Objection Handling

The five most common customer objections, with recommended response angles and content formats to address them.

Show price ranges to set expectations: ready-made curtains from R396 to R1,408. Explain value versus cost — professional measurement, expert fitting, and A-grade fabrics that last. Use pricing carousels and budget options posts to normalise the investment.

Format: Pricing carousel, budget options post

“That’s exactly what our free consultation is for.” Position the consultation as the natural first step for anyone feeling uncertain. Publish educational content, style quizzes, and process explainers that make choosing feel easy rather than overwhelming.

Format: Educational content, style quiz, process explainer

Ready-made: 3–5 business days. Custom: up to 3 weeks from measurement to installation. Be transparent and specific. Use timeline infographics and process Reels to set clear expectations before the customer even asks.
