At first, Mr. Mohammad Reza Rashtizadeh, the head of the Qom Handwoven rug Employers Association, said that there is no other way to improve the market situation than to disclose rug prices, as this will gain consumer trust and the market will also adjust its prices to determine the appropriate price for the rug. He also added that the association can advise producers who want to set prices for their rug to determine the real prices, but in the end, the producer and owner of the rug determines the final price of their rug

Mr. Mohammad Reza Sedighian, the vice president of the Qom Handwoven rug Employers Association, considered the association's handwoven rug sales site important and stated that this site can greatly help improve the situation of rug, but it is better to form an expert committee to determine the prices of the handwoven rug available on the site. He also suggested that a discount percentage be considered for association members so that more people will be interested in joining the association. Another important point regarding the association's website is that the website of the Handwoven rug Employers' Association is based on honesty and transparency, and sales are not the main issue of this site
