Find Wholesale Decorating Items

Buying wholesale decorating items can be the best solution when redecorating with a specific budget in mind. By purchasing your decorating items through wholesale-direct home decorating companies, which bypass retailers altogether, you will be able to redecorate your home without spending a fortune. The task can seem challenging though, if you are not familiar with wholesale buying. Follow these steps to make your path to that low wholesale price less complicated. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions


1. Research online for wholesale-direct home decorating warehouses that will sell directly to the public. Some wholesalers will only sell to you if you have a resale license or will purchase in quantity. You may want one lamp, but not an entire pallet, so it is important to note whether there is a minimum-purchase requirement. Call each wholesaler prior to visiting their warehouse or showroom and ask for any specific purchasing restrictions.


Additionally, wholesale-direct companies may have different return policies, specific customer service hours and may only be open to the public on certain days. You will gain from the price, but not have all the same benefits as with your local retailer when shopping wholesale.


2. Have your decorating plan in hand. These wholesalers normally carry thousands of items and you can become discouraged when attempting to find exactly what you are looking for. It is best to break down the items you need into categories such as crystal, candles, baskets or paintings.


3. Search for a wholesale buyer's index listing. You will have a vast array of wholesalers to quickly refer and browse through. The index carries a brief wholesaler description with specific details for purchasing products. It also separates each home decorating item they stock into categories to narrow down your search.


4. Examine items you plan to purchase carefully and make sure you buy all that you need at that time. Normally, these collections and items are discontinued merchandise, or may have minor manufacturing flaws. It is very important to ask these questions and check the merchandise thoroughly prior to your purchase. Ask if certain items are in stock or if additional items are available. For example, if you are purchasing lamp shades for a pair of lamps or centerpieces for a dining table and a buffet, purchase the pair or the main piece and its companion at the same time. Redecorating will often call for an extra item or complimentary piece to balance the room and it could be challenging to locate an item which is from a discontinued wholesale lot.
