Partnerships with Furniture Retailers and Contractors

Furniture retailers and contractors often form trade partnerships that give professionals access to special pricing, sourcing support, and project coordination. In Canada, examples include Jag’s Furniture, which offers trade discounts to qualified architects, designers, registered home builders, and registered contractors, and West Bros Furniture, which provides trade and contract sales with preferred pricing and support for designers, developers, architects, and contractors.

These partnerships typically work in one of two ways:

• Retail/trade programs: retailers sell to qualified professionals at discounted rates and may assign a dedicated contact for project needs.
• Procurement or supplier networks: companies help designers and contractors source products, manage logistics, and coordinate delivery, receiving, and warehousing.

For furniture retailers, partnering with contractors can help them reach residential, commercial, hospitality, and multi-family projects, while contractors benefit from access to curated products, reliable pricing, and smoother fulfillment. Industry commentary also notes that involving dealers earlier in the process can improve coordination around product fit, pricing, and lead times.
