The G20, QX4, rP , year on advertising, according to Fred, with most of it going to TV and radio spots, billboards, full-page ads in the Yellow Pages, and as sponsoring closed- captioning on TV news broadcasts. "It's necessary to use all of these types of ads," Fred said, -especially the TV spots because many other window companies also hit TV hard and that creates a greater demand for the product for all of us. "But word-of-mouth advertising and referrals are the most important part of our marketing strategy and account for a considerable portion of our sales." Last year, the company paid more than $250,000 to customers and others for referrals, which average $50 to $100 depending on the deal. After windows are installed in a residence, the customer receives a thank-you letter, including a request for a referral. Leads on jobs are phoned in daily to a squad of operators, then are sorted and faxed to 55 salespeople, who demon- strate the product at residences, take measurements and close the sale, which averages about $300 per window. Salespeople are paid a percentage. Seventy installation crews load their trucks each morning and head for homes and condos. Wallside has about 200 employees, but the salespeople and installers are independent contractors. About 150 employees spend 12 hours a day in two shifts, six days a week, manufacturing the windows. A new computerized sys- tem produces the glass faster and more efficiently, requiring less manpower. "Making our own windows gives us complete control of the process," said Stanford. "We even have two trou- bleshooters who visit homes every day, fixing any minor problems that might arise after the installation. To keep cus- tomers happy, they even fix leaks and other things that have nothing to do with our window job." Several of the sales representatives and installers have been with Wallside for many years. One Jewish family is "mar- ried to Wallside." Mike Abels of Farmington Hills met Martin Blanck 30 years ago and has been a Wallside sales- man for 10 years. Also in sales are his son, Anthony, of Southfield; his brother, Sid, of Farmington Hills, and Sid's two sons, Mark, of Troy, and Steve, of Bloomfield Township. Mike Abels visits five to six homes daily and closes about 80 percent. "Wallside is the cleanest, most honestly operated company in the window busi- ness," he said, "and the reputation that Martin originated, and is being carried on by his sons, just can't be beat."
