Phantom Screens has a simple business structure. The company works with independently owned businesses in each sales region through an authorized reseller structure.

The economy has changed drastically over recent years. More and more homeowners are choosing to improve and not move – leading to a growing trend for remodeling and home improvement. Retractable screens are perfect products for both retrofit and new construction projects, enabling you to capitalize on market trends and sell products which add value to your project, deliver real benefits to your customers and generate income for your business.

Each sales territory consists of a distributorship with exclusive rights to select product lines. The Distributors establish their own network of Authorized Dealers or sell directly to homeowners, custom builders, remodeling contractors and other residential professionals. Authorized Distributors are responsible for ensuring that all customers in their territory receive consultation, installation and service support either directly or through their network of Dealers.

Installing Dealers

The relationship is based on the sale and installation of products from Phantom Screens.

What an installing Dealer does: • purchases the product from the Authorized Distributor • sells the product and collects payment from the end consumer • installs and repairs the product for the consumer • handles all support and customer service calls

stand completely behind what we sell. It’s that passion for quality which defines who we are and Phantom’s products fit perfectly with this uncompromising service mentality.

Non installing Dealers

It’s funny but often when we install a Phantom screen in a neighborhood, word gets around, and all the neighbors want one too. You really can’t put a value on this kind of word of mouth advertising! We also created a buzz and generated business when we posted a video of an Executive motorized screen by Phantom on our Facebook page. Never mind a picture being worth a thousand words – you should have seen the response to the video! Being a Dealer for Phantom Screens allows us to tailor a solution for each customer’s needs. And often, once we install the Phantom product, the customer allows us to help them with other glass, mirror, or screening needs. It’s really a win-win situation for us and our customers.”
