The Snow Flies Today

Winter is here and it is my favorite time of the year for hot tubbing..... I was in my tub this morning and it was great. 3 weeks ago I had a few of the guys over and we sat in my tub from 9pm to 12am. Having a few and trying to solve the worlds problems. Then 2 days later I had a friend of mine and his 3 boys along with me and my son over for an hour dip... The kids really love the tub.

In my last post I mentioned i would give you the low down on the karaoke contest. In August of 2007 There was a Karaoke Contest at our local restaurant/neighborhood hang out Coopers Eagan, MN. This place has been a blast on Friday and Saturday nights Karaoke starts at 10pm both nights. I have to say there is some good talent and some not so good... The karaoke contest lasted for 4 weeks and 2 people could qualify each each Friday and Saturday night. The finals were the end of August and there were 18 people in the finals. It had kind of been the talk of the neighborhood. The 1st 2 nights I sand I did not qualify but, I had one thing going for me. "I NEVER GIVE UP" although one of my friends said I might want to consider giving up. Well I did qualify and and the night of the finals one of the neighbors had a 70's/80's Party and movie for the kids on a projection screen in their back yard. This started at 5pm and the Karaoke Contest started at 11pm. Me and one of my friends from the block John Flannery had been practicing a few days trying to figure out what song we would be singing. I think the final decision wasn't made till the last hour or 2. Well long story short Coopers was packed half of the bar were rooting for either John or me. At the end they were announcing the winner and it come down to a tie between John and Me. So we had to have a sing off. He ended up winning. It was a blast. By the way I did wear my outfit for the 70's party to the Contest, bell bottom jeans platform shoes and all. And we did end up in the hot tub late.

I created this blog as a result of a customer survey... I own a business in Eagan, MN Whitehouse Direct. . We sell hot tubs in Minneapolis and the twin cities really throughout MN and Minnesota. We also sell pool tables in Minneapolis, the twin cities and throughout MN and Minnesota.
I had a customer return an online survey the question was #12 SEE BELOW

12. Please tell us any way we can improve our business. Please be specific. From website, delivery, follow up, service, products, anything... Let er rip...

Customer's response:
Not sure, but i bought a Gulf Coast Spas hot tub from white house direct about 3 years ago and before buying it i did some checking on the internet about the quality. I came pretty close to not buying a Gulf Coast Spa, because of some of the negative information on the internet about gulf coast spas and the way they are marketed. Anyways I'm glad i bought it, i have never had a problem. Delivery was great, and never needed anything else as to other services or products for it. So to answer your question consider going to the internet web sites and standing up for you product and or hand out a list of web sites to check out that has something good to say.

Gulf Coast Spas Reviews
Dear Whitehouse Direct,
I have to tell you, I have spent 3 years looking at hot tubs and the hot tub industry anxiously anticipating our big purchase. I am a person that wants to see every penny in regards to quality of the merchandise and even more so the support after the sale. And to say that I have NOT been let down on either account would be an understatement! To be honest with you, I asked this question several times: "If Gulf Coast Spas claims to be competitive amongst the biggest names in spas, how can they literally cost $2000-$3000 less than the competition?" I spent many hours investigating this very question and found many reasons. I won't go into all the details; I wouldn't want someone to just "take my word for it" without the valuable research one needs to do on there own. But I can testify, several months after the purchase of our Boca Grande, that both Gulf Coast and White House Direct have exceeded all of my very high expectations! (I even called Gulf Coast for support Thanksgiving day just to see how fast I could get a response; I didn't wait more than 5 minutes!)The spa has been easy to maintain, has not had ANY mechanical problems, support was very helpful when I did my own wiring, and the performance is better than most of the high end tubs that we have wet tested. Joe and Todd have always made themselves available. I appreciate the quick response and all the help before and AFTER the sale. "After the sale" is a chance with any company-these guys will treat you like family. THANK YOU!
Thanks you guys, please let me know if ever need a reference...
