How we work
A clear cooperation, agreed in advance
You build your business locally; we provide production, distribution and support. This page explains what you can expect from us, what we expect from you and how a partnership starts.
What we provide
- Products from our own factories in the Netherlands and Lithuania.
- Three demonstration models for your shop or showroom, without immediate full payment.
- No need for a large sales stock of your own.
- Delivery from our distribution, according to the agreements made.
- Direct contact about products, orders and deliveries.
- The partner back office for leads, quotations, deliveries and your partner share.
- The possibility to take part in our lead programme.
The demonstration models
Customers want to see a barrelsauna, hottub or ice tub in real life before they decide.
For your showroom we make three demonstration models available. They let visitors see the products up close and experience the materials, finish and layout. You do not have to pay for the demonstration models in full immediately.
The demonstration models remain the property of Barrelsauna's & Tubs until it is decided otherwise in accordance with the agreements made. The terms for placement, use, any sale and later takeover are recorded clearly in advance.
In your showroom, customers can
- view and compare products;
- experience materials and finish;
- ask questions about models and options;
- discuss which version suits their garden;
- receive advice on heating, placement and use;
- place an order in the agreed way.
Delivery and distribution
When you sell a product, it is delivered from our own distribution according to the agreements made. You therefore do not have to buy and store several saunas, hottubs or ice tubs in advance. Because we produce ourselves in the Netherlands and Lithuania, the lines between sales, distribution and production stay short.
Our products are barrelsaunas, hottubs and ice tubs. Depending on the cooperation and your location, additional product groups can be discussed later.
Enquiries from your region
Online visibility from the central website combined with personal advice in your showroom.
Through our website we regularly receive enquiries from people interested in our products. Partners who take part in the lead programme can, depending on the agreements made, follow up enquiries from their own region.
Receiving enquiries is not an automatic right. When deciding on participation we look at, among other things:
- the location and catchment area of your showroom;
- the quality of the product presentation;
- your availability to customers;
- the speed and quality with which enquiries are followed up;
- your active commitment to local sales;
- compliance with the commercial agreements made.
Partners who take part in the lead programme sell only our products within the agreed product groups and do not offer comparable products from competing suppliers within those categories. The exact agreements on region, product groups, enquiries and any exclusivity are recorded in writing in advance.
What we expect from a partner
A good partner is more than a location with a few products.
- Suitable and representative shop or showroom space.
- Well-kept presentation of the demonstration models.
- Good availability for customers.
- Professional and personal customer contact.
- Quick follow-up of enquiries.
- Willingness to build up product knowledge.
- Active local sales and promotion.
- Compliance with the commercial agreements.
Costs for your own premises, fit-out, marketing, staff and other business costs remain your own responsibility.
