Wholesale refers to the practice of buying branded items in bulk from a manufacturer, supplier, or distributor, at a discounted price<\/span> and reselling them <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on Amazon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of selling wholesale on Amazon is not much different from other business models. If you are wondering how to wholesale on Amazon, then you just have to take the following steps:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create an Amazon Seller account<\/strong>: To start selling wholesale on Amazon, you&#8217;ll need to create an Amazon Seller account. This will allow you to list your products, manage your inventory, and track your sales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Find a profitable product to sell<\/strong>: The next thing to do before you launch an Amazon wholesale business is to research and find a profitable product to sell. Look for products with high demand and low competition, and ensure that the profit margin is worth the investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Source the product from a manufacturer<\/strong>: Once you&#8217;ve found a profitable product, it&#8217;s time to source it from a manufacturer. You can find manufacturers through online directories, trade shows, or even by reaching out to suppliers directly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create your product listing<\/strong>: When creating your product listing, ensure that it&#8217;s optimized for search engines and highlights the unique features of your product. Include high-quality images, detailed descriptions, and competitive pricing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Launch and promote your product<\/strong>: Once you have created your product listings, you should create launch and marketing strategies to help increase your chances of sales. Utilize Amazon&#8217;s advertising tools, social media, and influencer marketing to drive traffic to your product listing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manage your inventory, monitor sales, and scale your business<\/strong>: As your business grows, it&#8217;s important to manage your inventory, monitor your sales, and scale your business. This includes keeping track of stock levels, adjusting prices, and expanding your product line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Opt_for_Amazon_FBA_or_FBM\"><\/span>Should You Opt for Amazon FBA or FBM?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of factors will influence the fulfillment model you should go with. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you sell Amazon bulk items, you also have to consider what inventory storage and fulfillment method you would like to use. For your Amazon wholesale business, you have two options: Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) or Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the FBM model, third-party sellers are responsible for storing inventory, packing and shipping customers\u2019 orders, and customer service. And under the FBA model, third-party sellers send their inventory to Amazon\u2019s warehouse, also known as a Fulfillment Center, and Amazon stores their inventory for them. Amazon also handles picking, packing, shipping, and customer service on their behalf.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re considering <\/span><b>selling wholesale on Amazon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a more suitable option. You don\u2019t have to worry about inventory storage, fulfillment, and customer service because Amazon is taking care of it. With them doing the heavy lifting, the burden on you is less and you can focus on scaling your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/pre-register-email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-3-970x-250-copy-min.jpg\" alt=\"Zonbase free trial\" class=\"wp-image-10487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-3-970x-250-copy-min.jpg 970w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-3-970x-250-copy-min-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-3-970x-250-copy-min-768x198.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-3-970x-250-copy-min-150x39.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-3-970x-250-copy-min-450x116.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Amazon FBA also offers other benefits such as:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatic eligibility for Prime shipping<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leveraging Amazon\u2019s efficient logistics infrastructure and customer service<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased chances of winning the Buy Box&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use FBA, you will have to pay Amazon some fees though. You will be charged fulfillment fees and monthly inventory storage fees. However, these fees might end up less than the costs you will incur if you handle fulfillment on your own. Inventory storage and order fulfillment under the FBM model<\/span> can be quite expensive. Especially if you are shipping fragile and bulky objects such as big-screen television sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, if your products are heavy-weight or don\u2019t sell quickly due to low demand, then FBA may not be the best fulfillment method for you. You may have to store inventory, pick and pack orders, and ship product items to customers yourself.<\/span> Thus, selling wholesale on Amazon makes much more sense when combined with FBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know what <\/span><b>this<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> entails, you\u2019re probably wondering how wholesale is different from other selling models. After all, they all involve product sourcing and selling to consumers for profit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep reading to find out.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-on-amazon-fba-for-beginners-a-step-by-step-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HOW TO SELL ON AMAZON FBA FOR BEGINNERS: A STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wholesale_on_Amazon_vs_Other_Amazon_Business_Models\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Wholesale on Amazon vs. Other Amazon Business Models<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling wholesale on Amazon is not the only way to make money. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other business models used by other sellers are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private label<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/a-beginners-guide-to-amazon-retail-arbitrage-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retail arbitrage<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dropshipping<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you\u2019ll soon see, the process of starting a wholesale business is similar to that of other Amazon businesses. However, wholesale differs from other business models in some significant respects. To start an Amazon wholesale website, you have to know how to sell wholesale products on Amazon. And selling wholesale on Amazon requires a lot of planning. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s do a quick comparison between selling wholesale on Amazon and other selling models:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Wholesale vs. Private label:<\/strong> Private label is, by far, the most popular business model on Amazon. Private label involves sourcing products from third-party manufacturers or suppliers and selling them under your label or brand. Both private labeling and wholesale involve some negotiation with a manufacturer or supplier. However, private label sellers sell products under their brand name while wholesalers sell already existing branded products. <\/span>As a result, when wholesalers want to list their products, they do not need to create a new product listing. Instead, they match an existing listing. Private label sellers, on the other hand, have to create a new product listing. This is the difference between private labeling and selling wholesale on Amazon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wholesale vs. Retail Arbitrage: Retail arbitrage is the practice of purchasing products at a discounted price from retail stores and reselling them at a higher price. Both wholesalers and retail arbitrage sellers buy already existing branded products to resell. Also, both wholesalers and retail arbitrage sellers take advantage of discount prices. But while wholesalers purchase items in bulk, retail arbitrage sellers purchase individual items or a small number of items. Also, wholesalers negotiate directly with the supplier or manufacturer for lower prices. But retail arbitrage sellers do not deal directly with manufacturers\/suppliers. They simply buy discounted items, usually products on sale or clearance, at a retail outlet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Wholesale vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/dropshipping-on-amazon-a-beginners-guide-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dropshipping<\/a>: <\/strong>There are quite a few differences between selling wholesale on Amazon<\/span> and dropshipping. First of all, dropshipping doesn&#8217;t require you to maintain an inventory. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dropshipping involves listing items for sale and forwarding a customer\u2019s order details to a manufacturer\/supplier to fulfill the order on the seller\u2019s behalf. Both drop shippers and wholesalers sell already existing branded products. But drop shippers do not own inventory or fulfill orders themselves since they only act as a middleman. On the other hand, wholesalers are responsible for keeping and maintaining inventory and fulfilling orders themselves.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know the similarities and differences between <\/span><b>selling wholesale<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and other business models, why should you choose to <\/span><b>sell<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> over other selling methods?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_of_Selling_Wholesale_on_Amazon\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pros of Selling Wholesale on Amazon<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><strong>You can leverage the popularity of established brands<\/strong><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The wholesale marketplace relies on the popularity of the name brand you are selling. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a wholesaler, you are selling products of established brands that are already in high demand. This is one of the best advantages of selling wholesale on Amazon. So your customer base is guaranteed and you don\u2019t have to invest so much effort in marketing. Since the brands already handle their marketing and promotion<\/span>, you can just leverage this. Wholesale sales are often more profitable too if you buy them in bulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><strong>Easy and quick to set up<\/strong><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With wholesaling, you don\u2019t have to deal with extensive product and market research since you\u2019re choosing products from millions of brands. Once you find a supplier to stock your inventory, your business operations can be up and running in less than six weeks.&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><strong>Profitable<\/strong><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the award for the most profitable model goes to private labels, wholesalers turn in a profit quickly. Jungle Scout took <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/amazon-business-models\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a survey of sellers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and results showed that 57% of wholesalers gained profit in less than 3 months. But for private label sellers, 65% said it took them six months to turn in a profit. Amazon bulk items can get high-profit margins if you\u2019re able to negotiate with suppliers for fairly low pricing, you\u2019ll get good profit margins.<\/span> Wholesale sales can be profitable because you can get huge discounts for buying in bulk, unlike other selling models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><strong>Timesaving<\/strong><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">selling wholesale on Amazon<\/span>, you are spared the hassle of creating new product listings. You don&#8217;t need to worry about building a brand and aggressively marketing your products. So you get to invest more time and energy in building a sustainable business. You can focus more on sourcing products, offering great customer service, and getting good reviews, all of which help grow your business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><strong>Guaranteed Inventory Availability<\/strong><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Selling wholesale<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> guarantees that you will always have products in stock as long as your supplier keeps manufacturing. This easily translates to repeat customers who will keep coming to re-order products from you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sounds great, right? But before deciding to start selling, you should also consider the drawbacks of the wholesale selling model so that you will be well-prepared to handle them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at some of them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cz-7p9Nl9JM\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons_of_Selling_Wholesale_on_Amazon\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cons of Selling Wholesale on Amazon<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><strong>The level of competition is high<\/strong><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s great that you don\u2019t have to create a new listing, adding your offer to an existing listing means competing with multiple sellers of the same product. To get ahead of the pack, you will have to offer lower prices than your competitors, which could significantly reduce your profits.&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><strong>Upfront investment<\/strong><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, <\/span><b>this<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does not cost as much as a private label.

So we will be sharing with you some tips and strategies in these respects, to help you successfully start and run a wholesale business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conduct_thorough_product_research\"><\/span><b><strong>Conduct thorough product research<\/strong><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beauty of the wholesale model is that you get to thrive off the success of established brands. So make sure you look for established brands with products in high demand. You don\u2019t want to end up with a low-demand branded product that you have to market from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good place to start is Amazon\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/bestsellers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best-selling products page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Amazon&#8217;s best sellers rake in huge sales so you can be certain there is high customer demand. There is also a high level of competition, so winning the Buy Box multiple times is necessary to earn money from bestselling products.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should steer away from products that are already sold by Amazon because Amazon is known for offering really low prices that you cannot compete with. You should also avoid products sold by a private label seller because it will be difficult to source products from the manufacturer. Besides, private label sellers can block you from adding your offer to their existing listing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do you find out if a product is in high demand? By relying on data. The best business decisions are backed by data. There are tons of software to help you with <\/span><b>Amazon sales analytics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but we recommend Zonbase.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/sales-estimator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zonbase\u2019s Sales Estimator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get information about a product\u2019s monthly sales.

Zonbase has several product research tools to help you assess a product\u2019s potential profitability.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/chrome-extension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zonbase Chrome Extension<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tool, you can obtain data about a product while searching directly within Amazon.com. The Amazon FBA Chrome extension tool shows you a product\u2019s average monthly revenues, average monthly units sold, sales rank, price, and so on. With this information, you can assess how much demand a product gets.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should use the previous tools if you already have a product or a shortlist of products in mind and want to validate or eliminate your options. But if you\u2019re struggling to think of product ideas, you can just start your search with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/zon-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ZonResearch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tool on Zonbase. With ZonResearch, all you have to do is set your preferences for a product and the tool will sort through Amazon\u2019s database to give you results that match your criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fzonreasearch-filter-1024x521.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fzonreasearch-filter-1024x521.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fzonreasearch-filter-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fzonreasearch-filter-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fzonreasearch-filter-150x76.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fzonreasearch-filter-450x229.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fzonreasearch-filter.jpg 1169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_the_data_to_calculate_profit\"><\/span><b><strong>Use the data to calculate profit<\/strong><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have found some high-demand products, you have to estimate how much profit you are likely to gain. You need to take the following steps:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, ensure that your product price is within 2% of the Buy Box price. If you don\u2019t know what the Buy Box is, the Buy Box refers to the widget on the top right side of a product page where customers can view pricing and add items to their cart<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out the fees Amazon will charge for the product. Some Amazon fees depend on your selling plan and fulfillment method. Amazon has provided an FBA calculator for sellers. Just input the ASIN of the product, input the data, and review the result.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know the price and expected fees, you need to calculate your estimated profit. Your profit is the product\u2019s selling price minus the product\u2019s cost price and Amazon fees.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/sales-estimator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zonbase Sales Estimator Tool<\/a>, find out the estimate of the product\u2019s monthly sales. Because you are likely to have competitors, not all those monthly sales will go to you. So the next step is to divide the number of monthly sales by the number of sellers on the listing including you. The result is an estimate of your monthly sales.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After getting an idea of the number of sales you are likely to make every month, calculate your inventory turn rate. This refers to the inventory level you should have at hand to meet your sales target. As a beginner, you want to stock inventory for at least 2-3 months. This is to avoid paying Amazon\u2019s long-term storage fees if you are using Amazon FBA.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_the_right_supplier\"><\/span><b><strong>Find the right supplier<\/strong><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have researched and found profitable branded products you can sell wholesale, it\u2019s time to source those products from a supplier.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding a supplier as a wholesaler is a different ballgame from finding a supplier as a private label seller. As a wholesaler, you are dealing directly with manufacturers or brand owners, not suppliers or manufacturers in China or overseas. You just simply need to contact the brand owners or manufacturers and inform them that you\u2019re interested in opening a wholesale account with them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>This approach has several advantages:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brand owners are most likely in the U.S which means you can receive your inventory faster. Also, you don\u2019t have to deal with issues like overseas shipments and customs clearance.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to deal with communication barriers like differences in language and timezone. The suppliers you contact will most likely use U.S working hours<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to worry about design, logo, and packaging because you are not creating a new brand. As a wholesaler, you sell the products of already-known brands.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Clash_Of_The_Titans_Alibaba_VS_Amazon\"><\/span>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/clash-of-the-titans-amazon-vs-alibaba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clash Of The Titans: Alibaba VS. Amazon<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, finding a supplier as a wholesaler has its drawbacks. Unlike Chinese manufacturers who will readily do business with you, you\u2019re dealing with established brands who will have to screen you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you contact a brand owner, there is certain information they will require from you so be sure to have them handy. This includes:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Incorporation documents<\/strong>: To sell as a wholesaler, you have to register a legal business entity, that is, a limited liability company (LLC). You can also do business as a sole proprietor in some states. Suppliers will want to see your company certificate or business registration information.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resale certificate issued by your state<\/strong>: If you\u2019re in the U.S., manufacturers or suppliers may also request your resale certificate (or reseller license). This certificate allows you to purchase products for resale from a brand, distributor, or wholesaler without paying local sales tax. Without this, most wholesalers or brands will not allow you to buy wholesale.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Employer Identification Number (EIN)<\/strong>: The EIN is a form of tax identification for a business. The EIN is particularly vital if you have employees or operate as a corporation or partnership. If you operate as a sole proprietor without employees, the EIN is not legally required but it could be beneficial to your business.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know what you need to conduct business with manufacturers and brand owners, it\u2019s time to find them out. The process is so easy, all you have to do is run a Google search. You\u2019ll certainly find their website in the search results. Open their website and scroll to the \u201cContact Us\u201d segment, and send them an email stating your intentions to open a wholesale account with them. You can also reach out to their sales representatives if their numbers are on the website or any social media account.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/pre-register-email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-5-970x-250-copy-min.jpg\" alt=\"Zonbase free trial\" class=\"wp-image-10485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-5-970x-250-copy-min.jpg 970w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-5-970x-250-copy-min-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-5-970x-250-copy-min-768x198.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-5-970x-250-copy-min-150x39.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Banner-5-970x-250-copy-min-450x116.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to locate wholesale suppliers is to attend trade shows. This is particularly useful if you are interested in selling a product that is not yet on Amazon. At tradeshows, you can have face-to-face conversations with brand owners and learn about their values, experiences, and pain points. It also presents the opportunity for you to pitch yourself to them and show them how you can add value to their brand.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Negotiate_win-win_with_suppliers\"><\/span><b><strong>Negotiate win-win with suppliers<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to be a reseller for a known brand, then you can be sure other sellers are knocking on their doors too. Apart from the possibly high competition, known brands are large companies or conglomerates that spend a lot on global marketing initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To stand a chance with established brands and stand out from the competition, you have to show them how you can add value to their brand. The main objective of companies is to make profits. So the most important thing to demonstrate is how you can increase their sales.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, do your research on the company, its<\/span> annual revenue, its<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> products, etc. Then come up with specific aspects you think they can do better in and suggest practical solutions to the issues you highlighted. For example, if their product packaging is unappealing, you could suggest a more compelling design. Or if the product images available online are of poor quality, you can highlight that too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to convince known brands that you\u2019re worth working with is by showing them proof of your past success, either as an Amazon seller or an offline seller.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For brands that do not yet have a presence, make them aware of the benefits of using Amazon as an additional sales channel. Also demonstrate how you intend to leverage the power and potential of Amazon to make them more sales, for example, by creating new optimized product listings from scratch, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also need to negotiate prices and order quantities<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are you will get several no\u2019s for an answer at first, but don\u2019t give up. Negotiations involve a seemingly unending back-and-forth so keep following up until you get a favorable deal.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monitor_your_inventory_and_sales\"><\/span><b><strong>Monitor your inventory and sales<\/strong><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key ingredient for successfully <\/span>selling wholesale<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to know when, and in what quantity, to re-order in bulk from your supplier. First, you need to monitor your inventory level as you fulfill orders so you can know when to stock up.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also need to monitor your sales history, so you can know the number of bulk quantities to purchase. If you order too much, and your products don\u2019t sell quickly, you\u2019ll spend a lot on inventory storage. And if you order too little, and your products sell quickly, you might miss out on sales.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you observe that your products are not selling fast enough, you should consider adjusting the price. You could even source for a new product.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a side hustle and stream of income that won\u2019t take too much of your money and time, then you should get into <\/span>selling wholesale<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
