Here's the straight answer, and the few things that still help.* Also asked as: Any Black Friday sales coming up?; Can I make an offer? > **The quick answer:** No, not when past buyers asked: there was no extra Black Friday discount on custom cushions and floor sofas, because the running sale was already as low as the workshop went. What helped instead was a reasonable offer through Make an Offer, which works from a desktop browser with your currency set to USD, not in the app. Ask for the current price once your measurements are ready. ![Close-up of a rust orange velvet end block with topstitched seams on a cream velvet floor sofa, oak floor below](https://cushionguide.com/media/modular-floor-sofas/rust-velvet-floor-sofa-end-panel-stitch-closeup-1600.webp "A close look at the rust velvet end panel, its topstitched edge and the soft cream seat beside it.") ## Key facts - No extra Black Friday discount came beyond the running sale when past buyers asked. - Margins are small and platform commissions are high. - Prices and quotes are in US dollars. - Reasonable offers have been accepted through Make an Offer. - One buyer had a sale price held for a few days while measuring. - One repeat customer's earlier price was matched. - Make an Offer needs your currency set to USD and a desktop browser, not the app. ## “Any Black Friday sales coming?” Pull up a chair, neighbor, because folks ask me this every fall. The honest answer, every time I've watched it asked, has been no: no extra Black Friday discount on custom cushions or [modular floor sofas](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/modular-floor-sofas/). The running sale was already as low as the workshop went. Margins are small, and the platform takes a healthy bite in commissions. So there was no prize for waiting until the Friday after Thanksgiving. What moved the number for past buyers was a fair offer, a clear size and a simple fabric, not the calendar. ## “Then can I make an offer?” A buyer in the US was pricing a floor sofa and asked the usual two-part question: will Black Friday bring a bigger discount, and if not, can I make an offer? The first answer was no. The second was yes. A modest offer a little under the sale price was accepted. The workshop added one practical note that saves a lot of frustration: Make an Offer only works with your currency set to USD, and it isn't available in the app. ## “It gives me an error when I send it.” 1. **Leave the app**: Make an Offer isn't available in the app. Open the listing in a desktop browser. 2. **Set the currency to USD**: The button only works when your currency is set to US dollars. 3. **Keep it reasonable**: Reasonable offers have been accepted; the floor sofa offer above landed a little under the sale price, not far below it. 4. **Ask for a hold if you need one**: One buyer had a sale price held for a few days after asking by message before the sale ended. Ask before it ends, not after. ## “I bought from you before. Same price?” That's the kind of question that makes my day. One repeat customer's earlier price was matched, so mention your past order when you write. And if you need a few days to measure the room, ask whether the sale price can be held; it was once for a buyer in exactly that spot. Use those days well.

What's on your list this year, the floor sofa or the cushions for the swing? > **Tailor's margin:** No extra Black Friday discount came when past buyers asked: the running sale was the price, and a reasonable offer did more than waiting. > Holding off for a Black Friday markdown gained past buyers nothing; a reasonable offer and good measurements did more. > > — Rosa ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Will there be a bigger Black Friday discount on the floor sofa, or can I make an offer? **The workshop's answer:** There was no deeper discount beyond the sale running at the time, but an offer a little under the sale price was accepted. Make an Offer only works with your currency set to USD and isn't in the app, so use a desktop browser. **A common question:** Is there a Black Friday sale, or could you lower the price? **The workshop's answer:** Prices were already as low as the workshop went, because margins are small and platform commissions high, so no extra Black Friday discount was planned. On past orders, an offer was accepted, a sale price was held for a few days, and a repeat customer's earlier price was matched, arranged by message or through Make an Offer from a computer. **A common question:** Are your prices in dollars or in my own currency? **The workshop's answer:** Prices and quotes are in US dollars. The marketplace converts them to your currency at checkout at its own daily rate, based on your account's country and currency settings. **A common question:** Does the price of a custom tufted bench cushion include shipping? **The workshop's answer:** The quote states the shipping cost, so read it before you pay, neighbor. Pick the closest size and write your exact size and color in Personalization, or message first if your size is far from the options. **A common question:** Is there any break for ordering several floor cushions at once? **The workshop's answer:** One set of six standard 20 x 20 in (50 x 50 cm) square floor cushions came in a little under the price of six singles. Other sizes are quoted. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Is it worth waiting for Black Friday to order? Not in past years: no extra markdown came beyond the running sale, so buyers who waited only started later. If a price matters to you, get your measurements ready, ask for the current price, and make a reasonable offer if you want to try. ### How long can a sale price be held for me? One buyer had a sale price held for a few days after asking by message before the sale ended; it's the workshop's call each time. The workshop has also matched a repeat customer's earlier price, so mention a past order when you write. ### Why doesn't Make an Offer work on my phone? The Make an Offer button isn't available in the app, and it only works when your currency is set to USD. Open the listing in a desktop browser, switch the currency and send the offer from there. ## Related at the atelier - [Do you take offers, or is there a discount code for the teddy floor sofa?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/teddy-floor-sofa-offer-discount-code/): Yes, within limits: offers on the teddy floor sofa have been accepted when close to the listed price, and low offers far below it were declined. - [Can I buy the floor sofa's metal support bars separately?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/floor-sofa-metal-support-bars-separately/): Yes, floor sofa metal support bars are sold separately, but only as a complete set of 4: one bar for each side and two for the back, each 20 in (51 cm) high. - [Your website is cheaper.
