Title: Strong Spas?
Post by: James on March 03, 2008, 07:41:46 am
I just came back from a homeshow. One of the local dealers had a new line of spas called Strong Spas. I can't seem to find a web site for the brand and have little info on them. I think they are made someplace on the east coast.

Anyone have any info on this brand?

Funny that you should post about Strong Spas, James.  I have been trying to check them out myself.

Their website is in dire need of an update. I don't think they even have a dealer locator.  A dealer close to where I live is thinking seriously about carrying the Strong line. If they do I will check them out and do a post.

It makes me wonder........if a company is serious about selling anything, no matter what the product is, shouldn't said company update their website at least once a year?

A close friend of mine is a regional rep for them, what shall I ask him and would you like to speak to him?

Some companies still don't recognize the importance of a web presence.   I worked for a multimillion dollar company that sells to Walmart, Lowes, home Depot and a few other big names, as long as they know how to find them that is all they care about.
  I just checked and they have updated their website!

I'm not sure I'd have anything to ask him/her.

I asked and he said Stuart pays him to pretend as if he likes me.

Figures! ::)

Think I can give him a jingle and tell him, "yeah, ,,um,,, I sell Caldera Spas against your brand here in Northern California,,, can you give me some tips on how to most effectively do that? ,, hook me up, will you?"

Weak Weak Weak!!! I talk to competitors all the time get all the info I need. Keep friends close and enemies closer. Sarcasm and fear of your competitors will get you no where, but bonds and lifelong friendships will come in handy as the spa industry is really quite small. You never know who will be working where in 6 months or a year.
