Arbus Magazine Partnership

Recently, Pools by John Clarkson was honored to be invited to participate with a team of professionals to help transform an exisiting seldom used yard - into a showpiece, functional space.  This project will be followed through photgraphs and story by the local Art's & Business Magazine ARBUS publisher: Cinda Sherman.  One of the main subjects of this 6 month story is the importance of working with industry professionals.
We are excited to be involved in this project with other professionals such as Larry Wilson with DESIGNMIND; Jason Faulkner of Studio 9 Architecture; and David Rinzler of Browdy & Browdy Homes.   PBJC will be breaking ground soon, so look for the story to begin to unfold in Jacksonville's ARBUS Magazine - begining with our Profile on Page 45 of the May/June 2011 Issue.

Pool & Spa News | A Fine Balance | April 2011

Pool & Spa News A Fine Balance April 2011

A couple months ago, we received a call from Pool & Spa News reporter Rebecca Robledo.  She was working on an article about motivating and compensating a Sales Staff.  Although I do not feel to be an expert, I was happy to answer any questions knowing Rebecca's reputation and having read many of her articles. 

At Pools by John Clarkson, we want our Sales / Design Consultants to maintain a relationship with our customers through out the entire process.  We know that this is rare in our industry, as most salesman try to turn the project over to a construction superintendent asap - so he does not have to be around when bad news starts to come.  This philosophy leads to a greater connection between our consultant and the client; which in turn, leads to high quality referrals.

As a bonus, Pool and Spa News decided to place a picture of one of our pools on the cover of the 29 April, 2011 magazine.

Thank you to Rebecca for calling to ask our opinion and for writing another excellent article for our industry!

Aquatech Design Awards

Recently Pools by John Clarkson received a surprise honor that was both humbling and rewarding.  At the 2011 Aquatech Conference, PBJC was awarded multiple design awards; the greatest being "Best of Show!"
Currently it is part of the header on Aquatech's Website.

The reason this was such a satisfying award was that it was a total team effort, with the design being completed in house by Joel Hartman and Jordan Clarkson.  This was a vision the homeowners bought into and love the outcome - which is always the number 1 priority.

We are excited to advance our designs and look forward to attending a 2 1/2 day course in california called "Elements of Design" offered by Genesis 3 this coming week in California.  Expect an update in a couple weeks.
