Alan’s Preferred Carpet Dealer Directory

Good news for carpet retailers! According to Alan Fletcher, a popular consumer advocate, many homeowners may decide to skip their summer vacation this year and invest in new carpet or flooring instead. The bad news for flooring retailers?  Consumers are hoping for deep discounts.

Millions of homeowners are expecting a sizable tax return while many others have been saving their money waiting for just the right time to get the best flooring deals. The slow economy has affected virtually all retailers so the best time for consumers to negotiate their best deal on new carpet may be right now!  

Times are tough and many carpet dealers have already closed their doors. Carpet retailers need to act fast if they expect to survive the downturn in the economy.

Fletcher is the author of The 2009 Complete Carpet Buying Guide, and has been a trusted consumer advocate for over 10 years. He’s committed to serving the needs and goals of today’s homeowners.

“In our current economy, everyone knows it’s not a good time to sell a home, but many are finding out that right now is a great time to negotiate a great deal on home renovations! Many retailers are offering customers great deals to get them to buy now.” Fletcher says. ”But in the carpet business, consumers are usually willing to pay a little more to be sure to receive first-class service, quality materials and guaranteed installation.”

Fletcher retired after 30-years in the carpet business, and since 1998 has developed a popular Consumer Carpet Buying Information Network. “My websites attract over 200,000 homeowners a year who count on me to provide accurate and honest carpet buying information to help them make wise choices.” said Fletcher. 

The most common question Fletcher receives from his readers?

Who should I buy carpet from?

To answer that call, Fletcher provides readers with a nationwide list of locally owned carpet dealers that meet his criteria for inclusion. It’s called Alan’s Preferred Carpet Dealer Directory, and is located at AbcCarpets.com

Fletcher has a message for carpet dealers. “Yellow pages and newspapers won’t do the trick anymore. Consumers are using the Internet to do their homework before they make major purchases. What have you done today to attract these web surfing homeowners to your store?”

“Everyday, my free Carpet Information Network attracts hundreds of homeowners who are getting ready to buy new carpet. They count on me to provide honest and accurate carpet buying information and advice.” Fletcher said. “Last year over 24,000 readers cracked open my carpet directory, and I’m still looking for a few more reputable carpet retailers to recommend to my readers.”

Due to the popularity of Fletchers’ websites and being a trusted person of influence, a business listing in Fletcher’s Preferred Carpet Dealer Directory can help retailers increase sales and attract more customers from farther away.

“Shop At Home” Carpet Information Website launched

Ever wonder if those huge carpet and flooring discounts advertised on TV are really a good deal, or a scam? And what’s the story on those shop-at-home carpet retailers that bring their samples to you, are they really a smart way to buy carpet or just an over-priced, high-pressure sales pitch in my living room?

Now you can get all your questions answered and put all your fears to rest! There’s a new website called HomeCarpetShopping.com that provides free carpet information and advice by Alan Fletcher, a 30-year carpet buying expert, popular consumer advocate and author of The 2009 Complete Carpet Buying Guide.

Alan’s new website is designed to educate consumers about potential benefits and hazards when dealing with “shop-at-home” carpet retailers. “There are carpet scams to look out for and I reveal and explain how to avoid a number of common consumer problems on my new website” Alan reports.

Alan went on to say that one of the most difficult aspects about selecting the right carpet is choosing carpet that is capable of withstanding the level of foot traffic in your home. “If you choose the wrong carpet, as people very often do, your new carpet will not last as long as you expect” said Alan, “That’s why consumers need to predetermine their level of foot traffic before they begin shopping for carpet.”

To help homeowners, Alan has added a very special feature to his new website, a simple test to help rate their level of foot traffic. By answering a few simple questions visitors will come away knowing where they stand. Alan insists that this is the first and most important step in the carpet buying process.

According to Fletcher, once a homeowner determines their level of foot traffic, the next step is to decide how long they want their carpet to last. “When you combine the traffic level with the longevity factor, it will reveal the proper grade or quality of carpet to select, says Fletcher. The next step is calculating about how much carpet you need in order to figure out how much the project should cost. “This is the most important carpet information that consumers really need to know,” said Alan.

Fletcher firmly believes that Shopping for carpet at Home is the wave of the future and is in the process of compiling a nation-wide directory of shop-at-home carpet retailers who offer great service, guaranteed installation and reasonable prices. “Shopping for carpet in the comfort of your own home is a great way to be sure you select the right colors to match your décor, saves time from driving all over town and wasting money on transportation costs.” Says Fletcher.

Shopping for carpet in the comfort of your own living room can be a very satisfying experience, especially if you take advantage of Fletcher’s free carpet buying tips, tricks and secrets compiled from over three decades of carpet and flooring experience.
