March 2nd, 2011 by Linda No comments »

If you’re looking to find urban wholesale clothing, you may be stuck in a rut if you’ve been searching locally. It can often be difficult to find the correct contacts you’ll need, and can be incredibly time consuming to find the best deals possible. However, when shopping on the internet, it’s all made easy. Which you knew, of course. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. But finding urban wholesale clothes? That can sometimes feel like a different story all together.

Of course, one of the easiest ways to find urban wholesale clothes on the internet is to simply go to your favorite search engine and search those terms. The issue here is that you may feel as though you’re overwhelmed with results. Pick out a list of the top five results that either rank highest in the searches, or those that carry brands in which you are interested.

Now, you’re going to want to check out wholesale lists to learn more about the companies you are going to be dealing with. The wholesale list will include details about the companies that are usually kept up to date. You should also check with the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission for complaints and other business problems that may have been had.

If you happen to not find a company dealing in the brands you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to contact the manufacturers directly. You may be able to get a great deal by making the contact yourself with the manufacturer. Now, be aware that not all manufacturers will say yes to working with you, but if they won’t work with you directly, ask the manufacturer if they will point you toward any other urban wholesale clothes resources. They are in the industry and have been for some time, so they should be able to provide you with valuable information.

In addition to doing a simple search, don’t overlook other wholesale directories that list wholesale suppliers. There are many directories that will also allow for clients to leave feedback about the suppliers so that you can get references from previous customers of the suppliers prior to purchase.

When searching for urban wholesale clothes online, also be sure that your information is protected. If you decide to shop with a certain site, look for the icons that will tell you the site is safe and protected in order to keep your information secure. Many sites will be “hacker tested” for safety reasons, while many internet browsers will provide a symbol in the URL bar showing the security of the site.

As you can see, you have a wide variety of options when it comes to finding urban wholesale clothes on the internet. You just have to not be afraid to make phone calls when necessary and be sure that you’re purchasing through reputable, safe, suppliers.

Another alternative is to use a wholesale directory such as Salehoo.

The Dropship Business Model

The Dropship Business Model

October 15th, 2010 by WDR Staff No comments »

One of the hardest things for new entrepreneurs or start up businesses to come to terms with, is that it can be a nightmare to not only get that wad of cash that they need to start out, but it can also be a major problem finding a reliable wholesaler who will sell to them in small enough quantities that they can manage.

The reality is that when you start out in business, especially in these economic times when the banks aren’t lending, you either need a generous backer or you need to think outside the box.  That’s if you seriously want to be making bank sooner rather than later.

That’s why you should consider dropshipping!

Never thought of it?  Well if you’re struggling for start up cash, then you should look closely at the business model of dropshipping your way to making money and kick starting your business.

When you dropship you can deal in single items rather than having to buy large amounts of one product from a wholesaler.  This means that you don’t have to worry about tying up your money and having to wait until you sell the multiple of items you’ve bought from a wholesaler before you can start seeing a profit.

It also means that you don’t have to deal with stock storage and stock insurance problems because you will have no stock to safeguard.

Dropshipping means that you will also leave all the handling of the product you’re selling to your dropshipper who will package and ship the item to your customer.

What’s also great about this business model is you can promote yourself as a wide ranging wholesaler who has a wide variety of products to sell.  Simply put, if all you have to do is to list the item on eBay or on your own personal website, then you can list as many items as you desire.

Dropshipping is a versatile and simple way for anyone who’s serious about their business to get into selling, you just need to find yourself a reliable dropshipper to partner with.
