Successful retail is about strong brands, good presentation, first-class marketing and – most of all – giving customers exactly what they want. Distributor and manufacturer ECF leads the way on every level – making them your perfect retail partner.

Brands you can trust

For nearly 40 years, ECF has built a strong, well-known portfolio of kitchen, bedroom and bathroom brands, alongside big name accessories such as Blum fittings, Egger decors and Caple sinks. These include VOLANTE sliding door systems, HOXTON Painted Doors, greyhouse bathrooms and the latest GADDESBY complete ranges, each supported by its own superbly produced consumer brochure.

Exceptional marketing materials

Each ECF brochure is continually updated to reflect the latest trends, colours, room layouts and new features, printed to high standards that echo each brand’s quality. While online, digital configurators help consumers see how their design would look in various room settings and colours.

Your ideal product showroom

No matter how big your space, you can always use more – which is why ECF invested in its own superb retail environment showcasing its products, perfect as an extension of your own showroom. Located at ECF’s headquarters near Leicester, it lets your customers see and understand exactly what they’re buying and what options are available, with ECF’s team on hand to assist with the whole sales process – even providing a factory tour.

Plan to support sales

ECF has its own planning team available to Retail Partners, with proven success in increasing sales – particularly on high end kitchens. They’ll produce high definition renders of any planned project, ideal for presentation to customers.

Helping you grow your retail business

Understanding and maximising every profit opportunity is key to retail success. ECF assigns a dedicated representative to every Retail Partner, who helps make sure products, marketing materials and sales support are all fully utilised – building long-term relationships in the process. They can also involve our partners at Blum, for example, who’ll make sure every retail display is professionally propped and perfectly displayed to maximise impact.

A true retail partnership

“If our partners are successful, we’re successful” says Simon Noble, ECF marketing manager. “That’s why we believe it’s so important to make sure they get all the retail and marketing support they need – and that we help them make the most of it.”
