Topps Tiles Trade

[leslie]

Hi all
What is my best way of going about getting a trade card for Topps Tiles, I use them a lot as it is just up the road from me and all ways find them so helpful .
Regards

I dont have anything local, Tile Giant 15miles, CTD, Cosmo, Topps & the rest all up in Glasgow 30/40 miles away.

Still wont get me buying adhesive from Topps. :yikes:

Im in Morecambe - the only thing i have is TOPPS. Yet to use them. Where do most of you get your adhesive and grout? If the price is better than TOPPS, which it sounds like it will be, i might use them and get it delivered perhaps?

topps ain't bad mate and gave me full trade discount straight away

Wage is bad. 3% commission and its taxed. most stores dont take much. gotta work really hard to get sales. customers always asking for discount so to get good deals. customers making bug orders generally have plumbers/tilers trade card. trade sales make up 60 70%.
Topps make double bubble as they sell the tiles from warehouse to their stores. Tile knowledge is great in the store im at.
trade prices for toppfix is good in my eyes. Palace adhesives make the stuff and I havent had any bad reports yet.

Can't say i use Topps, i find their adhesive prices embarrasing, luckily i have Craven Dunnill just up the road for Bal and Dunlop, Tiletrend are also good, but i buy Mapei in bulk from Lilley Tile and Stone and it gets delivered to my door, brilliant prices.
Green Star! 100% discount is still no reason to buy it, i can't believe Bal still make it, awful stuff.

dont use them in any way ,cost to much ,poor advice , try and sell everything ,dont think about the customer just about the sale
order off line most give good rates or use a small independant to help them out

There shouldnt be any reason that poor advice is given as the online Tile Training College they have is extensively vast and I can guarantee that half the people that call themselves tilers who come in do not have the knowledge that me boss does !!!

You are right on the pricing however !!!

But don't forget there price is 50 o/o more to start with :yikes:

like i mentioned in a previous post, the main warehouse bumps the price then sells it to the shop so double bubble. its ridiculous but the one shop im in like i mentioned earlier takes 38k a week and 60-70% is trade
