How To Purchase Product and Sell it for Profit

The Interior Designers Guide for Finding, Purchasing, and Re-selling Wholesale or “To the Trade” Priced Merchandise.

  • Have you ever lost a client sale to a retail store because you did not know how to find the product wholesale?
  • Have you ever had a wholesale source refuse to talk to you or sell to you because you are a designer?
  • Do you know how to find vendors with the merchandise that you want, who will sell to you at wholesale so that you can make a healthy profit?
  • Does it take days or weeks to get a wholesale price quote back from a vendor? And then the client is no longer interested?
  • Do you know how to price out a big job fast so that you keep the client interested and you scoop up all the profits?
  • Do you understand the “insider” language of purchasing? CBD, FOB, COM?
  • Do you understand product mark ups and margins? Do you know how much you should mark up merchandise to your client so that you can be competitive and profitable??

A big piece of the Interior Design profit puzzle is finding the resources that you need to create your design; furniture, fabrics, lighting and workrooms that can be resold at a profit to your client.

This is actually not difficult to do, you just need to know where and how to look for those vendors who want to sell to designers.

The second part is simply learning how to present yourself and your business in professional manner so that vendors respond to you.

The secret to creating profit from product sales is to understand how to calculate mark-ups and margins, and how your choices will affect your bottom line.

Through my years of experience in the interior design business, I have developed a simple, easy to understand template to follow so that interior designers can confidently navigate the world of wholesale purchasing.

I will show you the “behind the scenes” information of how a real design job is sourced, priced, marked-up, sold, and ordered. You will follow this real life example from the furniture plan to delivery and see the designer’s final profit on the total job.

Here is a bit of what you will learn in How to Purchase Product and Sell it For a Profit,

  • Learn how to locate the wholesale vendors with the products so that you have the merchandise that you want to sell for your designs
  • Know how to open a wholesale account and so you can be sure you are being quoted the lowest price available
  • Learn how to work a furniture market and come back with the new sources that you want to sell at a profit
  • Understand why there is a difference between “wholesale” and “to the trade” pricing and what it means
  • Learn how to present your design business to a vendor so that you get wholesale prices immediately
  • Know how to prevent potential money leaks in your purchasing system so that you keep your hard earned profits
  • Understand how much you should mark up product to sell to your client so that you maximize your profit opportunities.
  • Learn how to save time and money by using a purchasing system to stay organized and eliminate costly errors.

How to Purchase Product and Sell it For a Profit will show you how to find the wholesale design resources that you want and need to create your designs and sell them to your clients at a profit.

The Purchasing Product and Selling it For a Profit book contains 110 Pages of information on how to find wholesale vendors and set your accounts and the Design Biz Pricing and Purchasing Flow Chart. Follow a “real time” interior design job from furniture plan to completion; see the wholesale pricing, mark-ups, and profit margins to the designer.

The 2 CD set explains in detail all the interior design purchasing information and secrets that you need to know to get your design business to be profitable. This CD contains 1 1/2 hours of critical and focused information just for Interior Designers.
