All Seasons Upholstery Wins a Soft Top

March 30, 2015 By Nadeem Muaddi

Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - Electron Top Winner

Congratulations to Isaac Knuuttila of All Seasons Upholstery in Houghton, Michigan. He takes home this week’s prize for “Comment of the Week” — a convertible top courtesy of Electron Top!

Trimmers from all over the world left fantastic comments on The Hog Ring this week. While many were awesome and deserving of a prize, we chose Isaac for his comment on a forum thread titled: “Shot in the foot!”

As community members know, the thread is about suppliers that encourage DIY-ers. Here’s an excerpt from Isaac’s comment:

I wouldn’t get too worked up over it. Most of the DIY customers they steal are not your customers anyway. They are just looking for any way to save a buck on that particular project (they just might be relieving you of some headaches.) Let them save some money where they can then when they come across a project they are serious about they will be willing to spend the money to get it done right. Just always let customers know you are not the cheap work around option that they are looking for.

Any customers questioning material cost I let them know I have to make what I have to make on any given job I do regardless of where it shows the money is coming from. It costs lots of time, money, effort and storage space, having samples to show customers and knowing the proper material for a particular job.

We appreciate Isaac’s comment because it provides solid perspective on the DIY market, as well as some great tips on how to handle customers who question our material costs.

Thank you Isaac for sharing your professional experience and insight with our community. That’s what The Hog Ring is all about!
