When you are searching for items to have in your store or online, you should ensure that you are ordering from genuine sources in order to get the cheapest possible prices for the merchandise that you are stocking. It is important to track down reliable wholesale distributors as they are the ones that can offer great products at even better prices, ensuring that you – and your customers – will be happy in the end.

Wholesale suppliers will usually deal in a range of branded and unbranded products, and it is important that you know who your target market is so you can decide which wholesale items you need to purchase to get the best return on your investment.

For the purposes of selling online, you should steer away from making your wholesale purchases from places like eBay or warehouse clubs such as Costco. This is primarily because the general public will be able to get the same deals that you are getting and you could find it harder to shift your stock.

The best place for you to source wholesale products for you to resell is directly from the manufacturer or from a manufacturer’s distribution agent. By cutting out any other dealers in the process, you are ensuring that you will get the lowest price for the merchandise that you are purchasing.

Another resource that you can consider using is a liquidator or closeout sale agent. These businesses will often sell merchandise at below wholesale price which means that you are paying even less than you would normally. One downside of this is that you may purchase a product that sells extremely well and then have trouble sourcing more of the same good.

You could also ask retailers in a non-competing market where they purchase their goods. If they use a multi-product wholesaler, they may be happy to give you advice knowing that you are not a threat to their business.
