ASK and YOU will receieve...DISCOUNTS

Most of you know about Pier1 Imports and their 20% discount but World Market also offers a 10% discount. Home Fabric and Rugs also offers a 10% discount.

In my community I have many (8) local merchants that give me discounts. I ask every store manager that I purchase products from because it has never been posted about any discounts. I have a carpet company that I receive 15% of the retail price of the carpet that he installs from my referrals. At the lighting store it is the same as well as my painting company that I use.

Every discount that you take advantage of pays off at the end of the year...so just ask for the discount and you will be surprised how many will say yes!

Karel ~ I'm with you! I always ask. The worst they can say is no.

Hi Karel, I'm surprisaed more poeple don't ask about trade discounts. Shyness isn't an asset in biz. Just ask and the worst they can say is no. On the other hand, you might end up with an ongoing hefty discount.

Karel, and to add to that Old Time Pottery gives us our purchases at wholesale if we purchase $100 or more.

Karel- Thanks for reminding me that I am passing up on one of the great perks of our job! Next time..I'll ask!!!

Karel,

If you don't ask you won't get.....good for you.

Add Great Indoors to your list! There are MANY MANY more I have discovered. Ripe for the asking. Was not aware of World Market. Will have to sign up! Thanks

Karel, I agree....you don't know until you ask. Thanks.

Absolutely love and regularly use the discount at Pier 1. I didn't realize World Market offered a discount and will definitely take advantage of that - thanks. Can't hurt to ask!
