UnderCurrent must commend E&S Trading for really going the extra mile to make its sales pitch this week.

Rob Sinclair, one of the Sinclair family members that runs E&S Trading down in Victoria, popped up on the retailer’s website this week offering advice on how to choose a freestanding bath when in store. The video is one of a number of similar tutorials available to view on the E&S site, with others offering info on pyrolytic ovens, washing machines, rangehoods and refrigerators.

Being the wonderful salesman that he is, Mr Sinclair opted to jump into the bathtubs on show, waxing lyrical about back support, arm comfort and the potential for a plus one to fit into the tub with him.

UnderCurrent wonders whether E&S Trading’s floor stock is about to be covered in footprints? Let’s just hope that they don’t provide the same ‘try before you buy’ approach for all their bathroom products.

On a serious note, UnderCurrent wants to commend E&S Trading for taking a proactive approach in educating consumers and offering something unique on their website.
