REMODELING YOUR BATHROOM? DETERMINE THE LOOK THAT SHOWS OFF YOUR PERSONAL STYLE

New Basco Tool Assists Customers In Purchasing Process 

Basco Shower Enclosures is proud to introduce its interactive online product style quiz, designed to help consumers discover a personal haven that fits their lifestyle and personality.

Using eight carefully crafted questions, Basco has created the interactive tool to help make the process of selecting a custom RODA shower enclosure easy and stress-free. Through this new tool, consumers can bring their vision to life by defining their space based on personal style whether it is contemporary, modern, casual, or simple.

“It is a known fact that researchers can create a series of visual images that when selected, can determine a consumer’s personal tastes. This is exactly what we have done at Basco; created a professional tool to not only help make the process of selecting a shower enclosure easier, but to match a style to a consumer’s vision,” stated Don Gamble, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Basco.

RODA by Basco was designed to not only meet the needs of consumers looking to create their own personal space, but also to make the experience of purchasing a shower door intuitive and easy – from selecting the style, all the way through the installation process.  Every shower enclosure in the RODA collection began with customer-focused innovation; BASCO’s distinct, timeless designs and customization allow anyone create the bathroom of their dreams.
