Trade Tales: Ask Us Anything
Meagan Camp joins the Trade Tales podcast to answer a question from a fellow interior designer navigating a common growing pain: how to streamline procurement while taking on a larger project load. The New York-based designer brings practical, real-world guidance on three things every designer and decorator in the interior design trade eventually has to figure out:
- Building storage costs into client budgets from the start, so receiving and storage fees are never a surprise line item mid-project
- A vetting process for choosing new receivers, for designers who’ve outgrown whatever warehouse they started with
- An organizational system that keeps track of every item, so nothing gets lost between the manufacturer and the client’s home
If you’re scaling your own design business and feel like procurement is starting to outpace your systems, this episode is worth the listen.
