Save Money on Blinds by Ordering Through the Manufacturer

Buying blinds in bulk can become quite pricey, especially when you’re paying third party overhead to a chain store. While buying blinds from hardware stores, department stores, or warehouses may seem like the easiest solution, it’s actually no easier than ordering direct and will cost you a lot more money. If you want to save money on blinds, you need to order through the manufacturer. Let’s take a look at why this is the best solution for buying blinds in bulk.

Get Everything You Need

One of the first benefits we can see right away from ordering directly from the manufacturer is the ability to get everything you need right from one place. Big box stores will only buy and sell the blinds they think suit their consumer base. That means you, the consumer, can miss out on some great designs that are perfect for what you need. When you order from the manufacturer (that’s us!) you can choose from all kinds of designs, choosing what’s right for you and not settling on less.

Specific to bulk buying, shopping from the manufacturer comes with another major perk. Big box stores will only carry as many blinds as they reasonably expect to sell in a short period of time. If they don’t sell blinds very fast, they won’t have many available.

If you’re outfitting the windows of an entire office building, you’re going to run a big box store out of blinds in no time. Don’t wait on them to restock before buying the rest, all for an inflated price. Get all the blinds you need from Domir, right out the gate.

Cut Out Third Party Costs

One of the most compelling reasons to buy from the manufacturer is that it saves you a significant amount of money. When a big box store sells blinds, or anything else, they have to raise the price to accommodate for employee paychecks. That means you could be paying tens, hundreds, or even thousands more on large orders, all to line the pockets of third party management.

Because Domir is the company providing these blinds to big box stores, we don’t need to inflate their price. Our profit comes directly from selling you our product. So, skip the overpriced blinds at your local hardware store and put in an order with Domir instead.

Get Direct Delivery

When bulk ordering for a large building, buying blinds from a brick and mortar shop can be a hassle. Moving large amounts of blinds may require a truck or many trips to and from the store. Ordering from Domir means you can get direct delivery, right to the building your blinds belong in. Cut out the unnecessary transportation efforts and make your order quick, easy, and cost effective.

Department Store Blinds for Shop Windows

Want to take your department store look to the next level? It’s time to look into department store blinds. Putting high quality blinds in your shop windows can really improve curb appeal, bringing in new customers very effectively. But, not all blinds are equal. Let’s break down department store blinds options and see which ones are the best choice for you and your store.

Consider Your Audience

The first step in choosing the right department store blinds is knowing your audience. What kind of consumers are you trying to attract? Do you want customers who are looking for the next great deal? Or, are you searching for shoppers with a higher budget? What kind of shoppers you’re trying to attract makes a huge difference when it comes to display styles. After all, the window of a store is the first thing people see. And what you see is what you get, right?

Let’s look at some of the ways you can outfit your shop windows and what these methods say about the contents of your store.

Advertisement

When your department store specializes in great deals, closeouts, and bargains, advertisement is the way to go. A shop window with merchandise displayed with no advertisements is going to look more professional, high class, and expensive. Therefore, if you want to draw in people looking for a deal, you need to put that deal front and center.

This is easy to do with print on blinds. Print on blinds are simple shades that can be pulled down over a window. They have a printed design on the outside that’s easy to see from the shop exterior when pulled down to display. Print on blinds are a great opportunity for printing your store logo, popular brands you offer, and great deals that you regularly offer. 

Window Shopping

If you’re more interested in showing off products than numbers, having blinds that work to frame and draw attention to your merchandise is a necessity. Cheap, metal, slatted blinds may be affordable, but they’re overly cheap looking and promise a run-down interior. Instead, opt for something like honeycomb blinds. This blinds can be kept partially down during the day to block out unwanted sunlight while remaining raised enough to reveal displays to passers by. 

Plus, if you opt for motorized blinds, you can put them down the rest of the way when the store is closed. Closed blinds and curtains during closing hours is a great way to prevent robbery. That’s because burglars are less likely to risk breaking in when they aren’t sure the shop is vacant.

Beautiful Backdrop

Last, but not least, let’s talk about our more expensive display styles. If you’re looking for high-paying customers, you need to offer high-paying appeal. This is where sheer vertical blinds come in. Mounting sheer vertical blinds a couple of feet from your window provides a gorgeous backdrop for pricey window displays. 

Put out your best manikins with this summer’s hottest outfits, next spring’s bridal trends, or pedestals of name brand bags. Sheer vertical blinds will block out all of the interior shop distractions and allow your potential guests to focus on what matters: the promise of something wonderful inside.
