What are the advantages of merchandising?

Stationery products can be the only tangible aspect of a personalized service that a family will take home with them - and the family will usually choose a design that reflects the personality of their deceased loved one. It has been shown that product coordination is equally as important as product choices, and choices create a more meaningful and satisfying experience for the consumer. Merchandising creates a simple and organized process that makes the selection process for a family less complicated and much more comfortable.

Using differentiating price points and package-like designs will ensure that you will have a variety of products to offer each family, enabling you to increase your sales, while still controlling the costs involved. Additionally, a merchandising program will aid in the control of inventory and save space that can be used for other items. All of this creates an opportunity for significant growth in profits for your funeral home.

I am interested in merchandising, can I use the same pages in all your books?

I am interested in merchandising, can I use the same pages in all your books?

We primarily manufacture two memorial register book sizes: standard (10.0" x 7.50") and oversize (11.50" x 7.75") and produces two different spines: square (hard) and radius (soft). Each is a variable that affects the size of the pages in a register book. It is possible to use a single set of pages across multiple books, but it depends on what register books are stocked in a funeral home. We specialize in customization and regularly work with customers to produce products to fit their unique specifications. We encourage you to contact us any time at 800.435.4068 to discuss custom projects.

Can Deaton-Kennedy produce a special book for me?

Yes. We regularly work with customers to create products that fit their unique vision and specifications. We can produce a register book with the imprint of your funeral home logo or name on the cover, as well as books with custom imagery on the the cover, custom pages featuring unique poetry and verses, or your funeral home imprint on an ad page. The turnaround time for custom projects largely depends on how complicated a project is. Pages with an imprint or a custom poem may take a few days, while completely customized register books or other coordinated pieces of stationery may take three weeks. We encourage you to contact us at 800.435.4068 to discuss custom projects.
