Holiday Sales are Up!

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Dealer locations are reporting better than expected holiday sales. With ten shopping days left retail customers are taking advantage of deep discounts and other incentives offered by dealers. This along with seasonable weather has helped dealers to attain their sales goals for December.  “This is the last chance for customers to buy at 2009 pricing and beat the increase next season” says one dealer.  Another says, ” We’re guaranteeing delivery for Christmas if ordered by the 15th which is a great incentive for the late shoppers”. Package discounts and “freebies” have also been successful for some dealers as well as offering “free delivery” or “free installation”.  ” Its been a good season overall and we’d like to end it with bang” says another dealer.

With reports of retail sales trending upward, dealers are optimistic about next season.  By continuing to offer their customers the best value and service they’ll be able to maintain and grow sales for 2010.  It’s most important to be able to compete with the mass merchants, yet still provide a higher quality product and level of customer service. Keeping costs down has allowed retailers to remain competitive yet still be profitable.  Smaller margins and higher volume are what successful dealers are concentrating their efforts on for next season.

Safety is #1 with our Jungle Gyms

Outdoor Playsets - Safety First

Outdoor PlaysetsWhen choosing an outdoor play set, it is relatively easy to look out for the obvious risks your child might encounter: falling from heights, an un-cushioned play area, trip hazards, etc. What many parents and guardians may overlook is the possibility that the playset itself could pose a threat, if the wrong type of set is chosen.

Cheaply made, poorly constructed outdoor playsets can, at times, be fraught with unforeseen hazards due to their inferior construction. Metal sets can become searing hot in the sun, and can burn delicate skin. Lightweight sets, if not properly anchored with concrete at the base or anchor cables, can easily tip during play. Over time, thin metal tubing can rust and become weak or develop sharp edges on which a child can get cut.

Wooden sets made from thin or knotty wood can crack and splinter, putting a child at risk for cuts, punctures or even failure of a supporting beam. Backyard playsets made from pine and other wood may be treated with harmful chemicals intended to preserve the wood.

Eastern Jungle Gym Backyard Playsets

backyard playsetsThe solid wood construction of Eastern’s backyard playsets means children are safe from many of the dangers inherent with metal and cheaper wood sets. Our premium cedar wood is cut to 4″x4″ and 4″x6″ sizes, much thicker than our competitors’ beams and posts. All the wood is sanded and the corners are rounded so that there are no sharp edges on any of our outdoor playsets on which a child can get injured.

Heavy-duty plastic slides, swings and other accessories are UV protected to provide a cooler play surface. Each Eastern Jungle Gym outdoor play set comes with a ground support system to ensure even weight distribution and a leveling system that allows you to arrange your playset according to your unique property conditions.
