Seeing your handcrafted beauties being loved around the world is truly satisfying. But to become really successful in this business, you need to become wholesale sellers. As wholesale seller you can get a much wider customer base and can earn higher profits. Its Handicraft has a great network of reliable wholesale buyers from all over the world and it is one of the best platforms to sell your handcrafted products.

Let us take a look at some of the best and most effective ways to become a successful wholesale seller of handcrafted goods.

• Go out and grab the opportunities, do not wait for the opportunity to come to you: Research the market and check out people and businesses who buy the type of products that you sell. If you think particular buyers or retailers would be a good match for your business, contact them. Write a mail highlighting your specialties, what sets you apart from others and send that to them alongwith some of your samples, a nicely created catalogue, your special offers etc. and politely ask them to consider you.

• Set correct pricing: Make a correct evaluation of your work. This is very important. To become a good wholesale seller, you must take into account everything that you are doing to create a thing and set price so that it accounts for everything you have invested (time, money, labor etc.) and make sure not only does it bring in profit for your business but also benefits the wholesale buyer. If you are contacted by a buyer to create some customized items, make sure you give that buyer great service and also charge additionally for that extra effort.

• Do not charge very high: Yes, you must set your prices according to the time, money and labor that was needed to create the product. But in doing so, keep in mind that the price must not go too high. As a wholesale seller, you need to keep prices low and reasonable to attract customers.

• Always set minimum order value and minimum order number: This will help you to avoid losses. Many wholesale buyers tend to buy the least value possible just so that they can check out your craft quality, your customer services etc. Among them, you may not hear from quite a few buyers again. To tackle such one time buyers, you need to provide a limit to the minimum value and minimum number of items one can order and avoid losses.

• Provide actual delivery time: The buyers should understand that making a purely handcrafted product takes longer time than machine made products. So, it is better to always provide the actual time needed for creating and shipping the product honestly to the buyer. Also before taking any order you should think whether you will be able to complete it in the time that you have set.
