Over the past twenty years, we’ve collaborated with thousands of Interior Designers to help them complete projects of various sizes. In fact, we are committed to helping designers procure the best decor, lighting, art, and furniture for their projects and clients without having to worry about technicalities like shipping and order quantities.
We know you’re busy with a ton of projects! So, without further ado, here are 10 Reasons Why Interior Designers Love Working with Mercana (… and maybe you should too).
1. No Minimum Order Quantity
What does this mean?
This is the simple bit. No Minimum Order Quantity. Ever.
Simply buy as much or as little as you want, depending on the projects you've undertaken right now. You don’t have to mandatorily stock-up for future projects unless you want to.
How does this help me?
In addition to reducing your upfront costs per project, ‘no minimums’ means you never have to stock up on items that you may not need again. You can truly focus on personalizing your client’s home without having to worry about clearing product you inventoried from your last project (….the products you bought from the other guys).

2. Lights, Furniture, Décor, Art
What does this mean?
From furniture to lighting and décor to art pieces, we’ve really got it all! With over 7000 SKUs that align with one or more of the nine Mercana design styles, we really are a one-stop shop.
How does this help me?
Picture this – you walk through our showroom or browse through our catalog and choose products for every room of your client’s house. Feels great right? That's exactly what we want. Furthermore, this is a stress-free process since there are fewer vendors for you to deal with!
3. The Best Account Managers
What does this mean?
Simple. When you sign up, you get to team-up with one of our awesome account managers who help you with all your purchases and related queries.
How does this help me?
What makes our account managers so special (… and so successful) is their customer-centric approach. Their ability to provide exceptional customer service while helping you choose the perfect products for your projects is what has allowed us to build and maintain relationships that have lasted decades. In addition to great service, our account managers are known for their vast knowledge of our products as well as the industry, which is something you’ll surely appreciate more and more as time passes and project sizes begin to increase.
4. Real-Time Online Inventory
What does this mean?
We value your project deadlines and understand that your commitment to your clients depends on numerous factors, including the availability and estimated shipping time of the products you choose. To make sure you always know the availability of the products you wish to purchase, we implemented a state-of-the-art inventory system that gives you detailed information on stock, freight and expected delivery.
How does this help me?
With our new Online Inventory System, you’ll always know what we have in stock and when we’re getting new stock. This means you can always stay on top of the timeline commitments you make to your clients.

5. Secure Online Account
What does this mean?
When you sign up on the Mercana Marketplace, we set you up with a secure, personal account that allows you to browse our latest products, place orders, view purchase history, and more.
How does this help me?
Your Mercana Marketplace account is the easiest way to browse through products and place orders at your own convenience, whether you’re in your office or vacationing in the Bahamas. Moreover, any product related questions that you may have, can be answered by our account managers through the online system, saving you large phone bills and more importantly, time.
6. Product Catalogs & Beyond
What does this mean?
Because we design our products in-house, we know everything there is to know about them. This allows us to equip you with resources like catalogs, pre-show look books and technical specification sheets that help you get to know our products just as well as we do.
For example, we’ve got detailed product descriptions, specification sheets, and assembly and electrical configuration documents (if required) available for print or download on the Mercana Marketplace.
How does this help me?
You already know how important this is if you’ve ever tried to assemble furniture without an assembly guide because it was lost in shipping. Well, that doesn’t happen when you team up with us!

7. Amazing Freight Rates
What does this mean?
Simply put, we’ve got some of the best shipping rates and structures in the Industry. You pay a fixed freight percentage based on your net invoice total excluding any taxes. We can also facilitate delivery to specific residential and commercial addresses within North America.
How does this help me?
Fixed pricing on shipping means you never have to worry about fluctuations in freight tariffs. One less thing to worry about.
8. Convenient Payment Solutions
What does this mean?
When you’re ready to make a purchase, you have the option of paying by credit card (we accept all major credit and debit cards including Amex, Visa, and MasterCard) through the online system or if you prefer bank to bank payments, our account managers can make that happen for you too. You can also speak to your account managers to know more about our payment terms and credit options.
How does this help me?
As a business owner, bills can rack up quickly. Having the option of paying by credit, debit, cheque or cash can help you manage your finances better and allow you to focus more on making money instead of paying it.
9. Premium & Affordable Collections
What does this mean?
We understand that your clients’ budgets vary. Keeping this in mind, we’ve got affordable collections as well as our premium, Studio M collections to help you choose the perfect products for each project and client.
How does this help me?
The freedom to work with any budget. Need we say more?
