Any ideas on how to promote wholesale items

[roseselene]

Hi! I own Cottontail Baby and have always been a retailer. I recently have decided to start wholesaling the nursing advocacy t shirts that I sell. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get a wholesale program started or where to advertise. I'm new to this part of the business
Thanks!

The thing to do is find out who you'd wholesale to. For instance, I create salves...a mosquito repellent one and a skin soothing one. I've come to the conclusion that Bed and Breakfasts would be a good market to wholesale to because I see my product as an asset to them taking care of their customers. I intend to take the time to seek out potential clients in the near future.

So, frame your mind like that and see what you come up with.

Well, there are sites like Alibaba.com that I use to find wholesale suppliers, and you can look around for websites or brick and mortar shops that might want your shirts and pitch it to them one at a time... I get emails all the time from people wanting me to sell their product. Most of my wholesale selling just comes through the retail shop. I've done it, you probably have, too... you see a product for sale that you like and you ask if it's available wholesale. if you put a button on your retail shop website for retailers to contact you for wholesale prices, that might bring in some leads.

I work as an internet retailer for games and such, we have 6 (maybe 7) selling platforms, I get at least one email a day from someone asking if I want to buy from them. So maybe cruise the platforms and send emails to sellers that strike your fancy!

I'm going to PM you, we've been thinking about getting rolling with a baby/kids line.
