"Let me tell all of you guys: These swatches are great! Why? They are light. We all know when we go into a house to give an estimate our hands are full already of tape measure, paperwork, calculator, pencils, etc, or a briefcase full of all of the above. Either way we don't want to be carrying samples of granite into the home. Everybody wants to see samples right off the bat. This is the answer. It certainely does not take the place of the customer seeing the actual stone but, it does "break the ice" and give them some direction as to what they are leaning towards. Also, when you are measuring up the counters for an estimate the customers are now looking at the swatches instead of breathing down your neck asking a load of questions that you have to stop calculating and answer them. It looks really professional when you pull them out and say "have a look at these to get you pointed in the right direction". I have a ring of them in every truck. I think they are a wonderful tool for us to use. None of us has extra time. This saves time loading and unloading heavy samples. Less wear and tear carrying them into the house. They look top notch and high tech, making your company look the same; and after all, isn't that what we want? For those of us who do work for builders this is a great thing. Not in place of, but in addition to the stone samples, we are going to give these out so the customer can take them home or whatever. I am placing another order with Barry right now. I think they are a huge help for me. I hope you guys get full use from them."--Chris Mills, President of Champion Granite

"Everyone we gave the swatch books (20) to thought they were fantastic. They are a great sales aid. They do not however eliminate the need for viewing/choosing slabs, they are a represntation of the stones, quick, easy and pretty darn accurate. Very convienient (and light weight).
We as stone professionals tend to over analyze with a very sharp eye for all the small details. All pro's do this in their own profession. These swatches are working great for us, Did our sales double? Heck no, but they do provide a positve professional high end image for our company, which is part of our marketing plan. I suggest that if anyone has sales people, cabinet shops, Kitchen & Bath retailers, etc, then this is a great way to have your company name in front of the right people with the right image at the right price."--Dan Riccolo, President of Morris Granite

"The quality of the images is absolutely great...they are incredibly realistic and look just like stones.  Our salespeople are using the Stone Swatches and having great success with them...and they don't have to carry a load of samples that would weigh 100 pounds.  This has been a great investment."--Phillip Miller, Stevens Industries International
