Are you a furniture designer or manufacturer wishing to achieve new heights and scale your business? That’s never been as simple as with MakerNet.
Scaling Your Furniture Making Business Today
The global furniture business is booming now, with thousands of new players, big and small, entering it every day. The reason for such popularity hasn’t changed for the past century — it’s urbanization. People move from rural to urban areas, moving from their house to a flat, and then moving from flat to flat a couple of times in their lifetime. Each flat being unique, the demand for home furniture increases naturally.
In such a booming market, it can be challenging for new designers and manufacturers to standout and launch a successful business amid the fierce competition. But the market develops and evolves together with the consumer’s tastes and preferences. In the times of globalisation and shared economy, the demand for local, out-of-the-ordinary, personalized furniture is increasing exponentially.
These shifts are great opportunities for small-scale designers and manufacturers, but they also bring up new challenges : findinng new ways of communicating with the customers, developing new designs that fit the new desires of customers, developing partnerships with other members of the local and global furniture production community, while taking into account the modern environmental concerns.
