Dyson's first retail store opens as part of a trial run
Original Message Dec 10, 2009 2:58 am

Dyson opens its first pop-up shop today, created by the product company’s in-house team. If Dyson deems the venture a success, it will consider opening a permanent store.

Well, Miele UK have had their Centre of Excellence store since 1994!

AND............an 18 wheeler mobile warehouse/store with the latest wares. It travels form the MIELE Hqtrs in NJ cross country making day/weekend stops at authorized MIELE dealers USA wide. It is, as you would expect from MIELE, all top shelve, first class luxury accomodations and presentations. All the MIELE products in a one stop and shop mobile 18 wheeler. Smeared with MIELE art for products, brand name and advertisements. The presence alone evokes buzz from all. And always good for MIELE sales at the local dealers.

Can you tell us where the complaint department is? is it at the front or at the back ? This place looks like a hair salon, this looks like a photochop......

Now, now MOLE -- chic shopping venues don't have complaint departments but the more customer-friendly ones do make sure to keep smelling salts on hand in their First Aid kits for when they hit you with the bill.

It takes a huge amount of money and resources to operate company stores. I think Oreck and Dyson could make a nice partnership, since for the most part the products are complimentary. Oreck could even sell little dust masks for bagless vacuum owners to wear when emptying their dust canisters. I don't think Oreck will ever sell their own bagless vacuum.

A perfect opportunity for Oreck to add a freebe of value. They could give a Dyson with each Oreck. Customers would finally get a vacuum to clean with and let the kids play with the Oreck.

My 5 year old grand daughter, tall for her age and soon to be 6, uses an ORECK XL Classic to help her Mom with the cleaning of rugs and floors. Great way to start the youngsters off on the right foot around the home. Now her younger sisters try too, while the oldest who gives instructions. It's a joy to watch. They love their ORECK, so does their Mom, for obvious reasons.

It is great that they have toys to teach them the fundamentals of vacuuming. Won't be long till they can use a real vacuum.

The nice thing about using an ORECK is that while my grands are playing they are actually working.

No doubt they are working. Pushing and pulling a vacuum and not removing dirt does remove the play from oreck toys.
