Trade Program

Category: business

A professional partnership between manufacturers/retailers and interior designers providing exclusive pricing and services.

Designers are "the trade." These programs offer designers "to-the-trade" discounts (usually 10-20% off retail), dedicated account management, tax exemption statuses, and expedited shipping services, which the designer then coordinates for their client projects.

Common Examples

• We opened a trade program account with the tile manufacturer to secure the designer-level discount for the renovation client.
• Accessing a high-end furniture brand’s trade program is essential for hitting the project’s margin goals while providing premium goods.
