MOBILE, Ala. — Bumble Bee Blinds of Mobile has added an experienced sales professional to its team, bringing on Leigh Dale Younce as a sales consultant.
Younce brings more than 18 years of experience in outside sales and marketing to the local window-treatment company. In the new role, Younce will work with customers on customized window solutions.
About Bumble Bee Blinds of Mobile
Bumble Bee Blinds of Mobile is a local window-treatment company offering customized solutions for businesses, including:
- Blinds
- Shades
- Shutters
- Drapery
Custom window treatments are an important part of how commercial spaces look and function. For businesses, the right blinds, shades or drapes can help control glare on computer screens, manage heat and sunlight, provide privacy for offices and meeting rooms, and contribute to the overall look of a storefront, lobby or workspace.
Why outside sales experience matters
Outside sales, the kind of sales work Younce has done for nearly two decades, involves meeting customers where they are rather than waiting for them to walk into a showroom. In the window-treatment business, that often means visiting homes and businesses, measuring windows, discussing needs and presenting options in the actual space where the products will be installed.
That kind of in-person consultation is especially valuable for custom products. Every building has different windows, lighting conditions and design goals, and a consultant who can assess a space firsthand can help a customer choose the right materials, styles, colors and operating systems. Younce’s background in marketing adds another dimension, providing insight into how businesses present themselves to their own customers.
A growing market on the Gulf Coast
The Mobile area has seen steady commercial activity in recent years, from new retail and restaurant openings to office relocations and renovations. Each new or refreshed space creates demand for interior finishes, including window coverings. On the Gulf Coast, where strong sunshine and heat are a fact of life for much of the year, window treatments can also play a practical role in helping keep interiors comfortable.
For local businesses, working with a nearby company offers advantages such as in-person consultations, local installation and a point of contact close to home when adjustments or service are needed.
Choosing window treatments for a business
For business owners and managers considering new window coverings, industry professionals often suggest thinking through a few key questions:
- Light control: Does the space need to reduce glare, block light completely or simply soften it?
- Privacy: Are there offices, exam rooms or conference rooms that need privacy at certain times?
- Energy and comfort: Do certain windows let in heat that makes rooms uncomfortable in the afternoon?
- Appearance: How should the window treatments fit with the brand, décor and style of the space?
- Durability and maintenance: How much use will the treatments get, and how easy are they to clean?
A consultation with a window-treatment specialist can help sort through those questions and match products such as blinds, shades, shutters or drapery to the needs of each room.

The addition of Younce reflects Bumble Bee Blinds of Mobile’s continued focus on serving local businesses with customized window-treatment solutions. With nearly two decades of experience in outside sales and marketing, Younce joins the team ready to help customers find the right fit for their spaces.
