If you're in the business of selling designer branded fashion, finding the right wholesale supplier is an essential to your success. A reliable supplier ensures you get authentic, high-quality products at competitive prices, allowing you to maximize profit margins and keep your customers happy. Unfortunately, not all wholesalers are created equal. You need to have a good relationship and most importantly, trust. Here are some of our top tips so you can identify the best wholesale suppliers for you.
Red Flags to Watch Out for When Choosing a Supplier
Not every supplier is trustworthy. Here are some warning signs to look out for when investigating wholesale partners:
- Hidden Fees – Unclear pricing structures, unexpected charges, or excessive order fees. All these different fees can eat into your profits. It is essential that you have a straightforward relationship and you aren’t getting confused or unsure on prices.
- Inconsistent Stock Levels – It is essential that before you completely commit to a supplier that you have informed them of your needs and they have assured you they are capable of this. If a supplier frequently runs out of key products, it can disrupt your business and leave you unable to meet customer demand.
- No Proof of Authenticity – Counterfeit goods are a major risk in the designer market. The majority of designer brand wholesalers have this one in the bag, but you can never be too careful. It’s better to be safe than sorry. If you have no proof after requesting this, it doesn’t confirm this on their website or they just aren’t giving you a straight answer, it’s easier to just mark them off the list. A reputable supplier will provide proof of authenticity.
- Poor Communication – If a supplier is slow to respond or unclear about their terms, it may indicate a lack of professionalism. We all know your wholesale suppliers massively effect your work, ensuring that you establish good communication with them will decrease stress on your end and make this process as smooth as it can be.
- Negative Reviews – Check for customer feedback and reviews. A history of complaints about delays, poor service, or low-quality products should raise concerns. You can check review on sites such as Google. It is also great if a business has testimonials on their website, especially if they are reputable brands.
