In an online survey of retailers who carry permanent botanicals, conducted in April at HomeAccentsToday.com, the biggest complaint about carrying them is finding quality looks at wholesale prices that allow for enough retail markup. Our respondents were 9% furniture stores, 55% home accent/gift stores and 9% interior designers, with the rest representing department stores, mass merchants, direct-to-consumer and other channels.

Our next online survey on licensed products will be posted this month at HomeAccentsToday.com. If you are a retailer, please plan to participate.
