I actually sell furniture online and have done so for the last 17 years
I have had a number of shops all in different locations, sadly covid closed my final store. Selling furniture is hard. Sofas even harder, that’s why I don’t bother too much with them, there is far too much competition from for example DFS who have captured the market so why wait time and effort trying to compete
People live in all kinds of properties and you would not believe the amount of customers that do not measure correctly so the sofas can’t even fit into their house, or its not what they expected or not comfy enough for them
The customers you attract buying sofas are the usual Insta Huns ,attracting customers spreading the cost over god knows how many years buying sofas online paying weekly, having poor credit rating and I can see this is what the sofa company does try and sell
I know where the sofa company buys their sofas from, personally I don’t use them and wouldn’t
They are a suppliers that are ten a penny in the North East, like those beds you see everyone advertising, again another product popular with Insta huns
personally I would not purchase a sofa that I have not seen and sat on and that is coming from me and I do sell sofas
also just to say that the furniture / interiors business is literally on it’s arse, sales are dropping at an alarming rate month by month, people in the next few months will prefer to be warm and eat rather buy a new sofa
so finally I would say that this ‘collaboration’ is not going to bring in fuck all income for her and its a vanity project
She does not really need to get
