If you have started a wholesale distribution business already, or are planning on starting one, your most important question is the following.

How do I market my wholesale distribution business?

You can have the best prices, the highest quality, and the most sought after names, but you will only make sales if store owners know what you have.

So how do you market your business?

As the owner of a wholesale business, www.closeoutexplosion.com I have the daily challenge of exposing my wholesale business to store owners. Like I said before, until they hear about me, they wont be able to buy my products.

So here are my recommended marketing strategies for wholesale distributors:

Marketing Strategy #1

Hit the streets. The most direct way to introduce your wholesale distributor business to retailers is by meeting them in person. Walk into their stores and show them your wholesale products. Dont fear rejection. Store owners are always looking for good deals on the merchandise they sell.

Marketing Strategy #2

Print up a flyer showcasing your products. Include clear pictures, product descriptions, and prices. Call retailers and let them know that you will be mailing them out a flyer listing your wholesale products. Follow up the mailing with a call requesting a time to meet in person. You can find a list of retailers by using your local yellow pages.

Marketing Strategy #3

Advertise your wholesale distribution business through online search engines. There are search engines that reach specific market segments, such as www.wholesalequest.com which is aimed specifically at wholesale buyers. The key is to ensure that your ad is seen by people looking for wholesale products.
