About My Free Carpet Information Service:

 

This is my 12th year online as a trusted consumer advocate. I don't sell carpet, and my online articles and carpet information is free to everyone. I created the AbcCarpets.com Carpet Information Network to help consumers choose new carpet wisely, to have a successful carpet buying experience, to save time and money, and to learn how to avoid common carpet scams. To be completely successful buying new carpet, I believe that consumers must have unfettered access to complete, honest and accurate carpet information. 

 

Homeowners need to know how to select a carpet & pad that meets their needs and goals, have it installed properly and get a fair & square deal. Selecting new carpet is not as easy as it sounds and it's more difficult today than ever before. Most homeowners don't take the time to learn how to choose new carpet wisely, and without honest and accurate information homeowners often select the wrong carpet, overpay or get a bad installation job. 

 

Learning how to properly select the right carpet at a great price is very important, but buying from a reputable carpet dealer is perhaps the most critical factor of all. As with any major purchase or investment, homeowners deserve first-class service before, during, and especially AFTER the sale. 

 

Through my 30+ years in the carpet business, I have encountered so many dishonest, unreliable and untrustworthy Carpet dealers. Some Carpet dealers only care about making huge profits and will use deceptive or misleading advertising to lure you in. While I can't point out all the bad Carpet retailers in America, I can tell you which Carpet dealers I recommend. 

 

Since I started my Consumers Carpet Information project back in 1998, my readers have wanted to know who I recommend they buy from, that's why I finally decided to put together my own special list of Preferred Carpet Dealers across America. It's taken me  years to compile my list and I still work on it every day. 

 

The High Cost of Advertising

 

I know you have watched thousands of TV commercials from carpet and flooring retailers. Those TV ad campaigns cost a fortune. The Big Box retailers have deep pockets and advertise relentlessly. They keep track of their responses to know one important thing: How much does each new customer cost us? For example, If they spend $5,000 on one TV commercial and it yields 20 new customers, then the cost per customer is $250. This is a realistic advertising cost for many carpet retailers. Once they figure out exactly how much it costs to attract each new customer they can then adjust the price of their products to offset their advertising costs. The more they have to spend to attract new customers, the more they have to charge YOU for the products they sell.

 

Why is this important for you to know? 

 

A small display ad in the yellow pages can easily cost $1000 per month or more. Newspaper ads and direct mailing are costly too and don't yield good results. I ask my preferred dealers to help out with my operating costs by asking for a small yearly membership fee, it's about $25 per month. If I refer just 10 people a month to one of my preferred carpet dealers, each new customer I refer will cost them less than three dollars. This sets you apart from the crowd. Being listed in my directory helps them save a ton of money on advertising costs and in return they agree to honor my $100 off coupon. When you mention that I referred you, it lets them know that you are a special customer and they are more than happy to give you the absolute best deal possible! Does this make sense to you? This is why it is so important for you to buy from one of my preferred carpet dealers and to be sure to mention that I referred you!

 

I want you to rest assured that I won't make a dime from your carpet purchase no matter who you decide to buy from. In fact, most of my preferred dealers have agreed to honor my $100 off coupon to say thank you for the business and because I help them reduce their high cost of advertising! See who I recommend near you and please let them know that I referred you!

"Knowing which Carpet to buy is just as important as knowing where to buy Carpet" 

 

Unscrupulous Carpet Retailers Just Want Your Money!

Unscrupulous carpet retailers use sneaky sales tactics to trick you out of your hard-earned money and may sell you carpet that does not meet your needs. Many carpet salespeople lack sufficient product knowledge and experience and may steer you in the wrong direction. I believe that it is very important that you only buy carpet from experienced, locally owned carpet dealers who have experienced and knowledgeable salespeople. I personally locate each and every carpet dealer in my directory and only place those on my list of Preferred Carpet Dealers who meet my guidelines and requirements. 

Print my $100 off Coupon and tell them I referred you!

When you visit any Carpet Dealer from my list of Preferred Carpet Dealers please let them know that you found their business listed in my Directory (AbcCarpets.com) to ensure that you get the absolute best service and satisfaction. I want to hear about your experiences with any carpet dealer you choose to buy from and I welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions.
