Fake Jewelry In The Wholesale Jewelry Business

By Steve Peterson

When setting up a jewelry business it is important to acquire stock. A business owner will purchase stock at wholesale to keep costs down and maximise the profit. A business owner needs to source where they will buy their products from and build a relationship with the setting up a wholesale jewelry company. Buying at wholesale means buying a bulk amount of stock at a lower price than had it been sold individually. The buyer is able to get a reduced price due to the fact that a bulk amount of stock is purchased at once.

In the jewellery market there are many people offering wholesale prices, but you do have to be careful that the products are not copies. Many people sell copies as the genuine article. Not only is this illegal it also is morally wrong to sell a customer a fake brand.

Sometimes a company will buy products from a wholesaler only to find that they are copies. This can make the company lose a lot of money. They have two options do not sell the products and report the company they bought them from or sell the products and risk losing their reputation. If something seems to good to be true, most of the time it is. This is true in the world of wholesale.

There are different ways of finding out if a product is a copy before buying it. Do your research and do not buy off someone that you think is not legitimate. If the product is selling at a very low price then you will know that there is something wrong. Go with a company that you have been with before and that you know delivers what it says it will. Any new wholesaler businesses should be treated very carefully until you are sure that they are selling legitimate products.

Make sure that if products should have a warranty or guarantee that they do so. In previous years Ebay was attacked by an influx of fake, copied goods. This gives the genuine seller a bad name, but it also demonstrates that a business should be very careful when buying wholesale.

A genuine wholesaler must be found if the company buying the stock is to ensure that their stock is the genuine article. Different wholesalers offer different prices and someone needs to research the options of each wholesaler and what they have to offer.

When sourcing wholesalers it is important to have an idea of the price you want to purchase the products for and how much you will sell them for. A general profit can then be worked out on the amount of goods that are bought.

It is also important to work out where the products are sold. If you are new to wholesale goods then you might not have your own shop and the only place you can sell is either friends or online. Working out your target market will help when it comes to selling the products.

The internet has introduced a new meaning for small business owners who can source their wholesale stock online. When a new business emerges it can be difficult for them to source genuine wholesale companies. It might be best to talk to other people in the business and see if they will tell you where they source their products from. - 33380
