In order to continue to provide our products and services to consumers while keeping our franchisees and their staff safe, we decided to introduce\u00a0virtual consultations. Franchisees are able to take advantage of our\u00a0Window Visualizer, an interactive tool that helps clients view the different window treatments we offer on their own windows prior to scheduling an in-person consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These virtual consultations offer convenience to every client \u2013 especially when they may be juggling working from home and helping their kids with e-learning. After just one meeting, the client can get a strong understanding of which window treatments are best for the space before having a technician come out for an appointment. Clients also have the ability to create a vision board to show a Bloomin\u2019 Blinds expert \u2013 ensuring they can get their point across and share an accurate idea of the potential scope of work with the technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the Window Visualizer doesn\u2019t replace the in-home appointment, it prepares clients ahead of the meeting so that both parties are making efficient use of the appointment. It gives the client the ability to come with prepared questions and request specific samples ahead of time \u2013 making the technician\u2019s visit productive and successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Communication and connecting with clients is essential to the success of any business, so our franchisees are given access to\u00a0business management software\u00a0that integrates all of the necessary functions in one place and helps create a healthy work-life balance. This software includes online booking, customer relationship management tools (CRM), scheduling and notification management, as well as providing clients with a stress-free way to communicate with their local Bloomin\u2019 Blinds franchise owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a client has scheduled their in-person appointment and their technician is on the way, they will receive a text message that allows them to track the technician through GPS right up to their door. Not only do they get an exact idea when their technician will arrive, but they also receive a photo and short bio of who will be arriving for the service. This plays a critical role in the franchisee-client relationship \u2013 giving the client a strong first impression before the technician has even rang the doorbell, as well as a sense of safety and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting a business from the ground up can be frustrating \u2013 especially when you may not have access to the right software you need to grow and manage your business successfully. However, as a Bloomin\u2019 Blinds franchisee, you have access to innovative, streamlined technology tools that have the power to differentiate your business from other window treatment brands in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re scheduling an appointment or communicating with your clients, integrating the right technology can streamline your business and help you manage your time efficiently. As a Bloomin\u2019 Blinds franchisee, you have access to our innovative management software, as well as virtual consultation opportunities and our Window Visualizer \u2013 allowing you to avoid having to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-franchising"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":960,"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535\/revisions\/960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bloominblinds.com\/rochester-hills\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Measure\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.w3schools.com\/sub\/18128\/images\/Measure.jpg\")
