Wholesale Furniture Collections
When purchasing large items, consumers always like to make sure that they are paying a great price for what they are obtaining and the same goes for wholesale furniture collections. Great looking furniture is almost always a large investment and we understand why consumers want to make sure that a fair price is being paid for their bedroom, dining room or living room sets. In order to purchase wholesale furniture, one must have a furniture store or stores and visit High Point Market or other furniture markets in order to speak with furniture manufacturers directly.
Quality Wholesale Furniture Collections
Furniture manufacturers have a few requirements that they go through in order to qualify accounts. The first question that they ask is about your location. They want to know where your store is or will be in order to make sure that you are not invading another store’s territory. There have been cases where different stores where opening literally next door from one another and manufacturers have to decide which store will better represent their brand.
Furniture manufacturers also want to know a bit about your store. They want to know about how large your showroom floor is and also how much space you will be dedicating to their pieces. Certain lines have requirements on the amount of pieces that you order and that must be displayed in order to make them a bit more exclusive. We oftentimes see this with collections from Century, Drexel Heritage, Bernhardt, Lexington and Schnadig.
If the location is good and showroom size is adequate, then you can finally discuss which collections or items will be placed on your initial order with them. Most of the large manufacturers require initial orders of about $10,000 to $25,000. It is also common for some manufacturers to require that you sell a yearly minimum of their pieces in order to keep the line open. Their goal is for furniture store owners to push their products and have consumers choose them over similar products from different brands.
Top Designers and Wholesale Furniture Collections
Interior designers often request for us to pick up certain brands. If we receive a few requests for a specific brand that we deem to meet our showroom needs, then we’ll definitely pursue it. There are thousands of different furniture brands out there and it is impossible for one store to have them all. Our rule is that if interior designers and consumers are mentioning a brand, then they must certainly be doing something right. We’ll start by visiting their showroom floor in one of the large furniture markets and requesting for one of their sales representatives to provide us with a bit of information on the company and its pieces. During their presentation, information like the one listed above is discussed and great information is learned about the product and also on different trends.
Wholesale furniture collections manufacturers are definitely very good at researching future furniture trends and coming up with pieces that will hopefully woe consumers into purchasing them. Collections are being discontinued all of the time in order to make room for new collections. This can cause headaches to some consumers that are looking to find a discontinued item. Our company receives more than a few phone calls and a whole bunch of e-mails each week from consumers looking for discontinued pieces. Once the manufacturers discontinue a product, they usually slowly sell it out until it is no longer available. Once this happens, the search is on for those consumers who are looking to find an extra chair or nightstand for the dining or bedroom set.
We are more than happy to assist those who are looking to open up their own store with ideas and guidelines based on our experience. Great wholesale furniture collections are hard to find but it is certainly a dream come true for those of us who love this industry!
