Here at Yewdale, we’ve designed our website to be more than just a place to browse our range of blinds, or purchase fabrics and components. We’re proud to be the go-to spot for sourcing curtain tracks and keeping up to date with news from the shading and screening sector. But we’ve also worked to become a highly valuable resource for supporting smarter decision making, boosting efficiency, and helping businesses get the most value from our products in real-world settings. 

We understand that running a business means managing numerous moving parts, and that's why we’ve created a suite of tools designed to make life easier. Our digital resources help you get the most out of your Yewdale deliveries, ensuring clients can start deriving value from products instantly. 

In this guide, we’ll take you through the different types of downloadable resources and easy-to-use templates available on our website. We’ll also explain how each one can help to save you time, reduce friction in your ordering processes, and ensure you’re always delivering great service to customers.

 

Decision-making tools

As professionals in the blind and shading sector, you’re the experts your customers rely on. While your clients may not have the time or expertise to dive into the specifics of shading solutions or research all the options, it’s your job to know the ins and outs of each product so that you can offer the best advice and guide your customers through the decision-making process. Yewdale is here to help you become that expert, providing tools that help you make smart, tailored recommendations. 

1. General brochures and product literature

Our online brochures and product-specific resources are packed with helpful and essential information like specifications, sizes, and component breakdowns. These resources give you everything you need to quote accurately and discuss product options confidently with your customers. Whether you’re explaining a product’s benefits or helping clients decide between choices, these brochures ensure you’re always well-informed and prepared for the conversation.

2. Fabric selector PDFs

While physical samples are always the preferred option, our fabric selector PDFs offer a quick and easy way to help clients approve colours and styles. This tool speeds up decision-making, reducing delays and allowing you to get your projects moving faster. They’re especially useful when an exact match isn’t required or when you need to move quickly. By giving customers a clear visual reference, you can provide a smooth, efficient experience that highlights your expertise in fabric choices.
 

Efficiency tools

When your customers reach out for shading solutions, it’s typically because they have an immediate need. They’re often not thinking ahead; they need something, and they need it now. And when that happens, they want quick, efficient solutions, not delays. That’s why it's crucial to have streamlined, efficient ordering processes in place. By reducing admin, you can get back to what matters most: providing exceptional service to your customers and delivering the solutions they need. 

1. Measuring instructions

Getting measurements right – and getting them right the first time – is essential for reducing delays and keeping customers happy. Unfortunately, mistakes can happen, but our detailed measuring instructions reduce the risk, providing step-by-step guidance on how to take precise measurements. This ensures you get it spot on, reducing errors and avoiding the need for costly corrections later. With this resource, you’ll be able to complete the order more efficiently and avoid frustrating delays.

2. Order templates

We offer custom order templates, designed to guide you through the entire process, for each of our systems. This is especially helpful for large or repeat orders, as the templates reduce the need for back-and-forth communication and ensure you gather all the necessary information up front. Once completed, you can upload the templates directly into our system, speeding up quoting and ordering. Embracing these templates can save you time and help streamline your processes.
 

Value-bringing tools

For installers, the goal isn’t just to complete the job; it’s to deliver value immediately. Your customers want to know that they made the right decision and have confidence that you’ve guided them in the right direction. For that to happen, you need to be able to implement solutions quickly and effectively. At Yewdale, we’ve developed digital tools that support installers and help them demonstrate value right away. These resources ensure that installations go smoothly, which is key to customer satisfaction.

1. Fitting instructions

We’ve created a comprehensive library of downloadable fitting instructions that’s easily accessible and mobile-friendly, so you can use it easily while you’re on site with customers, eliminating the need to stop and search for information. With clear, step-by-step guidance, these instructions are hugely valuable. They provide simple fitting advice for the specific Yewdale system you’re working with, while answering common fitting questions without needing to phone or email us for assistance. 

2. Programming instructions

For motorised systems, we offer programming instructions that provide detailed assistance on how to set up remote controls, wall controllers, and other digital components. These clear, structured documents help avoid mistakes and reduce tech support queries – especially useful for new installers or those using motors for the first time. By ensuring everything is set up correctly from the start, you can reduce follow-up issues and ensure a smooth, professional installation.
