Description

Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Companies in this industry sell household, outdoor, and office furniture; as well as furniture sold in combination with home appliances or home furnishings. Major companies include Ashley HomeStore, Crate & Barrel, Raymour & Flanigan, RH (formerly Restoration Hardware), Rooms To Go, and Williams-Sonoma (all based in the US), as well as ASIAN DAVINCI TRADING COMPANY (China), HOLA Home Furnishings (Taiwan), and IKEA (Sweden).

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Household furniture sales are closely linked to home sales; office furniture sales are linked to employment growth and new business formations. The profitability of furniture stores depends on merchandising and marketing. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in purchasing and distribution. Small companies can compete effectively by specializing. The US industry is concentrated: the 50 largest companies generate about 50% of revenue.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

Major products include indoor home furniture (64%); mattresses, box springs, and air mattresses (18%); office equipment and furniture (3%); and outdoor or patio furniture (3%). Most retail furniture stores sell a broad range of products, but some concentrate on one furniture type, such as mattresses, sofas, or outdoor, office or children's furniture. Store operations involve sales management, merchandising (deciding which products to sell), inventory management, and (sometimes) credit financing.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
