How Our Trade Discounts Empower Designers to Win More Client Bids
Posted by Josh Lorg on Nov 12th 2025
At J Thomas Home, we know that great design isn’t just about creativity, it’s about precision, timing, and value. When you’re bidding on a client project, every detail counts. The ability to deliver stunning results while staying within budget often determines whether your proposal wins the job. That’s exactly why our Trade Program was created, to empower interior designers, architects, contractors, and property managers to do more with every dollar and stand out from the competition.
A Partnership Built for Design Professionals
Our Trade Program was designed for busy professionals who need both flexibility and reliability. Whether you’re sourcing custom floating shelves for a kitchen remodel or acoustic slat wall panels for a high-end office space, we provide the pricing, production speed, and personalized support to help you deliver excellence every time.
Members enjoy exclusive discounts ranging from 10% to 20%, depending on annual spend levels. Intro members receive a 10% discount, Pro members 15%, and VIP members 20% on all orders over $25,000 annually. These savings add up quickly, helping you create more competitive bids without compromising quality or craftsmanship.
Competitive Pricing That Strengthens Your Bids
We take pride in manufacturing our products right here in the U.S. at our high-tech facility in Olathe, Kansas. This ensures exceptional consistency and quality across every piece we produce, from our solid wood floating shelves to our precision-cut slat wall panels. Because we handle production directly, we maintain competitive pricing across our entire line.
That cost efficiency becomes your advantage. When you present your client with a design proposal that includes J Thomas Home products, you’re offering custom, American-made craftsmanship at a price that helps your bid shine. Instead of cutting corners to stay under budget, our trade discounts let you deliver premium materials and finishes while keeping your project profitable.
Fast, Reliable Shipping for Confident Scheduling
We know deadlines can make or break a project. That’s why we’ve invested in a streamlined fulfillment process that delivers 99.2% on-time shipping with less than 1% product damage. Our standard lead times are among the fastest in the industry—sample kits ship within one business day, slat wall panels in two, and custom shelves within ten.
By keeping production and logistics under one roof, we minimize delays and help you maintain confidence in your project timeline. This reliability can be the deciding factor when clients compare bids; they’ll see not just your design vision, but your ability to deliver results on time.
Personalized Support When You Need It Most
We don’t believe in automated messages or endless wait times. Every member of our Trade Program gets access to dedicated live phone and email support from our expert customer care team. Whether you’re finalizing specs for a large commercial order or need advice on the best mounting hardware for a specific wall type, we’re here to help, often within hours, not days.
That level of support extends beyond order management. Our team collaborates with trade professionals to find the right solutions for each project. From providing discounted sample kits to answering detailed installation questions, we ensure you have everything you need to win your client’s trust and deliver exceptional results.
Designed for Growth and Professional Advantage
Our Trade Program isn’t just about discounts, it’s about helping your business grow. We want you to feel confident taking on more ambitious projects, knowing you have a partner who supports your success from concept to install. As your annual spend increases, your discounts automatically grow with you, unlocking even greater savings and faster access to premium materials.
And because we specialize in both residential and commercial applications, our trade partners can confidently bid on a wide range of jobs, from boutique retail interiors to multi-unit residential developments. With J Thomas Home, you have the design versatility to meet any client’s needs with products that are both functional and visually striking.
