 Most
futons sold on the Internet are sold at a discount price. You will
pay less than you would in a local futon shop. This is because the
Internet-only store does not have the large monthly overhead cost
of a brick and mortar store. Your local futon shop must pay rent
on the store, large heat and electricity bills, insurance on all
the merchandise on the showroom floor, and wages to salespeople,
among other costs, and all these costs continue whether or not they
are making sales. This overhead cost must be passed on to you, the
buyer, in the price you pay. It’s difficult for your local
futon shop to offer highly discount futons, discount futon mattresses,
discount futon covers, or, discount futon beds.
Discount futons are available at the internet-only store because
it doesn’t have the monthly costs of a high-rent space in
a shopping mall or other high-traffic location, the expensive utility
bills that come with a large space, the wages of sales people standing
around waiting for customers to enter the store, who, if they are
lucky, make a purchase. Internet-only stores can pass the savings
directly on to you via discount futons.
A local futon shop might have what you want on the showroom floor
or in the warehouse, if they have one. BUT, there is a downside
to the shop having a futon readily available for you to take home
today or to be delivered tomorrow. Firstly, the numerous futons
you see in the showroom are what cause the overhead costs discussed
above. The more futons the shop has available, the larger is the
store’s inventory. This sitting inventory requires space that
must be rented, and it requires costly insurance against fire, flood,
and other losses. The second downside is limited selection. Think
of how much greater the selection is at Amazon.com compared to your
local bookstore, even if it’s a Barnes and Noble or other
large bookstore. The same difference in selection is true for an
Internet-store and local futon shop. The local futon shop has available
today only the ten, twenty, or even thirty futons it has already
purchased from its suppliers. If you want something not in the store’s
inventory, it must be ordered from the manufacturer. That will take
the same amount of time for delivery as if you purchased it online.
But because of the overhead costs, it will not be nearly as much
of a discount futon as one bought at an Internet-only store. Only
online, and especially at Futonsandbeanbags.com will you find big
discount futons, discount futon mattresses, discount futon covers,
or, discount futon beds.
All Internet futon stores and most local futon shops purchase their
futons frames, futon mattresses, and futon covers from specialized
manufacturers of these items. Internet stores and your local futon
shop purchase their merchandise from the very same manufacturers
and pay the very same wholesale price. This wholesale price is then
marked up to cover all of the overhead and operating costs and provide
a normal profit margin. If a firm has lower overhead it can offer
you discount futons and you will enjoy large savings!
