It may sound funny, but honestly, if you're opening up your own
retail store the last thing you'll ever want to do again for the
rest of your life is buy anything retail -- especially if it's
for your own store. Buying your store fixtures wholesale is not
only mandatory it's a last resort after you've tried buying
antique fixtures at a fraction of the cost. Even if you've hired
a top-notch retail store designer, he or she should be buying
your fixtures and other materials at prices even better than
wholesale. The designer should be charging for his services and
not making a markup on the raw materials.
If you're setting up your store by yourself, you have to shop
around to know the best wholesale prices to pay for your
fixtures. But expect to pay full price for the design and
manufacture of items that must be custom-made for you. For
example, if you want a certain look imitated in a new material
you can expect to pay a premium for that service as well. But if
your tastes are not too esoteric and if your product can be
handled tastefully in a variety of attractive displays you
should have no trouble finding the right fixtures at the right
wholesale prices to fit your budget. Research and flexibility is
the key here. After all, whatever it is that you are selling,
you wouldn't pay retail for it, so why pay retail for the
fixtures?
There are numerous store fixture wholesalers in and around every
city in America. There are enough stores in existence in any
major city and enough new ones opening up to make the wholesale
market for fixtures a healthy and competitive one. Visit them,
get their catalogues when you are planning the look of your
store and ask them about closeouts and discontinued items for
sale. Their business, like yours, changes with the seasons, the
trends and technology. Give yourself time to make your purchase
and you may end up getting the fixtures you've been wanting at
prices even better than you expected.
