With construction costs skyrocketing, the Today Show sat Jack down on the couch with one question: how can the same tile cost this much less when you buy it factory direct? Here is the full segment, plus the short version if you are not in a spot to press play.
The segment in four takeaways
1. What BloomBuild is. As Jack put it on the couch: "We sell building supplies, tiles specifically, directly from the factory." Everything runs online. No showroom network, no sales reps, no distributor in the middle.
2. Why the price lands 40 to 70% under showrooms. A tile normally passes from the factory to a wholesaler, an importer, a distributor and then a showroom, and every step adds a margin. By the time it reaches you it costs several times what it left the factory at. Buying direct skips the whole queue. Asked how our tiles differ from what you would find in a showroom, Jack's answer was simple: they do not, because they come from the same factories.
3. The $5 samples. You still get to see and hold the tile before committing, just in your own home instead of a showroom. Three samples for $5, shipped flat to your door. We wrote up how to test them properly in 10 minutes.
4. Delivery, Australia-wide. No minimum order, quality checked at the source before it ships, and typically three to four weeks from ordering online to tiles at your door, delivered kerbside anywhere in Australia.
The honest model, in brief
We buy at factory price and add a flat margin of around 20%. The full cost breakdown sits on every product page, so you can see what the tile costs and what we make. It is why we almost never discount: there is no inflated ticket to mark down. The full dollar-by-dollar version is in why showroom tiles cost 40 to 70% more, and the longer story in Jack's own words is here.
