How long can I sell my products for at DesignTorget?
It depends on customer demand and how long the product has novelty value. Some of our exhibitors have sold their products for years and others for just a couple of weeks. If after the initial four week 'sales start' period we decide to keep selling your product the contract automatically turns in to a permanent contract (subject to a four week notice period from either party). 
 
Is it possible to apply to DesignTorget from abroad?
No, DesignTorget only accepts applications from applicants living in Sweden.

How much does it cost to sell my products at DesignTorget?
Rent is SEK 90 SEK/week excl. VAT. During Christmas season week 48-52 the rent is SEK 180 per week. In addition to that we take out a commission fee of the sales price incl. VAT.

The commission fees are:

• 50% standard fee (for all products not included in the other commission groups)
• 45% for products in silver/gold, textile, wood, glass, ceramics or of wrought iron where the main part is made by hand by the commissioner himself 
• 43% on larger furniture with a sales price over SEK 1000 
• 40% for full time design students


If you are not subject to VAT (with F-tax form) we have the following commission fees:

• 60% standard fee (for all products not included in the other commission groups)
• 55% for products in silver/gold, textile, wood, glass, ceramics or of wrought iron where the main part is made by hand by the commissioner himself 
• 53% on larger furniture with a sales price over SEK 1000 
• 50% for full time design students

Why is the commission fee higher without the F-tax form?
If you are not subject to VAT (with F-tax form) we have to raise the commission fee with 10% since we cannot withdraw VAT in the tax declaration.

How do I get my F-tax form?
You can find useful information about F-tax forms at www.foretagsregistrering.se

I make my own products by hand, do I have a different commission fee?
The commission fee on 45 % only applies to products in certain materials where the main part is fully made by the commissioner himself. This applies to handicraft in silver/gold, textile, wood, glass, ceramics or of wrought iron. For example, if you are a silversmith and make the jewellery you sell at DesignTorget yourself your commission fee will be 45 %. That also goes if you are a potter and by yourself make the products you sell. This commission fee does not apply if the products are made in any other material than above mentioned or made by other manufacturers than the commissioner himself or in a factory.
 
I am a student; do I have a different commission fee?
Yes, the commission fee for full time design students is 40% (50% without F-tax form). State that you are a student in the application form and then send us your student certificate.

Do I pay rent in all the shops?
No, the rent is the same regardless of how many of our shops you sell in. This means that you never pay more than SEK 90 per week excl VAT. The rental fee of SEK 90 will be deducted from your sales. You are not required to pay rent for the weeks you don't make any sales.
 
What happens if I don't sell anything?
You only pay rent for the weeks you make sales. If you don’t sell anything one week you don’t pay any rent.

How do I decide the price for my products?
You base the price on what you need to earn to cover material and production costs, any VAT and profit. Then add the commission fee on top and this is your sales price incl. VAT. You also have to consider how much the customer is prepared to pay for the product and if the price needs to be adjusted according to the fixed prices DesignTorget works with, se below. We keep the right to raise your price by a 10% maximum.

Can shop staff help out with price labelling and alarms?
Yes, our shop staff will put price labels on your products and mark all products with a sales price over 300sek and products we know are especially theft-prone with electronic alarms.
   
How do I know when the shops need a refill of my product?
You make sure that there is enough in stock of your products by calling one of our shops. In the beginning of your sales period you can ask the staff to let you know about your sales performance and from that get a good picture of how many items you need to ensure a sufficient supply. You can then arrange for approximately four weeks worth of sales per delivery.
   
Can I sell in more DesignTorget shops than I do today?
Send an email to kontakt@designtorget.se with information regarding which shops you wish to sell in and our selection committee will discuss it at their next meeting. 
 
What is different during the Christmas season?
During Christmas season week 48-52 the rent is SEK 180 per week. We begin processing product applications for Christmas from week 36. Please note that since this is a very busy period for our shops it is especially important that you ensure that you have a sufficient stock for the whole Christmas period.

How does the selection committee decide on which products to approve?
The committee bases its decisions on quality, creativity, design, novelty value and sales potential.
 
Does professional secrecy apply to the selection committee?
Yes, everything that is discussed at these meetings stays there. This is why we cannot provide individual applicants with the reasons for the committee's verdict.
