5 Benefits of Buying from a Socks Wholesaler

As a business selling a product, you have to get it from somewhere, right? This somewhere is usually a product manufacturer, wholesaler, supplier, or a distributor. This applies to all retail fashion products including socks, which come from a socks wholesaler.

Wholesalers play a big role in the supply chain for retailers. In the socks industry, this is no exception.

In this article, we’ll be focusing on socks wholesalers, the differences between distributors and suppliers, and the benefits of working and partnering with a socks wholesaler.

That said, many of the tips and benefits included here apply to wholesalers in the fashion industry in general.

 

What is a wholesaler?

Let’s start at the beginning.

The Oxford dictionary defines a wholesaler as “a person or company that sells goods in large quantities at low prices, typically to retailers.”

In some cases, the wholesaler and the manufacturer are the same person.

In others, wholesalers buy products from one or more manufacturers and then resell them in bulk to retailers or consumers – usually at a discounted price.

For example, if you’re a store that sells socks or is looking to add socks to your offerings, you’ll want to buy these socks in bulk. This will help you cut down on the cost of buying these products.

To do that, you’ll need to find a socks wholesaler in your country, state, or region.

Whether you’re retailer or a wholesaler, you can sell products to both retailers and customers.

Another option would be to get your wholesale socks in bulk from a supplier or distributor.

Many people seem to think that wholesaling is old-fashioned and dying out because of online retailers. But the truth is, it’s because of the growing number of online stores, demand for wholesalers and buying products in bulk is growing.

Online mega retailers like Amazon, are also contributing to this increasing demand for wholesale products.

“While ecommerce enables direct-to-consumer brands to thrive by lowering the barrier to setting up shop, wholesale still offers consumers a convenient shopping experience where they can find everything they need in one place,” explains Shopify.

There are wholesalers in pretty much every industry you can think of! Whether it’s chairs for dining tables, coffee mugs, coffee machines, or equipment such as TV screens and air conditioners.

However, for the purpose of this article, our focus will be on socks wholesalers.

 

Socks suppliers vs socks distributors

But what is the difference between a socks supplier and a socks distributor?

A socks supplier can be defined as a person or company that buys products from a manufacturer and offers them to retailers.

“A supplier works with distributors and wholesalers to get them the goods that they need. Without suppliers, no retailers would have access to the products that they want to sell,” explains Product Distribution Strategy.

While a supplier may manufacture products, they wouldn’t have the channels or resources to sell to customers directly.

That’s where distributors come in. Distributors are those who “have the right channels and marketing abilities to distribute their products to wholesalers and sometimes directly to retailers too.”

Imagine the entire product chain. It starts with a manufacturer, who sells their product in bulk to a supplier or wholesaler. This supplier then has to use the services of a distributor to get their product to retailers and other businesses.

Another way to do this would be through a wholesaler, who can sell to both retailers and individuals. However, they sell their products in bulk.

Suppliers are generally a business-to-business (B2B) type of seller. They don’t get in contact with retailers or shoppers.

“When working with a supplier, you first need to know how to find the best supplier for your business. It’s also essential to know how to work with them and how to get the most out of your business relationship,” Product Distribution Strategy advises.

To get the most out of your relationship with a supplier, in this case a socks supplier, you have to be aware of what they can and can’t do for you.

Benefits of buying from a socks wholesaler

As a retailer, you’ll find that there are many benefits to buying from a socks wholesaler.

Here are the 5 main benefits:

1. Saves time

By working with a socks wholesaler, your store, whether online or on-ground, can save lots of time and money.

Wholesalers have large product varieties and are often able to deliver on short notice.

2. Ability to make a profit

Retail businesses get their products in bulk from a wholesaler. Because of that, they get special rates and discounts.

For example, if you’re an online or physical retailer, you can make a bulk order of socks from Moody Socks Factory and get a generous discount.

The discount you get from a wholesaler is usually bigger than what you’d get from a supplier or distributor.

This helps you cut down on your costs, which in turn, helps you make bigger profits.

3. Large product variety

Another benefit to buying from a socks wholesaler is having a large variety of socks types and designs at your disposal.

Suppliers might opt to buy one type of socks or one color or one brand. On the other hand, socks wholesalers have larger varieties that they can sell to retailers.

4. Online purchasing

Wholesalers tend to be larger in size and retail volume than suppliers and distributors. That’s why many socks wholesalers have websites where you, as a retailer or distributor, can buy socks in bulk online.

In addition, you can determine the quality you want and get it delivered to your store’s address within a few days.

If you’re working with Moody Socks, our website is highly secure for online bulk purchases for local retailers, other wholesalers, distributors, and suppliers. You also get high quality packaging and a sock stand for your store.

5. Wider geographical coverage

Another benefit to working with a socks wholesaler is that they can cover a larger geographical footprint.

Importing your socks from Egypt

Over the centuries, Egypt has been famous for its Egyptian cotton. And to-date, Egyptian companies continue to export cotton and cotton-made apparel including socks.

The United States has generally been the top export market for Egypt, taking up roughly 50% of Egypt’s apparel exports followed by Europe with 35%, according to the Value Chain Analysis for Apparel from Egypt report released in February 2020.

The report was commissioned by The Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries (CBI), a subset of the Austrian Foundation for Development Research.

One of the benefits that companies often seek and that Egypt proudly offers is the availability of raw Egyptian cotton. This in turn allows Egyptian companies, like Moody Socks, to manufacture products locally at affordable prices for companies, retailers, wholesalers, and consumers.

Moreover, Egypt’s free-trade agreements support the country’s ability to collaborate with international wholesalers and retailers.

All of this translates into a fertile ground for wholesalers and retailers who would like to import their products from Egypt.

In addition, to high quality products, international businesses can expect higher profit margins due to the low costs associated with Egyptian products.
