Description
As you begin your search for pews or other church furniture, these are some questions you might consider asking. Are you a manufacturer or a sales company? In today’s market, there exists opportunities for small businesses to be established sometimes using home offices. This is a wonderful entrepreneurial opportunity in many cases. However, it may not be good business for the church. The reasons are varied, but important: -Warranty and repair work will most likely be accomplished by a manufacturer because the resources to accomplish the work are readily available. Not so with marketing or sales companies. Marketing and Sales companies are at the mercy of the manufacturer – whose name is not on the contract. -Manufacturers are normally corporations. Well run corporations transcend generations. Records of sales are on hand for matching and other purposes. Sales and marketing companies normally go out of business when the founder retires. Subsequent to that retirement records no longer matter and may simply be discarded. -After the sales company ceases to exists, the church may have no idea who made the furniture or how contact can be made should service work or matching furniture be needed. How good is the warranty? Ask for references. Not for references of those who have not had a problem, but of those who have. This is the acid test for how well the company is run. Manufacturers produce millions of dollars of product every year. Perfection is the goal, but life isn’t perfect. Problems inevitably arise. It is important to know how well those problems are handled. How long have you been in business? Experience is the best teacher. Imperial Woodworks, Inc has been in continuous operation since 1960.
