1. Direct cooperation with furniture factories

You can directly establish contact with furniture manufacturers to get more favorable wholesale prices.

However, since there are so many furniture factories and many of them are far away in other countries, it is recommended to use online furniture trading platform or offline exhibitions to obtain their contact information.

2. Explore emerging production areas to get lower furniture wholesale prices

In order to open up the international market, some emerging furniture production areas will offer more competitive prices. For example, in furniture production areas in China and Southeast Asia, labor and land costs are low, and the prices of produced furniture are also more affordable.

Moreover, since the technology of manufacturing furniture is very mature, as long as you master the skills of selecting high-quality manufacturers, you don’t have to worry too much about product quality when wholesale furniture from these production areas.

3. Bulk purchase of furniture can get a lower unit price

If you are ready to enter a market with very large sales, you can consider wholesale larger orders and compare honors to negotiate more favorable prices with suppliers.

If you don’t need to wholesale a large amount of furniture at one time, you can join other small wholesalers to purchase in bulk to improve your bargaining power.

4. Seeking cheap wholesale furniture, you can consider off-season purchases

There are obvious off-seasons and peak seasons in the furniture market. In the off-season, furniture suppliers have fewer orders and are more willing to give lower prices. However, this method is only suitable for the wholesale of ordinary furniture, not for fashionable furniture.

For customer groups pursuing market novelty, they care more about the innovation of furniture design, not just the price.

5. Participate in offline trade fairs, you will have more choices of cheap furniture wholesale manufacturers

If you need to find more cheap furniture wholesalers, it is recommended to regularly participate in international furniture fairs, such as the China Guangzhou Furniture Fair.

First, you need to combine the macro data of the furniture market, analyze the furniture sales in previous years, try to accurately predict market demand, control inventory levels, and avoid excessive inventory backlogs and capital occupation.

9. Establish deep mutual trust with furniture suppliers and seek long-term price discounts

If you are just cooperating with a furniture supplier for the first time, it may be difficult to get a more favorable price. But if you abide by the contract agreement, pay on time, and establish a good reputation during the cooperation process with the supplier, then you will have the opportunity to further improve your bargaining power.

Through long-term and stable cooperation, your furniture supplier may give you a more favorable price policy. Even if some suppliers are unwilling to lower wholesale prices, they will provide better services to long-term cooperative customers and reduce other costs for you.

10. Explore a deeper development model with furniture suppliers and seek a lower wholesale price

If your furniture business has developed to a certain scale, you can consider exploring a deeper cooperation model with furniture suppliers, such as participating in upstream product research and development and providing market feedback.
