The
owners of Custom Closets & More are Doug and Sheri
Robertson. They also own three Budget Blinds Franchises
-North Knoxville, Knoxville and Maryville Tennessee. In
the window covering business we are a shop-at-home
business that does over $1,000,000 per year. We have a
large warehouse and office staff in place geared to
service the window covering business. We also have a
great reputation for quality, service and price with
over 75% of our business coming from past customers,
realtors and builders.
An opportunity arose early in 2004 to acquire an
existing closet company that already had a great
reputation for quality and value. Expanding the company
into the closet business made a lot of sense. We could
use our existing facilities and organization to offer
another great shop-at-home product. Our customers’
requirements in closet organization are very much the
same as the custom window covering business.
- The product is best sold
in the home.
- We must establish a level of trust since we will be
coming back into the home to install the products.
- We must be educated and be able to consult with our
customers, taking their needs in mind before we present
a product.
We understand our customers and their needs. The closet
business was a perfect fit for us.
To get into the business we wanted to be able to be
DIFFERENT.
We wanted to make sure we had the BEST QUALITY –
the ClosetMaid MasterSuite line is incredible! This is
something we just have to show you, it is NOT the same
products you see in the Home Improvement Stores.
We wanted to be KNOWLEDGABLE AND PROFESSIONAL –
Doug Robertson and Andy Bennett, our consultant went to
Arizona for extensive training on design, installation
and sales at the ClosetMaid University. We purchased
laptop computers and the best in closet design software.
We wanted to represent GREAT VALUE – this
business added very little overhead to our existing
operations. This gives us an incredible cost advantage,
which is passed on to our customers. WE‘RE THE LOW
COST LEADER!

consultation!
