Contract Pricing

When it comes to decorating Innkeepers have a variety of tastes and variations of themes. Whether it is antiques, reproductions or new furniture, it has to be of high quality. There is a way to purchase high quality furniture at lower pricing. It is called "contract pricing". Simply identify a manufacturer of furniture that you like and proceed to their website for information on how to contact them via telephone. When contacting the company, ask to speak with the department that handles contract pricing. When you have arrived at the correct department, advise them that you are an Innkeeper and ask them if they provide contract pricing for Inns. This usually results in purchasing furniture directly from the company at significant savings. This worked for us when we were Innkeepers. The manufacturer we worked with was Hickory Chair. We managed to purchase a $4,800 bedframe at a cost of $1,600. Happy shopping!
