WHOLESALE Entrance by nsub1

I really like when businesses make me feel special almost like they’re inviting me in through my own special entrance, so when I read a recent ad in a local St. Louis publication offering me wholesale pricing on bedroom furniture it got me thinking. Do people really believe they are able to purchase at whole sale prices? I honestly think shoppers of Wholesale Bedroom Furniture Stores in St. Louis think they are getting that dresser, chest, bed etc. for cost. My hope is to educate and make clear the difference between retail and wholesale on the part of consumers. It is my feeling that many shoppers are being taken by misleading marketing and deceptive business names. After all they only want to save big money. So our question is this, do Wholesale Bedroom Furniture Stores in St. Louis offer something that other sellers of furniture don’t offer? Example: The big the savings of not paying a markup by instead paying wholesale prices?

Wholesale Furniture or Wholesill Furniture?

While many companies advertise wholesale furniture prices our opinion is they’re really only getting what we like to refer to as wholesill. Wholesill is a word we’ve made up that sounds like wholesale to describe what consumers are really getting when they buy from companies that have the word wholesale in their business name or tout wholesale prices to the general public in their advertising strategy.

 
Can Furniture Shoppers Really Purchase for Wholesale Prices?

The fact is the majority of furniture manufacturers do not sell and will not sell direct to the public. High Point Furniture Market and Tupelo Furniture Market are two key shopping hubs for retailers looking for product to buy and then sell for a profit. While furniture manufacturers have been known to sell direct to the public it is rare and is not supposed to happen. To get in to these markets furniture retailers be registered, have their business license and other necessary proof of who they are and what they do. Without such registration the general public is not permitted access.

Do Local Furniture Companies Sell Wholesale to the Public?

While there are bedroom furniture manufacturers selling directly to the public they are not selling their products for wholesale prices. These manufacturers / retailers are cutting out the middleman by selling customers directly however don’t believe for a minute that they are selling their furniture at wholesale cost and significantly undercutting competitors. These retailers /wholesalers are businessmen and women who are very smart and very savvy and are not about to give up good profits to be had and start a price war all in the name of more sales volume.

How can I know for sure I’m paying wholesale and not retail furniture prices?

Do you homework is the answer. If there were money to be made by the manufacturers selling directly to the public we wouldn’t have the retail structure we have today. The companies you know and love would not exist and there would be a furniture manufacturer on every corner. Instead furniture manufacturers focus on what they do best source, design, build bedroom furniture while furniture retailers can focus on trends, demographics, popular styles and yes selling and educating you on the bedroom furniture you are about to buy.

Considering buying a mattress for wholesale cost at one of the local St. Louis stores?

Before you do you’ll want to learn the differences between manufacturers that build the mattresses and the retailers  they sell too that claim to sell them for wholesale pricing direct to the public.  Retail stores such as STL Beds, Mattress Firm, and Rothman Furniture are different from other mattress stores that claim to be mattress wholesale stores and outlet stores. They are really all the same and only differ in their marketing approach, they do not differ in the cost they sell mattresses for to the public.

Take my store STL Beds is a retail mattress store. We are not  Mattress Wholesale St Louis or a wholesale to the public store. We don’t advertise ridiculous discounts, bogus percentages off, and advertise blow out prices in places like Craig’s List.
Look for stores that guarantee everyday lowest prices on Like, Similar, or Comparable mattress sets. Truthfully isn’t that what everyone really wants? The finest quality built mattress for the absolute guaranteed best price? They will dare you to shop and compare pricing to wholesale mattress stores, warehouse mattress stores, and discount mattress stores and tell you if they can’t beat it, they’ll buy it for you because they want to reveal that competitors deals are not deals at all and are nothing more than trickery and marketing genius.

Know if your getting the best deal?

First do your homework after all he who studies passes the test. Lets face it we don’t buy mattresses everyday we will be tested by the salespeople who claim to sell wholesale, and most will school us right out of our hard earned money. Truth is most people don’t know the difference between wholesale and retail pricing or they wouldn’t fall for such sly marketing tactics.

Things to know, look for, & do when mattress shopping

• Sealy Serta, Simmons & other manufacturers who build mattresses and then sell them wholesale to licensed retailers. There are very few companies that build mattresses and sell them to the public and to my knowledge none that do it for wholesale prices.
• Watch for stores that focus only on prices, saving, and bells and whistles.
• When stores claim 50% 60% even 75% compared to, or off of retail prices ask for proof. Ask to see receipts and shop the stores they claim to be selling the comparative model and for how much. In other words see if their telling the truth and call their bluff.
• Consumer Reports found that comparing mattress is extremely hard. Insist on apples to apples comparisons; ask for specification sheets that reveal exactly what the bed was built with and then do the same for mattress models they have compared their prices too.
• Watch for cunning store names that imply big savings. Such practices doesn’t make them cheaper, it only makes them crafty marketers. Examples: places that use words like wholesale, warehouse, outlet, discount, bargain, some companies even suggest that we save more money by them only being open certain days of the week.

We all want to believe we’re saving big money but no one just gives their money away and stores that claim to sell for wholesale are no different. So called mattress wholesalers are not going to under cut other mattress retailers by hundreds or even thousands of dollars because it doesn’t make good business since to give a way profits.
Our suggestion is to walk away and think about it, other deals and perhaps the one you were just offered will most likely still be there tomorrow. You need to research the claims of massive saving. Stores that are legit won’t mind and your wallet won’t either.

I find Twitter fascinating and recently I was having a blast playing with a tool called Twitter Grader. Recently I scored an 85 out of 100 and wanted to know how I could improve my score. I continued my adventure by running numerous popular and not so popular usernames. Finally after a while boredom set in and began to wander what else I could do with Twitter Grader. So I started gazing at the drop down menus only to find a world of information at my fingertips. Like any grown boy I began to play around with it and here is what I learned.

I discovered one drop down menu titled Twitter Elite. My interest was piqued and my curiosity grew only to locate something called Top Users by Location. So I searched various cities including my hometown Arnold and a couple others. Having a beginner level of SEO knowledge I began to input a variety of spellings like St. Louis and then Saint Louis, which gave differing results while Missouri and MO shared identical search results.

I had to tell someone, so I went to Twitter with my experiment and hoped other geeks like me would find it interesting. I wondered if anyone was as geeky as this small town mattress store guy looking to get noticed.  Would anyone even give it a look?

When I ran the test for “MO” I got the same results as “Missouri”

After posting the last of my 3 tweets at 7:57am my first response came from @schlafly. Within 2 hours I was honored to have two of the people on the very list I put up following me @thescottbishop @threefourteen (and a gigantic thank you by the way). However my experiment wasn’t complete and I wondered if any of the Social Media geeks would pick it up. One almost did a wife, blogger, self proclaimed geek, and power mom @robynsworld called me out in a respectful way as we would expect from any Twitter Elite Leader by tweeting.

“@STLBeds Interesting how you have multiple tweets of different people as the “top 5″ – don’t spam us, just interact instead.

Now robynsworld didn’t thrash or trash me, she merely treated me with respect and explained to me what the social media rules are. Thanks to classes like @TechLH teaches, I hope I was able to stay with in those unwritten guidelines. I was also able to recognise the different SEO search results for St. and Saint and the same results for Missouri and MO that went over the pros heads and not mine for a change.

Thank you everyone. I benefit and learn from your many educational links and blogs about SEO and Twitter and other forms of Social Media so keep the tweets coming and would appreciate your follow!
