Clients often rely on the expertise of builders and interior design experts during home construction or interior design projects. This can include the sourcing and purchase of essentials like lighting accessories, window films, wall covering, and furniture coverings.
Wall coverings can be particularly tricky to deliver. The quality needs to be just right, they need to be ideal for the client’s room space and be within their budget.
So, what can you do to ensure you deliver quality wallpaper to your clients? Let’s dive into some tips to help you with that.
Establish a Quality Standard
Developing a quality standard for your business will make it easier to find quality wall coverings for your clients. Admittedly, quality is subjective. However, you can still establish a solid quality standard by:
- Researching your market– seek to find out what your target market considers to be quality wall covering. Do they prioritize a good fit, durable fabric, or stain resistance?
- Researching furniture covering trends– explore any new trends in the wall covering industry and their benefits. It will give you better insight into what type of wall coverings to source.
The goal here is to be aware of what your clients and potential clients need and identify the best solutions in the market to meet those needs.
Use a Rigorous Sourcing Process
The quality of wallpaper that you end up with heavily depends on the wall coverings manufacturer that you choose. It is thus better to take as much time as you need to find a dependable supplier with high-quality standards.
As you evaluate different supplier options consider:
Material Choices
Aim for wall covering manufacturers that use durable high quality materials. They should also be able to hold color well to prevent fading. The quality of the stitching should equally be high because good fabric and bad stitching defeats the purpose.
A manufacturer that offers different types of material would be a plus too as clients have different preferences.
Endeavor to either visit the manufacturer’s factory or order wall covering samples as it is the best way to ascertain these details.
Establish a Supplier Partnership
Developing a long-term partnership with a good wallpaper supplier grants numerous advantages.
Access to Customization Services
Most manufacturers have MOQ regulations and longer delivery times for custom orders. A long-term working partnership, however, makes it possible to negotiate better terms for custom orders with your supplier.
You can thus easily send customization requests to your wallpaper supplier and get exactly what your clients need.
Consistent Quality
Working with a new supplier every other month can be risky and lead to quality variations. In comparison, working with a supplier whose product quality you are sure of translates to your clients getting consistently good wall coverings.
If there are any quality issues, most dedicated manufacturing partners will likely accept product returns. They may also refund or replace your order.
Prioritize Quality Over Cheap Prices
Buying cheap wall coverings that are readily available in the market can be tempting because it increases your profit margin. However, it is counterproductive. Your customers will notice that your wall coverings are low quality. They will feel that they do not get good value for their money.
A better approach would be to identify a furniture covering manufacturer that offers quality furniture coverings and negotiate a fair price. Buying furniture coverings wholesale will also earn you great discounts thereby improving your profit margin.
Aim for a Proper Fit
Wall coverings need to fit the wall properly lest it ends up looking untidy. This is why it is imperative to always ensure that you get the fit right.
The first way to go about this is to provide fitting or measuring services. This would mean that each time a client places an order, you make a site visit and measure their house.
Alternatively, you can create an online system to help clients measure their romm. It could include a video showing how to measure correctly. There could also be a form for submitting measurements during the order process.
Offer Installation Services
The installation process determines whether wall coverings will fit and how they will look. It can also impact their durability because issues like loose-fitting fabric make it easy for coverings to accidentally rip.
Providing installation services can eliminate such issues and enable clients to enjoy the full benefits of their furniture coverings. It, additionally, gives you a chance to immediately address any issues that may arise such as fitting challenges.
