Many people want to start their business and the first
thing they ask for is a Wholesale Directory. In other
words, they want suppliers and products. Many want
suppliers that drop-ship products, others just suppliers.
For those just looking for a wholesale directory I will
give you my favorite site for products and suppliers,
closeouts and liquidations. You will find almost
everything here.
Now, let me tell you what else to do in order to get the
best wholesale directory. Build your own. Yes, build your
own. I've been in the wholesale and distribution business
for years, sold to over 200,000 stores plus distributors,
wholesalers, exporters, online, on eBay, to cash and
carry's. You get the idea! My point is. I've sold a lot
of products to a lot of people. And my main recommendation
is to build your own list.
How do you do this? Why would you do this? Very simple.
You would do this because the "source", the original source
for products is the one that has the best prices. These are
usually not drops shippers and not in these kind of
directories. The companies who import, produce, or have
exclusivity for products don't consolidate. In other
words, they just sell their own products, and if you want
the best prices for those products you need to contact them
directly.
Usually most of the Wholesale Directories have
consolidators, people who sell several products, buying
from the manufacturers and importers. Yes, if you are
starting and will only buy a couple of products at a time
they are your best bet. But if you want large margins for
you wholesale business you need More Margin.
To get More Money you will need to find not wholesalers,
not just distributors, you need to get all the way to the
source, to the producers, owners or importers of the
products. They will give you the best margins and can even
negotiate exclusivities or special contracts to protect a
territory, accounts, or something else.
This is your master list. Your Master Wholesale Directory.
This new list is your key for wholesale products and
suppliers. Now, let me tell you how to build your list.
The easy way is to go to trade shows. There are food
shows, snack shows, toy shows, and apparel, everything you
can imagine. Think of the products you want to represent
and then look up the trade shows on the internet and if
they are near your home town go.
The other way is looking online. This can be a bit more
complicated because you don't really know who the companies
are, if they are the original owner or a reseller. You
will have to do more legwork. I recommend that you visit
my wholesale audio course and signup to my newsletter to
get a free audio course.
You will be surprised of everything that will start coming
your way when you reach to these suppliers. You will start
finding new products, finding business opportunities and
business deals. You see, these people are veteran
entrepreneurs and if you can help them sell more of their
products they will help you, teach you, and guide you into
launching your business.
So look at the big picture, don't settle for just generic
drop shippers and make relationships, don't just send
emails and buy third party directories. These are keys to
success and will have you well on your way to launching
your successful wholesale business. And always keep
learning. Read as much as you can, talk to people in the
industry, read articles, trade magazines, case studies and
everything you can on the products and business you want.
Also, don't forget to have fun. If you're not having fun or
you don't like what you do you will not get pumped up for
it.
