Direct Approach can Work in Product Sourcing
If you’re trying to sell on eBay or build a business elsewhere, it’s important to find a real wholesale source for your products. Often overlooked is the ‘direct approach.’ For example, if you are wanting to sell Baby Swede baby products, go right to their website.
In cases like this, you’ll find the website to be a presentation site where you can’t buy anything because they don’t sell directly to the public. But it will contain various tidbits of information about the company. Try using the contact information to contact them.
Identify yourself as a business who is interested in re-selling their product. Give them your location, and ask how you can contact the distributor or rep. They may give you the information or they may have the supplier rep contact you. You will be surprised how often this works and how often you can find product sourcing this way. One tip: have your business license / resale number ready - they’ll usually ask for this.
