Selling Wholesale Clothing at the Lowest Price

Wholesale Clothing

Low-cost wholesale clothing helps keep your prices lower.

With so many people out of a job or otherwise cutting back their spending, businesses need to find ways to lower prices to draw in more consumers. In some cases, this could mean taking a hit to the company, which doesn’t help the company to thrive. However, when it comes to wholesale clothing, you can still find deals that will allow you to sell some clothing for low prices while still making the profit you need to make to continue to thrive as a business.

People are always looking for great deals. They want to get as much as they can, while spending as little as possible. Some people just don’t want to spend a lot on the clothes they wear. Others simply don’t have the money to spend but still want nice, fashionable clothes. If you can provide your customers with the latest styles and the high-quality clothing they want for the lower price they need, you will be able to draw customers to you more easily.

When you own your own clothing store, the amount you charge for each item is entirely up to you. You will want to charge more than what you pay, but how much more depends on how much money you want to make on an item. However, even though you are in the market to make money, you need to keep your customers in mind. You need to put yourself in their shoes and figure out how much they are willing to pay so you can charge a fair price while making a profit. If you can purchase low-price wholesale clothing, you will be able to charge less and still make the profit you want.

Lower prices are a great way to get customers into your store. Some stores offer sales to draw in crowds. If you can provide the low prices that a sale offers every day, you stand a greater chance of drawing customers in and keeping them coming back. One of your biggest goals as a clothing retailer is to reach out to a target group and draw in as many customers as you can. Even with low prices, you will have the profits coming in, especially if you can get more customers.

When you are working in the retail clothing business, you likely rely on wholesale clothing to stock your store. Even though you need to make a profit on each item you sell, finding clothing that costs you less will allow you to sell that same clothing for less and still make your profit. The lower prices you will be able to charge will help you draw in more customers, which will then help you to make even more money.

What to Look for When Buying Wholesale Clothing

0

If your store sells clothing, finding a place from which to buy wholesale clothing should be your top priority. If you were to buy clothing from other retailers, you would end up having to charge far too much trying to make a profit. Instead, you need to find a quality wholesaler that can give you everything you need without hurting your bottom line so you can make money and have the products you need to sell.

Prices

The prices your wholesaler charges for the clothing will directly related to how much money you can make on the clothing. Wholesalers need to make money as well, but they often charge far less than retailers do. Therefore, you will be able to charge what other retailers do and still be able to make a profit. To help increase your profit, you need to do your research on the available wholesalers that carry the clothing you want to offer in your store and choose the one that can offer you the best prices.

Quantities

Some wholesale clothing companies will put a minimum order limit on their customers. This ensures that the wholesaler makes the money they need to make on a product. However, not all wholesalers operate this way. If you want to test clothing in your market first or don’t have a large store, it is important to find a wholesaler that will allow you to order as much or as little as you need. One of the ways that stores lose money is by buying too much stock and then not selling it. You can avoid this if you can find a clothing wholesaler with no minimum order.

Reliability

The reliability of your wholesaler is important. If you do your research, you should be able to find reviews and other information on the wholesaler you are considering. You want to be sure to choose one that will get your order delivered quickly so you can start selling the clothing in your store as soon as possible. You also want to choose a wholesaler who keeps efficient records so you don’t end up ordering something that is out of stock and thus, don’t receive your order.

Choosing a company to provide you with the wholesale clothing you need for your store can be a difficult process. However, if you know what to look for in a wholesale distributor, the choice will be easier for you. Finding a company that provides you with prices that will allow you to make a good profit, the ability to order as much or as little as you need and offers the reliability you can count on can help ensure the success of your company.

Loose tops – Loose tops with a bohemian vibe are hot for spring and summer 2012. This trend is seen on many celebrities.

Look for bright colors and swirling prints for loose tops.

Nautical trends – Nautical trends like stripes, epaulettes and buttons make a major statement for spring. These tops look sharp and crisp on a warm day. Women wear nautical tops with jeans, slacks and skirts. Nautical tops are great for vacation, but they also provide a playful look for college students or stay-at-home moms. Nautical trends have been going strong for awhile now, but the tops have stuck around and look to be a favorite for spring 2012. There were many runway shows with nautical tops and celebrities continue to wear them with everything from shorts to short, voluminous skirts.

Wrap tops – Like loose tops, wrap tops are easy to wear regardless of a woman’s shape. Wrap tops or faux wrap tops create a feminine shape. For plus size women, this highlights the waist and for thin women, this shows off curves. It’s an easy shape that works for the office or on the weekend. Wrap tops in jersey and cotton fabrics are the most versatile.  You want to offer clients fabrics that have versatility and allow them to wear the item for many occasions. Wrap tops with slight draping at the neckline or roomy arms are also popular.

Spring trends for tops wholesale are a prime area for retailers to make money. Most customers want pieces that can work with basics they already own. Tops tend to be an area where women of all ages will try trends versus pants where most women stick to the same silhouette and colors.
