When investing in a premium German-made kitchen, you have two main options – buy from a large national retailer or go local with an independent kitchen specialist. Both have their merits, but small local businesses deserve your consideration. Here's a look at the major differences and benefits of supporting an independent retailer for your next German kitchen project.
The Customised Guidance of Specialists
Independent kitchen retailers thrive on their expertise with German brands like Nobilia, Hacker, Schüller and Next125. They can provide guidance tailored to your cooking habits, lifestyle needs, aesthetic tastes and budget. Large retailers simply offer preset options in their stores and catalogues. The passionate independents will hand-craft the perfect German kitchen just for you.
Seamless Installation When You Go Local
A major perk of using a local kitchen specialist is that they likely work with the same demolition experts, builders, tilers and other tradesmen regularly. This means your installation goes smoothly from initial plans to the finished product. No sourcing contractors yourself or dealing with miscommunications.
Ongoing Support and Service
Large national retailers often don’t have local service people or workshops to help if issues arise with your German kitchen down the road. However, independent specialists are committed to providing exceptional after-sales service as their reputation depends on it. You can rely on them for warranty claims, repairs, maintenance tips and quick assistance when needed. Buying local means you have someone nearby to contact if problems come up, not just an anonymous call centre.
Quality Doesn’t Have to Cost More
Surprisingly, small businesses can often undercut the prices of big chains for German kitchens. Without huge overheads and pressure for greater profit margins expected by shareholders, independent retailers pass significant savings directly to customers. You get premium German quality without paying premium prices.
Supporting Your Local Community
When you choose independent retailers for major purchases like a kitchen, your money stays in the community. You help skilled local people who are passionate about their product. Large corporations simply don’t provide this social value. It feels good to invest in your neighbourhood.
For customised service, seamless installation and quality German kitchens at reasonable prices, local independent retailers are tough to beat. You support local business too.
