Where should I sell my wholesale products?
Which are the best wholesale products to sell?
Is it better to sell products wholesale or retail?
Which products or types of products are good for this? Which sales sites are best out of Amazon, Walmart, Ebay, and Etsy? Are there other sales sites as well?
hi everyone
okay so my boss recently told me he’d like me to try selling a few boxes of restaurant supplies that we have. we are a wholesale company so we have tons of product. he just decided he wants me to have a try at selling and see how it goes i guess (?)
it’s boxes of takeout containers and lids in bulk. and he suggested i market them on NEXTDOOR. this is where i need help. where in the world do i post them online for ppl to buy? wouldn’t it make more sense to market them to the already existing restaurant contacts we have???
idk. any advice is helpful. thank u guys :-)
Given the prominence Google is given brands & ecommerce stores these days in organic search, I'm revisiting some verticals with an eye towards wholesaling via Shopify (or other) platforms, but under my own brand label.
As I often do, these projects prompted me to document my thinking as I narrowed my list of the best wholesale items to resell into these categories.
My current thinking (subject to change), is to focus on these categories, or sub-niches of these categories:
-
Garden: I'm a big fan of the Epic Gardening brand story, growing from a humble blog to a gardening category juggernaut. Such a broad category that could be attacked similarly from different angles with content marketing and subtle product differentiation. Some great long tail niches and sub verticals like tomato gardening, raised bed gardening, etc...
-
Board Games & Puzzles: Tons of category depth here, many distributors and individual brands, easy to ship. Reminds me of why Jeff Bezos started with books... easy to ship and thousands of board games / puzzle varieties. Lots of long tail searches, too.
-
Pet Supplies: Fiercely competitive these days, but also incredibly deep and a growing macro trend (more pets than babies). I like some of the longer tails here, especially breed specific products. Also a good vertical to pair with YouTube and content marketing / education.
I cover the full list of 7 categories I like in this article over on the blog: https://thedigitalmerchant.com/best-wholesale-items-to-resell/
Did I miss any? Would love to riff on some ideas.
