Design Trade Service is a fast-growing resource exclusively for interior designers that functions like a full-time assistant. The company offers interior designers immediate access to complete catalogs from major furniture manufacturers and the lowest to-the-trade pricing. Additionally, with the increase in e-commerce due to COVID-19, Design Trade Service provides a seamless process for interior designers to source from multiple vendors at once.
“Consumers, the designer’s clients, have increasingly turned to e-commerce to shop for and procure furniture, so it has become increasingly important for designers to quickly provide competitive prices for their clients,” said Greg Wyers, president of Design Trade Service. “Designers can combine multiple products from multiple manufacturers on the same order and DTS will provide all order and shipping information per item throughout the fulfillment process. DTS will also assist in addressing all shipping and manufacturing issues on behalf of the designer.”
The platform hosts a wide variety of well-known brands, with a great focus on kitchen and bath products, including, lighting, seating and more.
“If you are sourcing the majority of your furniture and product from retail vendors who also sell to your clients, you are missing out on a significant opportunity to offer your clients better prices for higher quality, more unique pieces while making more unique income for your business,” said interior designer Shannon Adamson.
Designers are discovering how much time and money they can save — without hiring an assistant — by channeling multiple orders through one low-priced source and having a single point of contact for all follow-up needs.
