Interior Design Business

Financially Sustainable Design Business Part 1


Listen Later

A beautiful portfolio doesn’t guarantee a profitable business.

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m kicking off a multi-part series on building a financially sustainable design business. Today’s focus? Understanding how to separate your design services from product sales, and why clinging to retail vendors and discount pricing is keeping you stuck.

If you want to create a business that pays you consistently, covers your team and tools, and leaves room to grow, this is where you start.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What it really means to have a financially sustainable business
  • Why designers must separate services from product sales
  • The hidden cost of using Pottery Barn and Wayfair
  • How vendor discounts work, and how to use them profitably
  • Why retail pricing isn’t a problem (it’s your solution)
