There’s nothing like finding something new that adds a touch of style and comfort to your home, especially when you know you won’t find it in every other house on the block. That’s why so many home furnishings retailers turn to Faire to source unique products for their customers and why the HFA is partnering with Faire to make it easier for you to discover new products and brands. With more than 100,000 independent brands across the globe—including thousands of home decor, furniture, design, and gift brands—you can easily find products that complement your store’s identity and keep your customers coming back to see what’s new. Faire also offers benefits like free returns on opening orders, 60-day payment terms for eligible retailers, POS integrations to simplify reordering, exclusive virtual trade shows, advanced search tools, and personalized recommendations for new home furnishings that appeal to your customer base.
Faire’s mission is to empower retailers to strengthen the unique character of local communities by fueling the growth of entrepreneurs like you. Here are just a few of the ways that Faire can make stocking your store and running your business easy, joyful, and effective.
Discover thousands of brands as unique as your store
Faire makes it easy to discover unique home decor and furnishings without making a huge commitment. Here’s how:
Low order minimums and free returns
While many of the brands in the home decor and furnishings space have order minimums of $2,000 or more, most of the brands on Faire have much lower minimum-order quantities—typically just $200 or $300. This makes it easier to try new products and brands without as much risk.
Nessa from Souk Bō’hēmian says this has helped her diversify her store and introduce new “stories” to her customers. “We often go back and place bigger orders, but that low barrier to entry gives us the freedom to explore,” she says.
Faire also offers free returns on any first order you place with a brand. This eliminates another risk of trying new products and brands, and makes it easier to offer your customers something new.
“The return policy also makes trying new things feel safe,” according to Nessa. “I rarely return, but just knowing I could—that I’m not stuck—helps.”
Thousands of easy-to-browse unique home furnishings
Joining Faire is easy and free for retailers, so you can start browsing and buying home furnishings from brands across the United States, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Australia right away. You can discover specific items such as tables, chairs, sofas, bookshelves, desks, beds, and dressers, depending on what you need most in your shop, and further narrow your search using aesthetic-driven keywords to find different colors, materials, and styles. From ultra-modern to vintage vibes, there’s something for everyone. You can also choose to keep it local or discover international goods by filtering based on location. And if budget is top of mind, it’s easy to filter products based on price range. Simply select the “All Filters” button on the left side of the screen to narrow your search on Faire.
Get the best value
There are several ways to get the best value when shopping wholesale on Faire, including 60-day payment terms, Faire Insider membership, and Faire Markets.
Net 60 terms
Faire’s 60-day payment terms for eligible retailers make it possible to shop from thousands of home furnishings, decor, design, and gift brands and pay up to 60 days later—interest-free. With this kind of spending power, you can always keep your shop stocked with bestsellers alongside new merchandise without breaking the bank. You will likely find yourself selling out of products before even paying for them.
Insider
As a Faire Insider member, you can enjoy access to free shipping on thousands of brands, early access to the best deals of the year at Faire Markets (our virtual trade shows), and phone support if you’d like a Faire team member to talk you through issues or answer questions. And if you’re not sure if it’s right for your business, you can sign up and get a free trial of Insider to see how well it works.
For Nessa at Souk Bō’hēmian, Faire Insider’s free shipping makes it more cost-effective to regularly restock her shop and keep the inventory fresh. “I’ve been an Insider from the start,” says Nessa. “It lets me put more money back into the product instead of weighing whether shipping costs make something feasible. That makes a real impact.”
Markets
Faire Markets offer an alternative to traditional wholesale trade shows without the costs associated with attending an in-person trade show. Faire Markets can help you build relationships with independent brands across the globe while accessing the best deals of the season, plus we match all discounts up to 5%. If you’re an Insider member, you also get to shop the market a day early.
Our past events have saved retailers more than $104 million and created over 727,000 new relationships between brands and retailers.
Simplify order management
Time is precious when you’re running a retail business. “Sourcing is a full-time job,” says Nessa from Souk Bō’hēmian. “Traveling, shipping, coordinating—as a small business, you’re already doing ten jobs in one.”
That’s why Faire streamlines the order management process with an all-in-one platform. This allows you to focus more on interacting with customers, promoting your shop, keeping your sales floor looking sharp, and other valuable tasks.
Easy order-building tools
With Faire, you can save all your favorite brands and products to boards for easy reordering, quickly message brands from the same platform where you place orders, and save items from multiple brands in your cart until you’re ready to place an order.
“Faire lets me sit down and curate everything in real time, right from one search engine,” says Nessa. “I use my Favorites as vision boards and build out collections I want to bring into the shop.”
Point-of-sale integrations
Faire’s Shopify integration streamlines reordering so you can keep your bestsellers in stock and replenish out-of-stock items without wasting time. To access this integration as a Faire retailer, you simply download the Shopify sales channel app.
“If I’m low on something, Faire shows me exactly how many units I have left while I’m reordering,” says Nessa. “It’s been a huge help when customers are asking for something specific.”
Stores and teams
Faire for teams offers a number of benefits for store owners. As a Faire account owner, you can add up to 50 team members to your store’s account to save time and run your business more efficiently. Team members can then help shop, respond to messages from brands, download or pay invoices, and source product information for your website or marketing materials. Each team member has an individual login and is assigned a role and permissions, and you can easily share responsibilities with team members or partners while maintaining visibility into everything your team is doing on Faire.
