Author's investigation: Travel more and save 1,400 yuan per roll
When I heard that the author had nearly 200 square meters of wallpaper in his home, a building materials store in the east of Nanjing The owner of the wallpaper store is quite enthusiastic. She diligently introduced nearly a hundred varieties of wallpapers in the store, and a large collection of wallpaper sample books was piled in front of the author: from the pattern point of view, the wallpapers mainly include dark flowers, stripes, vine patterns, Chinese elements, animal cartoons, The green exterior scenes are dazzling.
When the author expressed interest in a wallpaper with crystal-like particles embedded in it, the shop owner praised the author’s good eyesight and said that the wallpaper was imported from the United States and had been treated to be moisture-proof, mildew-proof, and fire-proof. The price is 850 yuan per square meter, and the minimum price is one roll (each roll is 0.70 meters × 10.05 meters), and each roll is about 5,950 yuan. The author copied down the model and material of this wallpaper and went to a decoration city in Jiangning to compare it. The price of the same wallpaper was only 650 yuan per square meter. It can also be discounted, so each roll is about 4550 yuan. . In this way, I traveled more miles and saved 1,400 yuan on the price of each roll.
The designer gets the price difference and gets a 20% rebate
In a decoration city in the north of Nanjing, after less than half an hour of dealing with it, the author became "familiar" with a wallpaper seller ". The author pretended to be the design director of a home decoration company and had several big orders on hand. The seller said with a smile: "As long as you bring the customer to your door, or the customer comes and mentions your name, the rebate is guaranteed to make you happy." Regarding a piece of straw wallpaper, the author chatted with the seller. According to reports, it is a kind of wallpaper made of natural plants such as grass, hemp, wood, leaves, etc. It has good air permeability and its most outstanding feature is that it is simple and natural. The seller said in a clear tone: "To the owner, the product is all German. In fact, it is produced in a factory in southern Jiangsu. The price is 560 yuan per square meter. How much does the owner want to charge? You can just call me in advance. After the purchase, we will give you a 20% rebate per square meter."
Based on the seller's conditions, the author made a rough calculation and found that this kind of wallpaper costs 660 yuan per square meter, which is regarded as " "Conscientious trading", plus a 20% rebate, a roll of 7 square meters, you can earn a net profit of 1,484 yuan without any effort.
The difference between the ex-factory price and the sales price is more than ten times
“I plan to be an agent for your products in the Nanjing market. How much is the agency price for me per volume?” The author learned from the Internet I saw a company in Zhejiang claiming that after 15 years of steady development, it has become a large-scale manufacturer of natural fiber wallpaper in China. According to the company's investment advertisement, the author had a phone call with the manufacturer and was told that the conditions for being an agent in the Nanjing market are: the first batch of purchases should not be less than 150,000 yuan, and for every 100,000 yuan of goods purchased starting from the second batch, 1.5 will be returned Ten thousand yuan is used as market promotion and development expenses. If you are interested, you are welcome to visit the factory for inspection.
Asked about the specific agency price per square meter, a person in charge named Wu gave an example of a fresh and simple wood fiber wallpaper produced by their company, "the ex-factory price is 20 yuan per square meter." , no one will say anything if you just sell it for 240 yuan in the market. "The profit of more than ten times is just like that. No wonder an insider revealed to the author that many wallpaper dealers can still make money by selling to customers at a 50% discount! The basin is overflowing.
Consumer Tips: To be "independent", you must also "shop around"
General consumers will feel particularly confused when they go to the building materials city to buy wallpaper and face the colorful products. , the price of a roll ranges from tens to thousands of yuan, but you may not be able to see any difference between the expensive ones and the cheap ones. In this regard, a professional suggested that before purchasing, consumers can ask people who have decorated the wallpaper for information such as wallpaper quality and price. When buying, be more attentive and spend more time, walk more, look more, and compare shopping, which will reduce the chance of being ripped off. In addition, you must be assertive and don't trust the designer's recommendation. It is best to go to the decoration and building materials city to buy it by yourself, which reduces the possibility of the designer "taking kickbacks."
This professional also suggested that you can choose the appropriate pattern and color for wallpaper according to your own aesthetic habits, and do not follow the trend. When choosing wallpaper, you must not only consider its aesthetics, but also consider its environmental protection and safety performance. From a health perspective, it is best to choose natural fiber wallpaper.
