So you want to open a retail store, You have to hang with the resellers...

After spending the last few years as the owner of
http://www.closeoutexplosion.com
a wholesale and closeout business, and having been
personally active in
retail and wholesale, I have compiled a few important
tips that I would recommend to all resellers.

Tip #1

Always ask to visit the warehouse where you can
see the products. An honest wholesaler will allow you
to visit his warehouse, since he has nothing to hide,
and is proud of his wholesale products.

If you can't personally visit, you can
always send a relative or friend on your behalf.

Even if you don't visit the warehouse, isn't it nice to
know that the warehouse actually exists, and the merchandise
can be inspected?

My warehouse is open six days a week, and I gladly welcome
all resellers.

Tip #2

Always make sure to focus on more than one product.
While you can do really well with only one product, you can
experience even stronger sales by offering your customers
complimentary products. For example, if you sell shoes,
you should consider selling dresses as well, since the same
customers who buy dresses also wear shoes.

Tip #3

Focus on brand names, quality, and service, not just price.
if your business competes based on only on price, there can always
be a lower priced competitor. But if you focus on top quality brand
name
merchandise and great service, you will be faced with few similar
competitors.

Hope you enjoyed these tips, would love to hear your feedback.

Please take a look at my brand name designer shoe and dress lots,
