Tell me about how you started Furniture Dudes.
While a part of the furniture and mattress industry, we noticed a better way to help people get the
things they really want, and we jumped on it.
What's the motto for your business?
"Awesome deals" is one we've used before.
What does a typical day look like for a Furniture Dude?
Working with those who need something immediately and working with others that want to order
items for later. Unloading new items, transferring used items, rearranging inventory, unloading
mattress trucks, scheduling deliveries, and following through with our customers and vendors.
What are you most proud of about your business?
The amount of money we can help people save.
Did you ever get close to failing? If so, what did you do to boost your business back up?
Yes. Change what doesn't work (where we can), stay focused on what's important.
Do you have any advice for entrepreneurs?
Your previous question is a big part of this. I'd be more than happy to ofer advice if anyone out there
is interested (facebook.com/besand).
What has been your best experience with Furniture Dudes?
I learned more working here in my frst year than all 7 years of undergraduate courses in college.
Do you guys do anything for Derby? What are your plans?
We usually keep it causal for Derby. We will not be open that day, I'm planning to attend.
What are the top 3 reasons people should buy from you?
We're super busy, so sometimes we mess up and seriously undercharge people for stuf.
Buy local.
Best prices around.
Describe Furniture Dudes in three words:
Furniture. Mattress. Consignment.
