Hi everyone, here is a sneak peak at the details of the all new SourceBook launching 1st September! Read on for more information or click the image above to visit the
SourceBook.
How does the SourceBook work?
If you are searching for a particular piece of antique or vintage furniture or accessory for your home (or if you've seen something on the West Egg website that has sadly already been sold) you can submit a SourceBook request by
clicking here so we can find it for you! West Egg has a network across the UK of incredible antique and vintage companies and dealers who receive the request and then let us know if they have a suitable match.
Why use the SourceBook?
The SourceBook is quick, free and easy to use. So for interior designers and private customers looking for antique and vintage pieces the SourceBook is the must-have tool to find interesting and unique pieces. Your personal details are never released to companies and dealers listed in the SourceBook - only your geographical location.
West Egg personally verifies each and every match sent over by a company or dealer and puts together a personalised "Top 10 Matches" list which is sent to you by email with images, descriptions and the contact details of the relevant company or dealer. It's then up to you how you use that information.
We do things the old-fashioned way at West Egg, none of the sourcing work is automated and there is absolutely no obligation to purchase any of the products suggested in the Top 10 Matches.
Why does West Egg offer this service?
When West Egg started trading in February 2011 there was no way to foresee the popularity of the SourceBook. There were so many requests coming in for different pieces of furniture and home accessories, it was a full-time job in itself ringing up dealers and different companies trying to find the perfect match for our customers. More often than not, our customers (quite rightly) wanted to see 4-5 different options which took even longer. By sharing our SourceBook requests with so many dealers and companies in the UK we are now able to complete each SourceBook request much more quickly and successfully than we ever could on our own. Also, there are so many amazing small, independent companies and dealers in the UK selling some truly stunning pieces of antique and vintage pieces but unless you know where to look or who does what best, the customer is the one who loses out. Now, by using the SourceBook a huge network of companies and dealers specialising in antique and vintage furniture is opened up and available for everyone.
Any feedback and comments are much appreciated, the A-Z lists aren't working yet but everything else should be - please email me at louisa@westegg.co.uk or contact me via facebook or twitter - details below.
Thanks so much,
Louisa
