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.
