Wholesaling can be a great career choice. And lingerie can be so much fun. Combining the two can be a great way to make a good living with a fun product.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Large storage space
  • Office organizing materials
  • Lingerie samples
  1. Step 1

    Find your product. You will need a great deal of inventory to offer retailers or the public wholesale prices. Reach out to designers to order large quantities of their material. Both established and up-and-coming designers can benefit from you distributing their material.

  2. Step 2

    Store and organize your product. As your products come in, store them in a large space that keeps the product dry and clean and easily organized. A warehouse or large store space will allow you to find product easily and keep it separated by designer, color, style or price -- whatever organization system works best for you.

  3. Step 3

    Create marketing material. Whether you use a website, fliers, postcards or business cards, create a piece of material that gives the basic information about your business. Include contact information so future clients can easily get in touch with you.

  4. Step 4

    Visit retailers and promote your business. Find stores that would be interested in your product. Stores that carry product like yours are a great place to start since they are already comfortable with the product and know how to sell it. You should also reach out to stores that do not carry product like yours. This is a great opportunity for these stores to expand their business and for you to become their go-to wholesaler.

  5. Step 5

    Become an expert on your product. You should know your stock inside and out. This will make you stand out from other stores who may rely more on name recognition. Retailers want to know that you have a great product and the more you know about your lingerie, the better you will be able to sell it to the masses.
