If you are planning to set-up a clothing retail business and want to earn good profit, then buying from wholesale clothing suppliers will give you a competitive edge. You will not only make profit with buying wholesale but also save time and energy as you would not have to run around to shop from various distributors and manufacturers. If you have decided to sell clothing by buying in bulk from a wholesaler, here are the tips that you must keep in mind before you start your business.
Find a Niche
In the clothing segment there is a lot of competition, so it’s better to decide beforehand a niche segment to distinguish you from other clothing sellers. For instance, you can set up your business in Gothic clothing. There can be other segments like plus size clothing, men’s clothing, kids’ clothing and more.
Contact Wholesalers
Next is how to get in touch with the wholesale suppliers. You can contact with various clothing wholesale suppliers directly or visiting their websites. Many suppliers have a wholesale application online. Through this application you can open a wholesale account with them. To open a wholesale account, you will need to fill out an application with such suppliers. Then you can place your order. They will require proofs, such as a sales tax or resale license number, that you are a business.
Business Permits
In order to run your retail business, you will first require business permits, such as resale permit or sales tax permit. So it’s better to obtain them before launching your business. Many wholesale vintage clothing online suppliers will not do business with you if you are not registered.
Decide Your Venue
Finding the perfect place for your business is important. You can rent or own a shop in a buzzing market place or in the nearby shopping centre. You can also set up an e-commerce website. It depends on the budget you have and who your target customer base is.
