When a customer is remodeling a bathroom or building a new home, he may want to price showers. There are many different types of showers that range from just basic bathroom showers to steam showers or roll in showers. Making sure that you offer different types of showers in a variety of styles will help you attract more customers.

Most showers don't come with accessories such as the showerhead or a shower seat. You can increase your sales by offering these shower supplies. This will help your customers since they will be able to put the shower supplies near the shower to see how the shower will look. When selling showers and shower supplies, consider these options:

1. Help your customers simplify their shower search with shower enclosures and modules.

2. Offer specialty showers to appeal to customers who want more than a basic shower.

3. Sell shower supplies to allow your customers to complete their shower design.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Stock modules for showers


Shower modules provide your customers with easy design options to create the perfect bathroom shower. Stock shower modules in a variety of design options such as corner units and flat wall units. Consider offering showers that have optional features such as shower seats so your customers can get all of the things they want in a shower.

I recommend: Jacuzzi is a shower manufacturer. They offer basic shower modules that have optional features so that your customers can have only the options they want. They offer wholesale prices. FaucetDirect is a shower supplier that carries shower modules from different shower manufacturers. Some of these showers are basic. Others are very detailed. Most of the showers have optional features. FaucetDirect offers discounts for large orders.

Offer specialty showers


Some customers will come to you looking for specialty showers. Steam showers, walk in showers and roll in showers are some of the specialty showers that your customers may want. Offering these types of showers will help you to ensure that you have a shower to meet any customer's needs.

I recommend: Wasauna offers a large variety of steam showers. Some of their models are for two people. Wasauna offers a warranty on all of the showers they sell. Steam Showers, Inc. is a steam shower distributor. They offer drop shipping to your customers. You can find showers from multiple shower manufacturers. Accessible Environments, Inc. has custom walk in showers and roll in showers for disabled customers.

Consider selling shower supplies and bases


Customers who purchase a shower will need to purchase the fixtures and supplies to complete the shower. These shower supplies will also appeal to people who want a new shower look without having to purchase a completely new shower. Showerheads and shower bases can make an older shower more appealing. Shower seats are necessary for some disabled customers.

I recommend: Zoe Industries offers fixed showerheads and hand held showerheads. They offer fixtures with multiple and custom showerheads. PlumbingSupply.com has shower seats and other shower supplies. KBRS Manufacturing sells prefabricated and custom-made shower bases.
