This article will introduce the reader to the AmeriGlide Stair Lift Chair company, describing what sets it apart from the competition.
AmeriGlide, based in the United States, is a company in the profit-rich stair lift chair industry. Not a large company in terms of its manufacture, AmeriGlide nonetheless does distinguish itself by a strong marketing effort, offering do-it-yourself products, and their maintenance and refurbishing services. I. The strong marketing push by the company means that it is one of the most well known names for stairlifts in America. Its site is very heavy with call-to-action devices, and it offers some of the best- if not the best- pre-sales service. Notably, its sales centre staff are available daily, including weekends, from 7 am to midnight; and are very good at answering any questions prospective buyers may have. II. AmeriGlide is one unique in its pushing of do-it-yourself stair lift chairs; which are stair lifts that the consumer can himself install. Contrasting with the products from other manufacturers, which require sophisticated and expensive installations, these products are meant to be easy to install, and a lot of their design has been tailored towards this goal. This strategy results in AmeriGlide having some of the least expensive products in the industry. However, since they were designed with ease-of-installation as a primary goal, one may surmise that execution may suffer in other areas. III. The company also has an extensive, and extremely profitable, maintenance and repair department. This department is responsible both for helping consumers with their installations, and with refurbishing old models so that they can be re-sold. The company is solidly targeting the lower end of the market, those who want to spend the least amount of money for increased mobility.
