The Home Personal Shopper, a new and interesting professional, runs to our aid, e ben presto il mondo dell’arredamento non potrà più farne a meno.

We find out in detail what it is!

WHO ' - Imported by the U.S. (where it is now known from the Eighties), l’Home Shopper è un mix tra Art Buyer e Personal Shopper. Sometimes a designer or architect is ready to try out this new hot activities, but basically it is a lover of furniture, why it is constantly updated on trends and news interesting. Good taste, industry knowledge, competenza nella vendita e capacità organizzative sono doti fondamentali di questa eclettica figura.

Clearly has a good network of contacts and professionals (the mason all'imbianchino, electrician, plumber, the plasterboard is, ecc…) as well as a direct line to retailers, showroom e produttori d’arredamento.

E 'a consultant, a guide, a buyer (o Purchasing Manager), a trusted aid, a real “angelo custode” to trust to avoid going crazy while trying to simultaneously deal with family, casa e lavoro.

WHAT WE DO – Interpreting the tastes and needs of the client the Home Shopper search, identifies and compares the items most likely to satisfy, and is dedicated to all the activities necessary to purchase (from the collection of quotes and samples, to visit the store, the selection of suppliers, Order Confirmation, organization of the delivery and / or assembly, the resolution of any issues). L’Home Shopper, dunque:

• Provides furnishing advice all-round, dando al cliente tutte le informazioni utili alla conclusione dell’acquisto.
• It sells arredamento, well as to assist and guide clients through the entire buying process, sino all’ organizzazione delle fasi di consegna e montaggio.
• It does not replace him in the choice, dunthereforea soltanto nell’espletamento di tutte quelle pratiche necessarie a concludere l’acquisto stesso.
• But not without the customer's pleasure of decorating your home (he can freely view the products to compare and / or participate in the visits of stores).

AUDIENCE the Home Shopper - Anyone can contact the Home Shopper, to buy a single piece of furniture (a sofa, a table, una Lampada, ecc… ), the furnishing of a room (a kitchen, a bathroom, a contemporary ...) or the whole house. The services of 'Home Shopper, o Home Personal Shopper etc. ... prefers to be called to focus on personalized service), are directed mainly to the private, but they can also help to ownerstheof small accommodation (B&B o agriturismi) or small businesses that prefer not to specifically market contract (generally more standardized).

I ADVANTAGES deriving dall'affidarsi to a Home Shopper are multiple:

• The objectivity and customization of service - each store has its own reference brands and trusted suppliers, therefore offering a single point of sale is usually more limited and less objective; l’home shopper, on the contrary, will search based on the tastes, on the needs and requests of the client (and of course your budget), indipendentemente dal marchio/negozio selezionato.
• The experience and knowledge offers an industry professional - you need to select the items, include estimates, confrontare le proposte e giungere alla decisione d’acquisto migliore.
• The possibility to choose between many brands and showrooms Although it may interface with one person (trusted);
• The possibility of delegate any hassles and problems linked to the provision of non-conforming goods, to delays in delivery, etc.… Chi ha arredato casa o lo sta facendo sa bene che non si tratta di casi così rari.
• The opportunity to avoid a significant loss of time and energy, godendosi il proprio tempo libero mentre qualcuno si occupa di tutto il resto.

I COSTS the service of home Shopper are impossible to estimate a priori, just as personalizedIand tailored. But keep in mind that the intervention of this figure should be a help to the customer, and a means for buy better, also in terms of price. The cost of the service is then generally offset by the reduction in price of the item that you are going to buy (since, thanks to the Home Shopper the customer will purchase with discounts generally higher).

In its original conception, The Home Shopper is paid by private that appoints the, and does not receive percentages from the stores (this would render impartial and objective).

Do not forget, however, that this figure to the shop (showroom or producer who is) serves as a potential showcase, whereby will be "spoiled" and treated with a certain respect compared to a single buyer, both in terms of price and in terms of service before- e post-vendita.

The Home Personal Shopper therefore arises as an ideal meeting point between the end user and the manufacturer or dealer, and although in our country is not yet well known, sarà ben presto apprezzato e richiesto.
