Wholesale Suppliers Worldwide

I have a wild tip for finding wholesale suppliers. For the many who may not be thinking along these lines, I hope this provides a flash of light.

I was out on the net doing a bit of research when I ran across a great article. Great because of the insight into how the world of finding wholesale products and finding wholesale suppliers worldwide works. And it doesn’t have anything to do with joining Worldwide Brands or Salehoo, which I think is a great resource, or any other online wholesale dropship directory.

I want to quote a chunk of an article I happened upon. And this, if you’ll excuse this poor, trampled on expression, is gold. Pure gold. If you want to check out the site and whole article, it is, http://www.bestezines.com/?&id=8234. Here it is:

The ASD / AMD Show in Las Vegas held at the Sands Expo, Mandalay Bay Convention Center and the Mirage was held March 2-5, 2008. This show is a must for anyone looking to meet wholesale suppliers in person and to find wholesale products for resale.

The show is comprised of hundreds of exhibitors of general closeout merchandise and variety merchandise covering a diverse line of categories such as electronics, gifts, jewelry, apparel, cosmetics, handbags, sunglasses, HBA, novelties, perfumes, plush toys, shoes, luggage, as seen on tv, dollar store items, licensed products, and fashion accessories.

Retailers looking for bargains can find super discounted deals at the ASD Show. This year’s hot selling wholesale products included Barry Bonds Youth Jerseys, wheelchair electric scooters, knockoff handbags inspired by Gucci, mixed apparel for $1.25 pc. and Puma sneakers for as low as $14.99 pair.

Many of the closeout wholesale suppliers exhibiting at the show are liquidating overstock at pennies on the dollar. If you are a new reseller, it is important to understand the difference between wholesale and closeout merchandise. Closeout merchandise is often irregular with clipped tags or defects and might consist of store returns, overstock, excess inventory, surplus or even salvage. Closeouts are often sold in mixed lots or offered as a take all deal which means you have to accept unequal size scales and color choices, defects and final sales agreements with no returns. The trade off is you are able to buy cheap and resell for big profits if you buy right. Remember, closeouts are never offered as an ongoing supply. Closeouts are offered first come first serve basis and only available while the supplies last.

There is a lot of haggling going on that the ASD shows. Buyers fly in from around the world to make offers on closeout deals they can resell through off price distribution centers. Many large buyers from large off price retail chains are seen placing huge orders. The larger exhibitors set up Salons but you have to have an appointment to meet with one of their reps. If you didn’t make an appointment in advance, no need to worry, there are hundreds of small exhibitors in the back stalls who have stuff they are liquidating for cheap. Thousands of people meet at the ASD show to network and wheel and deal.

There is a little more to this gem, but I’ll save that for another post.
