ARE HILLARYS BLINDS EXPENSIVE?

ARE HILLARY BLINDS EXPENSIVE? IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK.

We’ve updated our tips and advice on the question: are Hillary's blinds expensive? It can be difficult to determine as Hillarys are a franchise so the service you’ll receive will vary quite a lot. But here is our best guidance on this.

Are Hillary Blinds expensive is a question I get asked fairly often and there is not a clear-cut answer.

I’ve had 2 customers in our showroom today who both had quotes from Hillary Blinds, both thought the quotes were more expensive than they had expected.

I know a lot of Hillary Blinds customers who are very happy with the prices so I think it's all about perspective.

ARE HILLARY BLINDS EXPENSIVE? 50% OFF SPECIAL OFFERS

If a large part of your marketing is based around 50% off special offers then that is what people will be expecting.

From our experience and customer comments the ’ special offer’ fabrics are fairly limited. As soon as you come off that range then everything else would seem expensive.

The ‘50% off’ is an offer to get people to book appointments. Very similar to DFS who also have a seemingly never-ending all-year round sale.

If Hillary Blinds sold every blind at a genuine 50% off then I don’t think they would still be in business. So they hope that the blinds/fabrics you like are in the more expensive ranges.

One lady described this as false advertising as she was expecting everything to be 50% off. So for her, the quotation did seem expensive.

ARE HILLARY BLINDS EXPENSIVE? NOT FOR WHAT YOU GET

To get a made-to-measure blind fitted at your window Hillary Blinds offers a pretty fair price.

They will seem expensive if you are comparing them to the 3 Blinds for £99 companies. To get a good quality blind measured and fitted they seem pretty reasonable from the quotations I’ve seen.

Our pricing is slightly different we don’t believe in 50% off, Buy 1 get 1 free etc. We just use honest upfront prices that are not the cheapest so we would not do anything to give a cheap impression.

Are Hillary's blinds expensive? If you are getting quotes from reputable blind companies then Hillarys Blinds are fairly well priced.

ARE HILLARY BLINDS EXPENSIVE? THAT DEPENDS ON THE AGENT

Hillary Blinds use a lot of sales agents. Self-employed people who sell Hillary's products. We have known the prices to vary depending on which agent visits you’re home.

I’ve seen very cheap quotations and we could not or would not compete. I’ve also seen quotations that seem very, very expensive. So I think it may be the luck of the draw as to which agent visits you.

This is one reason we never use agents or pay commissions. We have set price lists so whoever visits you’re home from Barlow Blinds the price will always be the same. Again honest and upfront prices.
