Shop-At-Home Carpet Services
Mobile Flooring Franchise
Successful mobile flooring dealers don't operate out of a physical location and have much lower operating costs than typical brick and mortar carpet shops.
Most mobile carpet retailers offer customers the exact same top-quality carpet and flooring materials, experienced and qualified installation and first-class customer service, but at dramatically lower prices.
In addition to Carpet, some mobile shop-at-home retailers offer area rugs, window treatments, hardwood and laminate flooring, cork, bamboo and ceramic tile.
Times are changing
Unlike the 1950's, it now takes two wage-earners to support most households. Gasoline prices are rising, home values are down and unemployment is high. It's easy to understand why many homeowners prefer viewing flooring samples in the comfort of their own home and being able to make wise choices using their actual lighting conditions.
It also eliminates driving all over town to local flooring stores which can be very time-consuming, confusing and frustrating. In addition, savvy homeowners realize they may get a better deal from a mobile dealer who has lower operating expenses. It's not hard to grasp the concept that someone has to pay for the huge operating expenses of a brick and mortar flooring store.
The Mobile Carpet Business is Booming
Even in these hard economic times there are still plenty of homeowners and businesses in need of new carpet and flooring services. While thousands of carpet stores are going out of business due to a lack of customers, most shop at home dealers are thriving.
One reason for mobile flooring sales success is that more consumers are now searching the internet for unbiased product information and expert advice to educate themselves before they make major purchases.
Consumers also seek out referrals from trusted industry professionals who may provide access to lists of preferred flooring dealers or a directory of honest and reputable carpet retailers.

Why didn't Carpet Dealers offer this service before?
In the beginning, wall-to-wall carpet was sold
in department and furniture stores during the 1950's. 
Area
rugs were much more popular until the 1960's. Carpet samples were very heavy
and it took a lot of room to display them. It would have been way too
difficult and time consuming to take carpet samples into the home.
In addition, homeowners had more time to shop at local retail shops on main street. It was the small town mentality where everyone knew everyone. Your neighbor likely owned the local rug or furniture store.
In recent years, most homeowner complaints seem to come from home improvement products and services where items sold might include new or repaired roofs, aluminum or vinyl siding and vinyl replacement windows. Let's not forget those smooth-talking vacuum cleaner salesmen!
Brick and mortar Carpet Dealers have finally come to realize the huge demand for Shop-at-Home Services and are scrambling to jump onboard. They usually outfit a cargo van with their company logo and lettering, fill it with popular carpet, flooring and window treatment samples and stand ready to respond to any consumer requests for in-home flooring sales.
Without a targeted television advertising campaign or top search engine optimization and strategic keyword search terms it is very difficult for most brick and mortar carpet stores to compete with those retailers that do.
Newspapers all over the country are going out of business because the Internet is faster and more convenient. Advertisers that used to buy up full page ads in newspapers are now advertising on popular and highly targeted websites.
No more waiting for the morning newspaper to be delivered, consumers can get free news and information anytime they want it. The Internet is the wave of the future and those who wait too long to get onboard may end up out of business.
