What is Big Fish Private Label Design? Instead of designing to the market generally, Big Fish works directly with clients to custom-design wall dĂŠcor to the specifications of customers. This confers both product design advantages, as well as and cost advantages for customers. The partnering relationship enables wholesale customers to be part of the design and product process such that price points can be established and designed towards, which is especially valuable for matching of art to standard or private label furniture.

How “The Big Fish Approach” Benefits Retailers or Manufacturers • Big Fish Private Label designs to a target price point • Big Fish allows efficient use of buyers’ time in product development and selection • Private label allows for control over merchandising across multiple locations • Wall décor is merchandised as part of the “whole room.” This approach makes it easy for the end-customer regarding what “matches” • Exclusive wall décor becomes part of the private-label furniture package — and nothing is more exclusive than art • These exclusively-designed items cannot be found by customers at :MEG:HH 9>G:8I other retail venues or Internet sources • Big Fish provides multiple distribution/inventory options including justin-time inventory and 9>G:8I (drop ship program) • Wall décor can be produced on demand, and in quantity All Big Fish wall décor is “Made in the U.S.A.” This will please endcustomers, and also allows for rapid reordering — a service benefit that companies ordering from foreign manufacturers cannot match.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is Big Fish’s experience in designing private labels? What have the results been? A: Private-label design has been a growing part of Big Fish’s business. The results have been spectacular. Top 100 retailers participate in Big Fish’s active private label programs, and a few more — who started with semi-custom designs — are on the path to private labels.
Q: Generally private label design requires significant minimums. Do you have minimums? A: We have minimums, but they are not onerous. Private labels in the wall décor market do not mean simply attaching the retailer’s label to an existing product. Rather, they involve designing to a customers’ specification and reserving the result for that person or business. Generally, we design an entire line of products for private labels because multiple products lend greater credibility to the entire line of products offered — and, where relevant, to the furniture going with them.
Q: Can you design to my budget? A: Yes, and that is the beauty and challenge of the creative development process. We can engineer the product backwards by first selecting manufacturing materials that have “the look,” while meeting the price point required. We can also work with quantities needed to make the formula work. We invite you to meet with us to discuss your ideas.
Q: Where do you find the subject matter? A: We have one of the largest libraries of prints and images in the business — a compilation of 23 years of gathering materials to inspire designs. But that is just the start, because we use in-house, highly skilled artists and graphic designers to evolve images into final products that work for you.
Q: Can customers request a starting point for a design? A: Of course! Inspiration and ideas come from many venues. Pulling multiple examples of items that provide direction is a good place to start, and has worked well for Big Fish customers from the start. Typically, customers with whom we partner bring with them size requirements, specific colors, subject matter and even some images and other particulars.
