How To Buy Wholesale Clothing
courtesy of clothing-design.suite101.com
Even if clothing shoppers don’t have a retail boutique or are not a regular buyer of clothing for resale, just about anyone can purchase lots of wholesale baby clothes, wholesale women’s clothes, wholesale men’s clothes, and all to sell individually at a retail markup. Wholesale clothing buyers can even find deals on single pieces, and mark it up to make a profit.
Deciding What Type Of Wholesale Clothing to Buy
Do a little research and make lists of what exactly will be resold, and what will be kept. Consider wholesale designer goods, wholesale maternity, or wholesale baby clothes; make lists of potential sellers off the Internet, do price comparisons and have a credit card ready. Do some research on the industry itself: how pricing works, where most of the manufacturers are located, how much markup to attach to the clothing, how to receive the money from customers and how to pay suppliers. Make sure to keep a bottom line in mind when going on a shopping spree. When not shopping to make any money, lower the budget and just keep shopping for personal items to keep.

Look online for wholesale vendors, and make lists of those who carry the best wholesale apparel. Then do price comparisons between the competitors and see what their minimum order size is for the items desired. A lot of wholesale operations will require a minimum purchase size in order to get the wholesale prices they’re offering. Buyers might need to buy say, 100 t-shirts in order to get the lower price to turn around and resell at a higher price. Is the wholesale clothing operation of a size that can handle the sheer bulk of that many items? Obviously if the lots are too large, move on to another supplier. Search for liquidators, wholesalers, bulk resellers, merchandise resale specialists and online auction houses for wholesale lots while doing research. Mark down anyone who has the right stock, say women’s clothing, and then compare the prices offered for identical pieces in similarly sized lots.
Buying Wholesale Clothing Responsibly
Make sure there is storage capacity for large lots, if it’s necessary to buy large quantities. Is there shipping capacity to handle multiple destinations, and the packaging needed to ship the goods legally? Are shipping costs factored into the bottom line? Is there financial stability to ship items on demand, without getting backed up? Is there access to assistance, should the demand begin to heat up? Do the wholesale buyers have the ability to tell between real and fake, like with designer clothes? There are a lot of rip-off artists out there who will claim that something is a designer “original” when it’s actually a knock-off from a sweat shop in China.
