Where do you find your wholesalers?

[KKoher]

Hey..So I own a small clothing and accessory store for teens and young adults, with mostly a punk rock theme. I've found all of my wholesalers through the internet, and so far its been fine and we haven't had many problems. I'm wondering if there are other ways to find better wholesalers, manufactors, etc. Like I know nothing about trade shows...any suggestions? Where does everyone else find thier stuff?

Call the manufacturer, if they dont deal with small businesses, ask them for their wholesale distributor information. Then call around to all the wholesale distributors and find out who will work with you...This is how the pros do it, lots of phone calls and research.

Or you could go to world wide brands if you dont want to do the research yourself. They are in my signature.

You will cut out all the middlemen going these routes.
