Under Pressure: Scrutinizing Deals on Midwestern Windows

The Midwestern climate can be especially harsh on your exterior. As such, it’s no surprise that a lot of homeowners need to replace their windows often. To avoid getting tricked into buying substandard windows, you need to know when someone’s trying to pressure you into buying something that isn’t quality.

Low Prices That Are Too Good to Be True

Low prices can be tempting. But if they seem to be too good to be true, it would be a good idea to double-check the features of the discount window. There’s a reason why hardware stores drop their prices this low. In some cases, no one’s buying a particular model because they come in an unusual size that’s not usually found in homes. 

Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean you should automatically be wary of discounts on windows. If you do that, you might miss out on some great deals. Just make sure to check the product thoroughly.

Discounts That Only Last for a Day

Another tactic that salespersons use is the buy-now discount. Some warehouses inflate prices and then lower them for a day or so. Remember, don’t be pressured into buying anything without doing your research. If a warehouse doesn’t want to give you enough time to think, you should be wary about their offers. 

The Bait and Switch

It’s not uncommon for salespersons to try and upsell you something. But if they insist on making changes or adding something even after you’ve accepted their offer, they’ve gone too far with this tactic. In most cases, there’s nothing wrong with the quality of the products they offer. However, aggressive sales tactics like these give you an idea of what kind of customer service you can expect from them.
