Making a Profit on Wholesale Pocket Knives

I've wanted to set up shop as a wholesaler for a long time now. I've always known that there's good money to be made this way, but I haven't really had sufficient motivation to put all my effort into such a venture. However, now that things at my regular job are slowing down, I've finally got time to see if I can make a go of my own business. Plus, I have a great connection that can get me a deal on wholesale pocket knives, which is a product I'd be interested in selling, so this seems like the perfect time to get started.

Obviously, choosing a product to sell is one of the most important considerations for anyone wishing to set up shop as a distributor. Fortunately, almost anything will work for you as a wholesaler, be it sunglasses, costume jewelry, athletic apparel, shoes, handbags, or whatever else you can think of. As long as the item is in demand, you ought to be able to realize some sort of profit on the transaction. As I mentioned before, I have a friend who can hook me up with awesome deals on wholesale pocket knives, so that's why I'm going to focus on these products at the beginning.

Now that I have a product to sell, the next thing I have to do is set up a reliable distribution chain that allows me to purchase wholesale pocket knives from my supplier and turn around and sell them to my customers. I have the supplier phase worked out, at least for the time being. As my business grows, I'll likely want to start making my purchases from several different sources, but for now my friend will do. Finding customers for my wholesale pocket knives will certainly pose a challenge in the initial stages. I'll probably have to do a lot of marketing and make a ton of cold calls in order to find some takers, but I have a few leads to work with, so I'm not too worried.

I'll also have to locate cheap storage or warehouse space where I can keep my wholesale pocket knives while I try to find buyers. In the beginning, I might be able to use my garage, but I'll eventually want to move the products to an off-site location when I start dealing in the massive quantities required in order to make a profit. While I'm out there looking, I might as well check around for office space as well. There could come a point in time when I'll appreciate having an entirely separate area to go to while working on buying and selling wholesale pocket knives.

Becoming a wholesaler is actually not that complicated. I've outlined the major hurdles above, and while I'm sure I'll run into additional obstacles once I start selling my wholesale pocket knives, I'm confident I'll be able to roll with the punches and work things out in the end. No matter what happens, I'm excited to embark on this next chapter in my life!
