So much planning and preparation goes into opening a store or website to retail chic baby gifts. What steps need to be taken to complete the actual ordering process? Here are some industry tips to aid you in ordering wholesale boutique baby clothes.
Website Registry
Stroller Umbrella
Manufacturers will not publish product pricing on their websites. Costs are intended for retailers' eyes-only. The reason for this boils down to dollars and cents. A profit margin must be possible between manufacturer and retailer as well as between you and the end consumer, enabling everyone to stay in business! Website registry is the simplest way to gather information about products.
Just submit your email address, or send a message to the company's sales department through their website to initiate the process. A faxed copy of your business license and federal tax identification number will be required to verify you are indeed a retailer. If you are interested in carrying the products in your store after receiving a mailed catalog or viewing a virtual one, you will either be assigned an in-house company sales representative, or an independent rep group to complete your order.
Rep Groups
Independent representation groups act as a middle person for a number of companies within the same industry. In this case, chic baby gifts fall under two trade umbrellas: gift and baby. Efficient rep groups will be educated and fully capable of assisting you with your registration and purchase. Staying in contact with the manufacturer is their job, so they will continue to follow up and benefit you long after your first transaction, often just to see how well you are doing.
Sales and marketing tips are at your disposal, especially if you start out a little rocky. A rep group in your area will be assigned to you. They will travel to your store to speak with you in person, or they may have a group showroom nearby that you can visit. Viewing any showroom in your industry opens up the possibility of finding other merchandise from which you can profit.
Trade Shows
Attending trade shows is an excellent way to get a full scope of what is hot in your industry. Trade shows can last anywhere from one to four days, occurring year round all over the globe. Companies register and purchase booth space to exhibit, and you pay a small admission fee to shop. The outcome is face-to-face consultations with the people who know the product inside and out. After all, it is their company!
Manufacturers also regularly offer show specials and discounts to attendees during exhibition days. Trade shows are also a notable way to network with other retailers in your industry. Meeting people and exchanging contact information is not only enjoyable; you also gain knowledge about other retailers' wholesale boutique baby clothes inventory with a similar customer base.
