Furniture Price Tags Not Always a Good Deal

I have never understood the pricing strategy that many or even most furniture retailers use. Are consumers really fooled by the 40% off claimed day in and day out by many retailers? The only thing that really changes from sale to sale is the price tag you know White with snow for the January clearance sale, pictures of Presidents in February, spring flowers in March and April Red, White and Blue in June and July. You get the Idea same Price different tags.

Everyone wants to feel like they got a great deal, I know I do, but a great deal is not based off of some fictitious price that that piece of furniture has never been sold for anywhere, it is just a price made to take a discount off of to make the customer feel good.

It takes effort to truly get a good deal when shopping for furniture because price is only one of the components that make up a good deal. A good deal starts when you get a quality piece of furniture that is in the style, size, fabric and finish right for your room. That has been chosen to fit your lifestyle, with the benefit of solid manufactures that stand behind their products with a warranty serviced by a retailer that has a proven reputation for service.

The sales staff at Concepts Furniture is trained first and foremost to find out what the customers’ needs are, to direct them to the best products to fit their style, their needs and budget. We offer items that are on sale in our stores however our sale prices are truly marked down from a price that we really sold them for not some fictitious made up feel good price. I will admit we do play the game on the internet because that is the only way to get noticed.

So next time you are furniture shopping for a good deal check out more than just the Tags.

Furniture Professionals how and why to use one

So most of us use experts to help us when we want to get the job done right. Maybe it’s a Lawyer in a court case or an Accountant to help with the IRS and even more popular is the Personal trainer that helps get our body’s in shape. So why is it so difficult for people to hire a professional design consultant at a reputable furniture store. My take is that customers think the designers will be over bearing and pushy, well I must admit they’re are some of those out there but there are bad apples in every profession.

So here is what to look for, start with someone that understands your style make sure they are listening to what you are saying. Give them examples of rooms you have seen in magazines, if you are hiring an independent designer take them to stores that you like. Be sure the consultant understands your lifestyle, what the room will be used for and who will be using it, children, pets, grand kids, frequent entertaining, this understanding is important when selecting furnishings. Most often you will have existing furniture and art that needs to be incorporated into your space, be sure the designers have a good understanding of the pieces that are important to keep in that space and what could be moved to another room. Make sure your designer has a good idea of what you want to spend up front, this way there will not be any big surprises for you or the designer when they are making their presentation.

Most of all make sure that it is a fun experience, if it starts to feel overwhelming take a step back. A good designer should have the project broken up into smaller projects, that will all come together giving you a room that you will enjoy for years.

Concepts has designers on it’s staff to assist you or if you prefer to hire your own and bring them in we will work with them on your project.
