]]>NATURALLY, AS CONSUMERS, WE would much rather be able to touch and see first-hand the products we are buying before we buy them - just to make sure they're really the products we want for our project. With online commerce, and especially online commerce with architectural products, a consumer does not always have the ability to see the actual product before it is bought. For this reason, alone, it is paramount for manufacturers to display and describe their products in the most accurate manner as possible. This entails showcasing detailed product images as well as descriptive text about the product, rather than just fluffy, "take our word for it" adjectives. Customers are often times relying on the manufacturer to help them distinguish their products from those of the competition.
Our advice to consumers: Whether you are looking at Brockwell products or another company's products, truly examine the product's level of detail. Call in and speak to a consultant. Ask questions. Compare and contrast. Sure, every company would love for their products to be the go to source for projects, but when companies think like that . . . can it be that they have the best interest of the client's project in mind as well?
Words and phrases such as, "High-Quality" and "the best" or "the industry's largest selection" and "the industry's leader" are 100% subjectively being utilized to sell a product. So, if many companies proclaim to have the industry's largest product selection and is the leader, then who has the industry's largest product selection and is leading?
The bottom line: Customers are the ones who determine what Quality is . . . and is not.
But herein lies the quagmire for architectural product manufacturers. When was the last time anyone has seen a manufacturer's product description say something such as, "Our products display average detailing and craftsmanship that is pretty decent. We aim to create products that may or may not work for your project." ?
With that said, we also believe that the consumer should be proactive in their search for architectural or decorative products that must meet a specific quality level. This can be accomplished by critically examining the products and asking important product questions. When the buyer approaches a purchase in this manner, they are essentially asking the company to tell them what distinguishes their products from other companies' products.
And, yes - many products in this industry are high-quality, so Brockwell is not encouraging customers to think of it as a forbidden fruit - if the products are, in fact, of high quality and they work for the project. Instead, we are suggesting for consumers to critically question companies that use an abundance of dull, cliche industry language to describe their products. This just shows that there's nothing really special that can describe them.
SIDE NOTE: It is worth noting that, in some instances, the level of customer service you receive from a company can also be an indication of the quality level of the products you will receive. Now, this concept is not a standard rule of thumb, but if the sales representative that you are speaking with is inattentive and sounds like they would rather be out on the lake than helping you with technical questions about your crown molding . . . then it wouldn't be surprising if the products followed suit.

]]>Alzheimer's is a serious and sickening disease, and those of you who have had a family member, friend, or loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer's know first-hand how cruel and heart-breaking it can be.
]]>The goal of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) at Emory University is to bring scientists together to facilitate their research and help learn more about Alzheimer's and related diseases. They are also committed to the education of health care professionals, persons with Alzheimer's disease, their families, and the community to aid in understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of these illnesses.
Research is crucial to gain more information about disease, provide better care, and ultimately, prevent the burden of neurological diseases for future generations.
One particular area of interest of the Emory ADRC is a better understanding of mild cognitive impairment and early diagnosis & treatment of memory disorders.
2% of every order that Brockwell Incorporated receives is allocated into a separate fund for Emory University's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Our company's donation will be made twice a year, with 100% of the funds being donated to the ADRC.
* Brockwell will post a downloadable, public report for every donation.
Alzheimer's is a serious and sickening disease, and those of you who have had a family member, friend, or loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer's know first-hand how cruel and heart-breaking it can be.
Through a portion of company earnings, Brockwell Incorporated's philanthropic aim is to contribute towards finding better ways to treat Alzheimer's, delaying its onset, preventing it from developing, and ultimately finding a cure that eliminates this horrible disease.
Our company is lucky because we're able to combine our appreciation for quality architectural products with our genuine fervor to help those directly affected by Alzheimer's. When it comes to purchasing products for your home or commercial space, we want you to receive the products that truly fit your project's purpose. And whether Alzheimer's has, in any way, affected you or not - if you've been thinking about donating to a great cause, feel free to learn more about Ways To Support the Emory University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.
Mattie Mae Gregg was born, in 1925, into the humble home of sharecroppers, John and Roberta Lue Genia Williams. She was the youngest of eleven siblings, and at the age of six, her family migrated to Port Neches, Texas from Meeker, Louisiana when the Great Depression was just beginning.
She was a very bright child who, early on, would read financial documents, the newspaper, and other important documents to her near illiterate parents. As Mattie grew older, her thirst for knowledge propelled her to third place in her high school graduation class. She was the only one of her siblings who graduated from high school.
Mattie married Clive William Gregg on February 17, 1943 - and they later had four (4) children: Lou Jean, John, James & David. While fulfilling her role of wife and mother, she continued her thirst for knowledge and became an ordained minister, which - in that era - was a position predominately held by men.
Mattie Mae Gregg was a humanitarian by nature. During her lifetime, she was a strong defender of those who were less fortunate and would often tutor students who came from families that could not afford tutoring. She also arranged & orchestrated weddings for young girls who could not afford weddings. These are only two of her many endeavors to help others. Above all, she stressed the importance of education.
Her legacy could be that she encouraged each of her children to always pursue knowledge. Two were lifetime educators, and each are college graduates.
I have fond memories of my grandmother, and remember her as someone who had a zest for life and compassion for people. She was happy and loved her family dearly. I will never forget building blanket tents, and sneaking Oreos, and kicking the soccer ball outside, but most of all - I will always remember the values she continually taught me.
"Anything worth doing is worth doing well."
