A total game changer
We’re often surprised at the number of designers who don’t realize how much more money they could be making by purchasing products at a lower price.
But in a way, it’s understandable.
How is a solo entrepreneur supposed to meet the quotas required to open and maintain multiple accounts at the very best pricing levels?
Enter the Collaborative
By joining forces, our designers are able to generate the kind of purchasing volume that buys access to the lowest prices from a wide variety of home furnishings manufacturers.
So rather than netting the 20% in profit that a standard designer discount brings, you could be earning the 66% profit of a Stocking Dealer.
You read that right. 66% profit.
See what we mean by game changer?
Here’s how that kind of pricing would affect your profit on a single living room for a single client:

Note: Each manufacturer determines their own pricing levels, and not all of them offer Stocking Dealer. Others set their version of Stocking Dealer at a lower margin than 66%.
However, our accounts consistently qualify for the lowest possible price available from each of the lines we offer, and most of them are defined as Stocking Dealer.
That means our members typically earn between 50 and 66% profit on every product they sell.
