## Story

The largest window covering franchise in North America, Budget Blinds provides custom window coverings for residential and commercial consumers through in-home and in-office consultations that allow franchise owners to serve customers while adhering to social distancing and other virus-prevention practices. Collectively, the 900 Budget Blinds small business owners in the U.S., Canada and Mexico employ thousands, serve more than 10,000 communities and have dressed more than 25 million windows since 1992.

Now, for added assurance during COVID-19, Budget Blinds has implemented a new virtual consultation service for customers wanting to complete the window covering-design process 100% online. The service allows homeowners to show their homes and windows to Budget Blinds designers virtually and then work with local experts through the online platform to design, measure and install blinds, shutters, shades, drapery and other customized solutions.

“Budget Blinds business owners are proud to serve their local communities and homeowners in need during this time,” said Doug Phillip, president of Budget Blinds. “Beyond diligently following the CVC-mandated COVID-19 precautions, as listed on our website, we’re offering homeowners the added confidence of a completely virtual consultation option. You still get Budget Blinds’ legendary commitment to customized style at any budget but now combined with complete social distancing peace of mind.”
