<\/p>\nThere are many different places you can buy cellular window treatments. All of which, have their benefits and disadvantages. Today we want to talk you through the benefits and disadvantages of purchasing your treatments through a dealer or online.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Local dealers give you the option to see the shades that you’ve considered purchasing up in person. It\u2019s always helpful to get a feel for the fabric and see it treated on a window. Often times you might not know what window treatment option you want, a salesperson can walk you through this process if need be.<\/p>\n
Local dealers also have \u201cwhite glove\u201d service. If you are not the \u201cDIY\u201d type, this is a big plus for you. Having a professional install your shades inside your home can be a relief, especially if you stay away from home improvement activities at all costs.<\/p>\n
While local dealers will provide you with white glove service and helpful information, you pay for this. Shades purchased from a local dealer have higher markups and prices then shades that can be purchased online.<\/p>\n
