LuxeHive Fashions: Elevating Bumble Bee Blinds Above the Competition

Updated: Apr 1, 2024

In the competitive realm of window coverings, standing out is key. Luke Schwartz, Brand President of Bumble Bee Blinds, shares the strategic advantages of LuxeHive Fashions, the proprietary line that’s redefining industry standards and driving their franchisees to the forefront of the market.

Beyond Pricing: Crafting a Competitive Edge

While it’s true that the window covering industry often finds differentiation in product offerings challenging, with many retailers carrying the same national brands, Bumble Bee Blinds stands apart. Yes, their franchisees enjoy the best pricing, ensuring a level playing field, but LuxeHive Fashions pushes the boundary, creating not just parity, but superiority. This is about offering an unbeatable price point and margin, coupled with a consumer assurance that competitors simply can’t match.

The Crown Jewel: LuxeHive Shutters

At the heart of the LuxeHive collection stand our LuxeHive Shutters—products of unparalleled excellence. Engineered through an advanced co-extrusion process, these shutters offer a density and durability that outperforms traditional materials, all while maintaining the classic beauty of wood. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, they are designed to withstand the tests of time and environment. These shutters promise not to warp, yellow, or allow microbial growth, and are also fire retardant. Each feature speaks to the thoughtful engineering behind our shutters, ensuring they remain pristine in both form and function.

Unmatched Assurance: The Promise of Luxe Hive

The LuxeHive Fashions line not only brings an air of sophistication to window treatments but also carries the hallmark of our Consumer Assurance Guarantee. This robust, transferrable limited lifetime warranty sets a new standard within the industry, offering unmatched protection. It embodies our commitment to delivering products that stand the test of time, providing a level of quality assurance that elevates our franchisees above the competition.

Notably, our guarantee includes a distinctive promise exclusive to LuxeHive: in the event of damage, our warranty covers two instances per order for shutters—ensuring replacement with no questions asked. This pledge is a testament to the superior resilience and longevity of LuxeHive products.

Exclusive Innovation: No Room for Imitation

Bumble Bee Blinds’ LuxeHive Fashions are exclusive to franchisees—no competitor can access these products. This exclusivity comes from a strategic agreement with our manufacturer, ensuring that Bumble’s franchisees are equipped with products that are unique to the Bumble Bee Blinds brand. This is a significant selling point, as it offers customers something they cannot find elsewhere, solidifying a place in their homes and in the market.

The Bumble Bee Blinds Advantage: A Franchisee’s Perspective

For franchisees, the LuxeHive Fashions line represents more than just superior products—it signifies a partnership that’s committed to their growth and competitive advantage. From roller shades to cellular and faux wood blinds, the LuxeHive collection is designed to meet a spectrum of consumer needs while ensuring that franchisees can operate with the confidence that they are offering the best in the industry.

As they continue to set the bar high with innovations like the LuxeHive Fashions, Bumble Bee Blinds is not just participating in the market; they are leading it. For their current and prospective franchisees, this translates to an opportunity brimming with potential, backed by a brand that’s committed to their success.

Kim Wolfe, known for her stunning designs and heartwarming approach on HGTV’s “Why the Heck Did I Buy This House?” with her husband, Bryan Wolfe, and her own show “Home Made Simple”, entrusted our franchisees with bringing her vision to life for her new home. It was a true team effort, showcasing the expertise and dedication that our family of brands is known for.

iFOAM: Our insulation experts at iFOAM of Hill Country, TX ensured the home was energy-efficient and comfortable, creating the perfect foundation for Kim’s design.

A clean frame awaited the iFOAM team, and they quickly got to work with a seamless, expert installation.

This finished portion of the project allowed for the rest of the project to begin to take shape.

Groovy Hues Painting: The Groovy Hues of Northeast San Antonio team added their signature touch with a fresh coat of paint, bringing color and vibrancy to every bit of the home – inside and out!

Once the drywall was up, the Groovy Hues team was able to start adding some color and mood to Kim’s walls – she chose some simply stunning colors!

The before and after of this exterior still has us speechless!

Gatsby Glass: The Gatsby Glass of Northeast San Antonio specialists installed beautiful, custom glass features, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the space.

The Gatsby Glass team worked closely with Kim and her team on this project – thinking outside of the design box to help create a space that is functionally flawless! Check out the gorgeous “Illusive Green” bathroom designed for Kim’s boys!

And we can’t forget about Kim’s bathroom… the combination of fixtures and glass is so striking!

Working alongside Kim Wolfe was an inspiring experience for our franchisees. Her passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces that reflect the homeowner’s personality was evident throughout the project. The teams are proud to have played a role in making her dream home a reality.

This project is a testament to the power of collaboration and the incredible talent within our franchise network. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with Kim and Bryan, and are excited to see what the future holds for our San Antonio teams.
