About Retail Blackbook
Retail Blackbook is Company who provides a new way to purchase home furnishings and products. We are a family-owned business whose main mission is to exceed our customers’ expectations by providing them access to our unlimited supplies of products to make their homes as warm, stylish, and comfortable at the most affordable prices. Our members are allowed access to purchase ALL the same top of the line name brand products that you would see in a traditional retail store.
The difference is we offer these products at substantially lower prices. In many cases, the cost will be 50% lower than typical “Sale” prices you see advertisements for on television and in the newspapers. How are we able to do this? Well for starters, we know people. What we mean by that, is we have spent over 20 years building relationships and partnerships with hundreds of sales reps and companies to develop this very unique and exclusive club. We don’t try to make a profit on anything we sell. We earn our money through selling memberships. The prices we offer our members are in essence, the raw wholesale “cost” plus the freight. In addition, we add a small commission percentage to each piece. If you appreciate finer things for your home, you’ve come to the right place!
WHAT IS RETAIL BLACKBOOK?
Think of us as a hybrid between Amazon (online marketplace) and a membership to Costco (low prices). And even though we don’t have a selection as large as Amazon, our prices our lower than Costco.
Retail Blackbook is an exclusive, and private membership-based buying club for furniture and home furnishings. We provide our members a way for our members to save thousands of dollars when buying high quality, name brand home furnishings directly from the actual manufacturers.
The typical mark up for a retail furniture store is 2-2.5 times the actual raw cost that they paid from the manufacturer. Meaning for example that if an item was produced and sold to a retailer for $1,000, then that retailer would re-sell it for between $2,000-$2500. (and most often mark it “On Sale”)
We’re the opposite of a traditional furniture store – we earn our money by selling memberships and therefore only require marking-up our prices a few percentage points just to recoup our costs for the furniture, order management, and truck unloading. All the rest of the “extra profit” is then passed right back to our members.
It’s a new way to sell furniture. In fact, even though, we don’t even like to say we “sell furniture”. We prefer to say, our members “have access to buy furniture … at wholesale prices”. This takes the stress of it all away. We’re not really making any money on the furniture, so there’s no fear of feeling pressured into buying anything, just helpful recommendations while providing you with a ton of great options!

WHERE CAN YOU SHOP FOR PRODUCTS?
- Our website: RetailBlackbook.com We are slowly adding more and more products to our website, however these are only a small sampling of what we have (less than 1% of what’s available).
- Vender Websites, Catalogs & Look Books: All the vendors we work with provide their own catalogs showcasing the products that they manufacturer and sell. The benefit of these catalogs is they act as your own interior designer because the typically photograph their products in beautiful group settings. This allows you to save hours on searching for matching complimentary pieces and matching accessories.
- Social Media: We are adding more collections each week to our own Retail Blackbook Facebook and Instagram pages, but our venders keep their own pages very up to date with their newest introductions and product assortments.
- Find something online: Because we have access to so many products and visit so many venders showrooms each year, you can simply just reach out to us and provide a picture and even more helpful the name of the manufacturer, serial number, model number, etc. We try to locate that or a similar item to get you a price quote. In some cases, we may be able to establish an account with the actual manufacturer and buy direct that way.
