Responsibilities of Sankok Towards environment

Over the past several years, we’ve seen a growing trend when it comes to virtually every aspect of our lives. Whether it’s our diets, our modes of transportation, or our homes, we are all becoming more socially and environmentally conscious. Suddenly we see that green is the new black, and nothing is more fashionable than sustainability, even when it comes to the furniture in our homes.

If you’re in the market for new furniture, now is the perfect time to opt for a green solution like reclaimed wood furniture. Here are just a few reasons why reclaimed wood furniture is a fashionable and environmentally friendly option for your home.

USING RECLAIMED WOOD PRESERVES NATURAL RESOURCES

Reclaimed wood furniture is environmentally responsible because preserves our natural timber resources for future uses. The growing popularity of reclaimed wood furniture has resulted in a decline in the need for new logging, meaning our current forests are safe from cultivation for several more years. Trees that have more time to grow become more durable, which results in higher quality timber when it comes time to log them. This higher quality timber lasts longer and offers greater versatility, which extends the lifetime and functionality of the lumber that we use for years to come.

RECLAIMED WOOD CREATES LESS WASTE AND FEWER WATERSHED TOXINS

The lumber that is used in some reclaimed wood furniture is sourced from existing products, such as sheds, barns, and other structures. Sankok uses reclaimed wood from fishing boats or old building. Repurposing this wood for future uses reduces the amount of lumber that is discarded. Often, the wood that comes from sheds, barns, and boats is very durable and has yet to reach the end of its useful lifespan, making it ideal for reclaimed wood furniture. Because this wood has already been harvested and treated, using it for furniture reduces need for refining chemicals that are often used in the lumber production process. This means the lumber industry uses fewer harmful chemicals that can leach into the soil or water and pollute the watershed.

THE RUSTIC LOOK: FEWER PAINTS AND STAINS

With reclaimed wood furniture on the rise in virtually every interior decorating and design magazine around North America, we see the popularity of a “rustic” look taking hold of this realm. Since reclaimed wood has the tendency to provide a raw or antique aesthetic that is generally not very uniform in tone or texture, and since this is considered a trendy look that many homeowners wish to achieve, there is no need to use paints, stains and other chemicals to refine reclaimed wood. Each of these chemical treating agents has a negative effect on our environment, and therefore the need and use of fewer chemicals is a significant benefit when it comes to sustainability.

When we make decisions that have a beneficial effect on not only our lives, but also the health of our atmosphere and environment, we can have a clear conscience in knowing we chose right. Choosing eco-friendly options is the new way of life, and Sankok is proud to join that movement as a sustainable company. Whether it’s the small, daily choices, or the larger decisions like furnishing our homes, the message is certainly clear: green is the new black. Go green with reclaimed wood furniture and opt for a beautiful and socially responsible home.

Towards Customers

Treat your customers as kings and do not think of them only when you have a pressure to meet your targets within the stipulated time frame. There are organizations that do not bother to touch base with their customers the whole month but are active only when they fall short of their targets and they have an appraisal in the coming month. Understand that a customer buys your products or services only when he/she trusts your brand and most importantly believes in you. Understand the needs and requirements of your clients. Find out as to why they need a particular product and how your product would benefit them. You need to build a strong relationship with your customers for them not only to remain your loyal clients but also bring more people along with them. It is the responsibility of the organization to give correct suggestions and feedbacks to customers. Avoid making fake promises and commitments which you yourself know are difficult to fulfil. What is the need of selling a mobile phone with just one day battery backup when the customer has specifically asked you for a handset with at least 3 days backup?

Never lie to your customers. It is foolish to cook false stories. Trust me, you will be caught. In today’s world, where information is just a click away, everyone does his/her thorough research before purchasing something. Unnecessarily you will lose your respect in front of them. If you can’t deliver something, please mention it clearly. They might not invest in that particular product but believe me, would definitely come back to you in near future just because you were honest and guided them correctly. It is pointless to badmouth your competitors.

Businesses dealing with customer’s money need to be extra careful with clients. Make sure their money is invested in a right way and also multiples at a rate promised to them. Do not run away with their money. It is one of the worst things you can do to your customers. It is your responsibility to take care of their hard earned money. Suggest them the right schemes and right plans as per their need. Do not just think of your own selfish targets and incentives. This way, you will definitely meet your targets once or twice but trust me not for a very long time. The moment, the customer knows that you have cheated on him/her; your game is over. He would neither come to you again nor recommend your brand to his friends or acquaintances.

Respect your customer’s time. Do not decide the time and venue as per your availability and comfort. If the customer wants to meet you at 5 in the evening, make sure you are there on time. Neither reach too early nor too late. Do not keep your customers waiting. Do not forget that there are several options available in the market. Your loss is someone else’s gain.

Organizations tend to forget their customers once the deal is done. After sales service is essential and ensures long term growth and profits for the organization. Make sure you are in touch with your customers after the deal as well if you wish to survive the cut throat competition. Do not ignore their calls once you have sold your product. If the customer is not satisfied with your product, it is your responsibility to replace it or provide a solution. Customer feedbacks are important and help you understand the satisfaction level of your esteemed customers and how you can make your product better in due course of time.
