How to Sell & Demo Ziptrak®

Ziptrak® isn’t just another outdoor blind – it’s a proven, premium system that customers can see, feel, and trust before deciding to purchase with you. As a retailer or installer, the best way to convert interest into action is by giving your customers a real sense of what Ziptrak® has to offer. From demo kits and swatches to smart digital tools and strong warranties, here are some practical ways you can sell and demo Ziptrak® with confidence.

In-Store & Quoting Tools

Demo Kits & Display Cases
Don’t just talk about Ziptrak® – show it off. Request a Ziptrak® Demo Kit and Display Case, and use them during showroom visits, expos, or quoting calls. Customers can immediately see the difference in component quality and ease of use.

Swatches Sell
Visiontex® mesh swatches samples are essential in any quoting kit. Let your customers touch, compare, and hold them up in the light – it makes colour and clarity choices much easier.

Request a Swatch

Design Your Blind Tool
Take the guesswork out of colour and configuration for your customers. Use the Ziptrak® “Design Your Blind” tool live with your customers to show how blinds will look on their home or business, day or night. It’s a game-changer for closing quotes.

Blind Strength
When concerns about wind or exposure come up, show them the Blind Strength testing results. Customers quickly gain confidence when they see proof of durability in action. Also be sure to educate them on the importance of leaving the blinds up in windy conditions, to set expectations on performance and personal responsibility early.

SIMU Motorisation

Motorisation is no longer just a luxury – it’s fast becoming a standard expectation. Offer the SIMU motor as the premium option for Ziptrak® installs.

Why SIMU?

Trusted Technology – SIMU invented the tubular motor and is backed by Somfy.
5-Year Warranty – Long-term reliability for peace of mind.
Smooth & Quiet – Delivers a premium user experience.
Precision Control – Options for remotes, sensors, and smart integration.
Installer Friendly – Simple to program and integrate with Ziptrak®.

Always quote both manual and motorised options – customers often choose automation once they see the value difference.

The Ziptrak® 5-Year Warranty

Confidence sells. The manufacturer’s warranty on all Ziptrak® componentry has been extended from two years to five years – and it’s backdated to 1 September 2019.

This means:

You can sell with added assurance.
Customers know their investment is supported.
No extra admin – it’s automatic on eligible products.

Please note: the warranty applies to Ziptrak® componentry, not motorisation or textiles. Visiontex® Mesh is backed by a 10 Year Warranty.

And don’t forget the education sector – schools and community spaces are a natural fit for Ziptrak® blinds.

With the right tools and approach, you can turn customer curiosity into long-term sales success.
