\"Private<\/a>Private Labels Carpet: A Public Hassle<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/h6>

Private label carpet<\/strong> is a term for when a dealer changes the name of a carpet style to a unique name used only by that dealer. So, the carpet has the dealer\u2019s private label name instead of the manufacturers\u2019.<\/p>

This is a very common practice among retailers. Big box stores like Lowes and The Home Depot are notorious for private labels. These companies use \u201cprivate labels\u201d to prevent customers from comparing prices with other retailers. In other words, these retailers don\u2019t want you to see a style you like in their store, and then shop around for better prices elsewhere.<\/p>

Here is an example of a private labeling. Shaw Industries may have a style that they call \u201cCadiz.\u201d The Home Depot may sell this style under the name \u201cForever.\u201d Lowes may call it \u201cTime Out.\u201d When Shaw makes it for Carpet One Stores it may be called \u201cFree Port,\u201d and when it\u2019s made for Carpet Express, we will call it \u201cHard Rock.\u201d The style that Shaw Industries calls \u201cCadiz\u201d is literally sold under thousands of different private labels. Private labeling makes it very difficult for customers to compare prices when shopping for carpet. It is very confusing when the same carpet has so many different names.<\/p>

There are a few ways of working around private labels. That\u2019s why it doesn\u2019t hurt to have some experts on your side. Before you make your next big flooring purchase, give one of Carpet Express\u2019 experts a call first. Saving money isn\u2019t always easy, but the flooring experts at Carpet Express can make sure private labels don\u2019t stand in the way of big savings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Private Label Carpet: Companies\n","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-carpet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/75"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=370"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":710,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370\/revisions\/710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
