SPI Thursday - Door Knockers

In this week's SPI Home feature, we return to functional items without losing the fun.

Item #34127 - Squirrel Door Knocker

You may not often hear "I'm looking for a new door knocker" when you chat with your customers, but that doesn't mean they can't fall in love with one and decide it's the finishing detail they absolutely need for their home.  This category is another example of things your customer didn't know they needed until they saw it in your store.

SPI offers several designs in door knockers to capture your customer's imagination.  The squirrel design (pictured above) may look familiar as he or she (Bruce/Caitlyn - take your pick) graces the cover of the 2015 catalog.  It measures 9.5" in length so it's clearly a statement design element and is made entirely of aluminum.  Retail it for $59.

Item #50866 - Frog & Branch Door Knocker

The frog & branch knocker (above) is made of cast iron with a patina finish.  He or she (again) is 6.5" tall and still a prominent functional ornament on the front door.  You can retail this one for $25.

Item #33281 - Duck Tape Door Knocker

You may remember the duck tape design from some bookends I featured a few weeks back, and you can also offer your customer the same whimsy in a door knocker (above).  Like the bookends, this duck is crafted of solid brass so you can imagine how powerful the knock will sound when a guest uses it.  The sound will echo throughout the man cave.  Similar to the frog & branch, this one measures 6" tall.  Retail it for $69.
