The meeting started with Mr. Mohammadreza Rashtizadeh, the head of Qom Carpet Employers Association, mentioned that the correct sales model should be implemented in the association's booth, and the handwoven carpet market should be transparent. Manufacturers should also specify their price policy. He added that people who want to have the association's symbol in their booths should display their rugs on the association's website at a certain price and present their carpets at the exhibition at the same price. Also, he considered the current market situation to be 3 important factors, which are as follows.

1.      Failure to invest and maintain the value of the carpet
2.      Consumer uncertainty
3.      Lack of transparency of carpet value for consumers

Mr. Soheil Bigdeli, the treasurer of Qom Handwoven Carpet Employers Association, said that the purpose of the association is to introduce itself to people and recruit members, and added that most producers auction their rugs in the exhibition due to financial problems, and this situation is very deplorable.

Mr. Mohammadreza Sedighian, the first vice president of Qom Handwoven Carpet Employers Association, considered the branding of the association important and stated that a framework and goals should be defined that are effective. He suggested that the association keep a percentage of the sale of carpets in the association's fund, and in return, a one-year guarantee is given to the carpet buyer.

Mr. Javad Elyasi, the secretary of Qom Handwoven Carpet Employers Association, suggested that producers have a single price and allocate a percentage of the sales price to traders. He considered it important to have professional ethics and added that it is better to prepare a charter so that according to it, manufacturers who have observed the two items of price transparency and carpet quality, can have the flag of the association in their booths

Mr. Mohammad Nouri, a producer and activist in the field of hand-woven carpet, considered the proper presentation of carpets in the exhibition and the prestige of presenting the work to be important and added that this requires culture building

Mr. Saeid Alizadeh, a producer of handmade carpet, suggested that this year's exhibition be held in a simple way. Therefore, it is better for the exhibition to introduce the association to people and recruit members

The price suggestion for the 6 meter carpet size by the members of the forum is as follows

Mr. Mohammadreza Rashtizadeh 12,000,000 Tomans

Mr. Javad Elyasi 16,000,000 Tomans

Mr. Saeid Alizadeh 12,000,000 Tomans

Mr. Mohammad Nouri 12,000,000 Tomans

Mr. Rahim Forouhar 1,000,000 Tomans

Mr. Mohammadreza Sedighian 15000000 Tomans

Mr. Soheil Bigdeli 12,000,000 Tomans

The average amount approved by friends is 12,000,000 Tomans.

In the end, according to the opinion of friends, the price of carpet presented in the exhibition booth should be transparent, and producers can also receive the symbol of the association by observing the two items of quality and transparent price of the carpet.
