Wholesale Bracelets

Buying Wholesale Bracelets

Starting a retail business does not have to be that difficult, with a little logic and research, you will find that one thing above all will determine whether your business is successful or not – and that is, whether or not you have the right product.  To my mind, the best way to start a retail business is to choose a product that you know is always popular, easy and cheap to package and deliver, and fashion-forward.  That is why it pays to consider buying something like wholesale bracelets.

Buying bracelets wholesale means that you will be able to get a lot of product at a good price, allowing you to add on your retail charge and make a profit.  The reason it makes sense to start with a wholesale bracelet is that, regardless of the specific current fashion trends, bracelets are always popular: every woman (and now increasingly men) knows that the right fashion accessory can really set off an outfit to perfection.

Bracelets are also good wholesale items to buy because, so long as you have a good retailing point and advertising, they are the kinds of things that lots of people like to buy as gifts.  Plus, as fashions change so often, so do bracelets and so it is a good way for most people to update their look without changing their entire wardrobe.

However, it will be important that you keep an eye on the latest fashion trends before you commit yourself to bulk buying a particular style of wholesale bracelet; after all there are lots of different styles to consider – such as wholesale charm bracelets, ankle bracelets, cuff and bangle bracelets.

Spending time researching fashion magazine and fashion shows will quickly help you decide which wholesale bracelets to buy.  But be careful – whilst current trends, for example, may seem to be favoring bright, beaded cuff bracelets, this trend may be short lived.  The equally current trend for chunky, metal cuff bracelets may well prove to have a longer shelf life, so I, personally, would go for that when buying.

Once you have researched the fashion trends, you now will have to make sure that you are properly registered as a business so that you can easily process your wholesale order – getting in touch with your local chamber of commerce or business advice service will no doubt get you the information you need to be registered.

Now you are ready to find the wholesale bracelet supplier you want to deal with.  My top tips are:

• look for a reliable wholesale bracelet company – look for any positive client testimonials, and check on business registers to confirm that the wholesale business is legitimate

• make sure you compare the prices of a range of different wholesale companies – and be sure when you’re making comparisons to do so for like for like products and quantities

• think carefully before you place your order – whilst the price may be less for more product, be realistic about how much of the product you think you can sell, because the last thing you want is to have stock left over

Once you have mastered the art of choosing the right wholesale bracelet stock at the right price from the right trader, the next step of the game is to perfect the art of presenting your product to the customer.  Think of innovative ways to display, package and market your wholesale bracelets – it pays to give a good quality personal retail service so that your clients will keep coming back and recommend you too!

Wholesale Bangle Bracelets

Bangle Bracelets

A perennial favorite for both girls and grown women alike is the bangle bracelet – as a child I was obsessed with them and I still love them now, and I recently bought some bangles for my three-year-old niece who went crazy for them!  So it would make sense to stock up on wholesale bangle bracelets for your jewelery business.  But thanks to the endless choice in styles and materials, the trick will be how to decide on exactly which bangles to stock.

The thing to do is to clearly define your target client. You may decide the best way to go is to target bangles for young girls.  These are a great idea because they are usually extremely cheap (mostly made of plastic), very lightweight so easy and less costly to deliver, and often you will get bangle ranges which coordinate with a particular girls favorite brand, such as Hello Kitty or Disney Princesses ranges.  If you’re aiming to the young girls fashion market, you may also want to consider stocking “make-your-own” bangle and bracelet kits as these are a great way to combine the natural love of all things girly and a useful educational activity.

Going along the same thought process, stocking inspirational, memorial or personalized, engraved bangles aimed towards children’s sizes may be a potentially interesting business strategy.  These kinds of bangle can be more expensive and high-end, as they are essentially seen as an heirloom product – something that a godmother might buy for her godchild – that gets handed down from generation to generation.

Another specific wholesale bangle bracelet you might consider targeting is the Indian glass bangle market – these bangles are especially worn during wedding and honeymoon celebrations and have a number of symbolic meanings.  Indeed the market for Indian bangles is very extensive as bangles are an essential item for many Indian women. Whilst the glass bangles are the ones mostly involved in symbolic wedding practices, stacks of thin metal and even plastic bangles are also very popular.

In fact, the idea of stacking bangle bracelets together is key when considering this kind of bracelet.  It seems that over the years the trend for using large, chunky bangle bracelets, to create a fashion statement, has become a major theme in the haute couture fashion houses and this has been readily accepted on the high street. Indeed, in very recent years, it seems that bangle bracelets have become massive – quite literally!

Understanding, however, that the way to wear these statement bangles is by stacking them together means that you might want to choose ranges of wholesale bangle bracelets that go together.  You could, for example, stock lots of different styles of bangle but all within the same color group.  And then repeat that idea for all the other colors.

The only problem with buying wholesale bracelets and targeting a specific market is that you are rather backing yourself into a corner and are not open to wider markets. It is, therefore, more important than ever to consider carefully who you are going to target and then work out how!
