Make motorization an option on more projects

A practical approach to offering affordable shade motorization alongside premium systems, with dealer margin and installation costs in view.

A second option for the homeowner

A homeowner who declines a motorization upgrade may be declining its price, rather than the convenience of motorized shades. An additional motor option gives a dealer another proposal to discuss before the customer settles on manual shades. It is an opportunity to win an incremental sale, not a guarantee that every lower-priced offer will convert.

Keep the premium option

Daywell is intended to complement established premium motorization suppliers. Keep the system that suits a customer’s requirements and budget. Consider another option when it meets the project’s technical needs and lets you offer a price the homeowner is more comfortable with. Products from different brands are not interchangeable simply because they serve the same application.

Quote the complete installed upgrade

Include the motor, crown and drive, brackets, controls, charging accessories, freight and installation time. Allow for commissioning, customer handover and service. A lower motor purchase price is useful only when the complete project makes commercial sense.

Evaluate gross profit, not just the motor price

Compare the upgrade selling price with the direct costs of delivering it. A new sale can add gross profit, but the result depends on your selling price, labor, freight and service costs. Daywell does not prescribe homeowner retail prices or promise a particular dealer margin.

Start with a representative shade

Evaluate the exact motor and adapter combination on a shade you actually sell. Check fit, operation, charging access and the intended controls before offering it on customer projects. Keep the setup repeatable so installers know which parts belong together.
