We would like to give you our warm and sincere thanks for your loyalty and for placing your trust in us. We also appreciate the numerous suggestions from you, our customers, that help us at boesner better serve you.
1. Worldwide purchasing
As international market leader for professional artists’ materials boesner achieves competitive terms at manufacturers through a very large purchasing volume. The manufacturers of artists’ materials are frequently awarded large long-​term orders which facilitate more efficient use of production-​line capacity and cheaper manufacture. In addition to this, some products are made especially for boesner. All these purchasing benefits make lower prices for boesner customers possible.
2. Locations with low rental and convenient access
Rental costs make up a large proportion of the global costs incurred by a company. Boeser outlets are usually situated on the outskirts of towns or in suburbs where rents are considerably lower than in city centres. The architecture of the business premises is also kept plain and functional. All this has a favourable influence on our prices.
A pleasant side-​effect of having locations conveniently placed as regards transport facilities is that there are plenty of parking spaces right in front of the stores, enabling easy shopping.
3. Sales premises of between 1,400 and 3,500 m
A wide wholesale range aimed at fulfilling the expectations of professionals and commercial users needs well-​structured premises in which rational storage management is possible. Generous stocks of goods should also guarantee that artists can pinpoint e.g. 30 large tubes of titanium white and buy them straight away. The shop-​fittings in our outlets are simple, practical and nonetheless modern. We can in this way save enormous sums of money during renovations and in new openings of boesner stores, which also influences our sales prices.
4. Qualified staff
Many of our employees are themselves practising artists, and have often been boesner customers for many years before they joined the staff. During your visit you will notice that these employees know what they are talking about, since they are often familiar with the materials from personal use. You will not find dry advice or salesmanship here. Know-​how is passed on with enjoyment and passion.
5. boesner mail-​orders
If you cannot come in person, all articles can be delivered quickly and reliably to you at home if you wish. The boesner mail-​order service in Witten is responsible for this service. Deliveries are made throughout Europe (with the exception of Switzerland, Austria and France).
6. Professional product range
There is a clear distinction between the normal market range of artists’ materials and the boesner product range. Almost exclusively, only materials used by professional or commercial users are offered. True to the boesner concept, a range that can meet all requirements also includes picture framing and wide choice of ready-​made frames in normal sizes.
7. Wholesale prices
Boesner specializes in supplying specific groups of customers and branches: artists, graphic artists, designers, architects, stage designers, art academies, art schools, therapeutic institutions, art dealers, galleries, museums, specialist shops for artists’ requirements and picture-​framing, students of the corresponding art subjects, industrial, trade and service companies and all related branches.
All these are customer groups who can expect competitive wholesale prices owing to their greater requirements. But even if your purchases are sometimes quite modest, as a boesner customer you always pay the same reasonable prices as the big clients. At least twice a year many regular wholesale prices are considerably reduced within the framework of special sales-​campaigns. All boesner customers are notified in good time about these campaigns. We also have frequently changing special offers for you on our website.
