Do You Want to be a Rug Goddess in Your Area?
The first step in becoming a Rug Goddess is to read our "About Us" page to learn about our history and vision.
If you like our story, own an interior design business, and wish to be considered as a Rug Goddess in your area, then click here to schedule your one-on-one call with Janice Wells, a.k.a. The Rug Goddess.
We want to ensure we answer all your questions and that you are the right fit for our program. It's important to mention that qualifying factors include being organized, sales-driven, passionate about area rugs, enjoying social media, and having a strong sense of urgency in responding to emails and returning client calls within 24-48 hours.
If we both decide that the program is a good fit for each of us, you will be asked to take our online training course. This online course will ensure that you are familiar with the different manufacturers we carry and why we carry them, how to search for products with our online catalog of area rugs & broadloom, how to pick the right size and color of rug, how to care for the area rugs, information on how to create custom rugs in sizes and shapes and provide an outline of the pricing and discount structure.
We will also train you to use our room visualizer, which lets you upload a picture of the client's room and show how the rug will look in their space before they buy. This is a great selling point and helps prevent returns that would incur additional shipping costs.
We can’t tell you how many times customers have told us they purchased a rug, lugged it home (rugs are heavy), placed it in their room, and either the size was wrong or the color was off, so they had to return it or ship it back to the store. We never want our customers to have that grueling experience; that is why they hire a Rug Goddess!
Perhaps the biggest benefit our program offers Interior Designers is the ability to sell additional design services to our customers while receiving a steady stream of leads.
Over the years, we have found that when a customer buys an area rug, they often need additional design services, including furniture, home accessories, lighting, painting, faux finishing, and more.
This partner program is truly a win-win for everyone involved, but most importantly, the customer.

Testimonial from one of our designers

"As the Rug Goddess Partner for Kansas City, I've found my true passion in the rug business. My journey began when I owned a decorative painting and faux-finish company, often referring clients to Janice Wells, the original Rug Goddess, for their area rug needs. Her professionalism and expertise were unmatched.
