Ep.80 - Let's Talk About Unlocking Profits: Why Interior Designers Must Embrace Wholesale Over Retail
In this enlightening episode of our podcast, we delve into the crucial shift from retail to wholesale sourcing for interior designers and decorators. We explore why embracing wholesale can dramatically increase profit margins, ensure project exclusivity, and reduce competitive price shopping. The episode provides a wealth of information on where to find reliable wholesale vendors, from trade shows and design districts to online platforms and professional associations. We also discuss the importance of networking, not just within the interior design community but across related industries like staging and event planning, to uncover diverse sourcing opportunities. Tune in to learn how to enhance your business model, ensure quality, and manage logistics effectively, all while stepping out of your comfort zone to ask the questions that open doors to new possibilities. Join us to transform your approach and maximize the profitability of your design projects.
