How am I supposed to market wood furniture?
December 16, 2009
How can I market such wood furniture as solid wood doors, cabinets, frames etc. What kind of people or businesses would buy a relatively large quantity of them. Who often buy these commodities? Thanks.

Check with your local lumber suppliers to see if they might carry your product or maybe at least supply info for your product to their customers. If your product meets specific quality controls and you do have sufficient quantities then maybe a larger chain such as home depot might be interested.
how about flea markets.to get the product out there and be seen
Why not try approaching shops who would display them for you on a sale or return basis?
Just offer them a percentage of the purchase price.
You could advertise online -such as solidwood.com for example. A lot of people who are renovating older homes want solid wood products because most everything on the market is garbage. Of course, they need to pay you for your expertise and superior knowledge. And don’t forget to add in the fuel surcharge.
Take pictures of your products, before and after installation. Post on web site pages.
Find local construction contractors or go to major cities with lots of houses.
Go to local Home Depot, take your pictures, compare at the back with your price, show Managers, they might like and take you up the chain faster.
Lowes, local lumber shops, etc.
Show local interior designers your works. Post pictures and prices at Fabric stores.
Major Markets, major home builders, around the country.
We have "Greensheet" free papers, send pix and prices to all contractors, to all papers you find.
