 Product Differentiation from Competitors
  - It’s the Quality, Design and Pricing

Our Factories overseas have developed extensive quality control to insure the best quality. Top of the line raw materials are used, with extra steps in the manufacturing process that insures excellent finishing. A lot of handcrafting and labor is put into each piece. The result is that the customers can “see and feel” the difference.

Regal does not rely on “open market” goods, but creates all it’s own original designs. A team of talented designers and artists create over 250 new innovative designs each year.

To stay competitive we offer value-driven wholesale pricing. Products have a higher perceived value than their actual wholesale cost. We offer the retailer additional margins. Typical retail margins are 55-65%.
