The Secret Is Out!
Did you know that according to the U.S. census bureau, almost half of every dollar you spend on home furnishings in retail does not go toward the furniture and accessories you just bought. It goes into the retailer’s pocket. Retail stores can have a gross margin of 43.3% on any items they sell.
Now you know the truth. Stop buying retail and start buying the DirectBuy way.

Ways To Buy Merchandise:
Retail Stores: |
These stores keep the customer in the dark about how much the markup really is. There may not be a membership, but there's a significant markup on each item purchased. This way of buying is for those who don't mind paying a higher price because they can't plan ahead or just don't know how much things are really marked up. |

Warehouse Clubs: Membership Fee |
One of the reasons warehouse clubs can mark their prices down is because they've recouped some money they need to stay in business with their membership fees. This model may provide some reward for people who plan ahead, but selection is very limited. It often contains closeouts or one of a kind items. And it still keeps the consumer in the dark about how much their markup really is. |

DirectBuy Membership |
With a DirectBuy membership, you are guaranteed no retail markup. At DirectBuy, you are no longer in the dark about what something really costs. As a member, you know how the business is run, and that you're paying the actual price from the manufacturer plus shipping and handling. You buy only name-brand, first run, current merchandise and have access to the complete manufacturer's product line in most cases. This is our model. It works best for people who plan ahead and are willing to invest a little to get a lot in return. |
Open House Tours
We know you have a lot of questions, like, "How does DirectBuy membership
work?" And, "How much does it cost?" That's why we have Open
Houses, to answer your questions, and show you first-hand how DirectBuy membership
can work for your family.
At the Open House, information about the savings, member services, and extensive selection of brand-name merchandise our members have access to is described in great detail, so you can make the most informed decision about whether DirectBuy is right for you. Once you're a member, you're welcome to stop by our showroom any time.
During your visit, you'll find that DirectBuy carries name brands that you simply won't see discounted in retail stores or anywhere else. Some retailers view the pricing structure we receive from those brands as "unfair," and if provoked, may lobby with those manufacturers to discontinue doing business with DirectBuy.
Our manufacturers trust that we will not allow our showrooms to be used as public libraries where consumers can research a manufacturer's price and use that to try to negotiate with a retail store. For that reason, please understand that becoming a DirectBuy member requires your choice at the Open House you attend.
We promise that your visit to DirectBuy will be informative and enjoyable - we'll give you ample time to explore all the benefits of membership and answer any questions you may have.
