How to Find Wholesalers & Clothing Vendors for Boutiques

How to Find Wholesalers for Your Online Boutique

One big question I get from a lot of people is on where to find Wholesale Clothing Suppliers for Boutiques
This is a question I had myself and never seemed to find the right answer to that question. With so much advice flooding around the internet with so called ”Wholesale Supplier Websites”, etc, its no wonder most people give up at the thought of even starting a business which is why I decided to start my business Dropshipping rather than buying Wholesale. Dropshipping will help you test the market before you invest big on wholesale – Unless of course you have some money to buy stock before hand.
However if you are interested in finding wholesalers for your online boutique, then this article will show you a few steps on how to find wholesalers for your online store.

1. Attend Tradeshows

A great way find wholesalers for your clothing or online boutique is to attend Tradeshows. Trade shows are great places to meet other people in the fashion industry, from wholesalers, to business owners like yourself. This is a great platform to connect directly with these suppliers, exchange contact details and eventually get access to their wholesale clothing and merchandise easily. Meeting and connecting with  wholesale clothing suppliers face to face also brings in the element of security because you are dealing with an individual as oppose to a Robot online. Simply Google Tradeshows in your local area and you should find a few events in your area or nearby you can attend and make connections.

2. Just Google It

It’s funny how so many people have the answer right infront of them but yet don’t make the most of it. If you are interested in plus size clothing, then google ”plus size clothing wholesalers” and you will be shocked at the many results you will find. Do the same for any niche(s) you are interested in and Google will work the magic for you. One thing you need to be ready for when it comes to finding wholesale suppliers is: be prepared to INVEST TIME doing your research. Not one wholesale supplier will have all the clothing or products you plan on selling on your website. Personally I have 5-6 different suppliers I use for my online boutique ”Fash Vie”. So if are you serious about sourcing wholesale products, then be willing to invest some time and of course a whole lot of money cos buying wholesale supplies come with a big price tag.
So these are my top 2 methods on finding wholesale suppliers for your online boutique. If you are looking for a great method that I use to source my wholesale supplies without having to invest a lot of money upfront, then check out my FREE training course at the RUN BOUTIQUE ACADEMY.
