Wholesale Home

Welcome!
Carruth Studio prides itself on supporting our wholesale vendors. We have assembled a collection of tools and ideas to help you sell Carruth designs (see below). To shop the site, browse the product category links (which show wholesale pricing while you are logged in) or use the search function.

Tools and Ideas for Successful Wholesalers:

• Get a Carruth display unit (A proper display is key - In our retail stores, we sell $750-$1,000/square foot annually - of which 90% is Carruth). Use names, stories, signage - adds value and increases sales!
• Display unit
• Price labels with MSRP (a Word document that can be modified as you wish)
• Price labels without pricing
• Complete product information (Excel file containing names, sizes, prices, UPCs, story-like descriptions, etc.)
• Signage of George Carruth
• Purple sign of George
• The Work of George Carruth/Made in the USA
• George Carruth Bio
   
• Effective merchandising: grouping together (it is essential to have enough product to make a statement), color contrast, themes, best sellers, seasonal. Display ideas: candles, floral arrangement, gift baskets. Sell these accessories
