Search Social Media 

Social media platforms open many doors for new opportunities, including finding the best retail wholesalers and building your online eCommerce store once you receive your stock. However, the approach you use to find wholesale fashion suppliers must be specific to the social media platform you’re using. For example, Instagram uses hashtags which make it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. Search #wholesale and you’ll find an abundance of options. The key here is to weed through the bad ones to find the high-quality fashion suppliers which can be a timely process, but with some time, patience and research, you can be left with a list of the best clothing wholesale suppliers. On Facebook, the best way to find fashion wholesale companies is to conduct a search for company pages – the same process that works well on Linkedin.

Conduct a Specific Search

Google can help you find absolutely everything you’re looking for, including the best fashion wholesale companies. However, it can be a timely process that requires you to sift through hundreds of pages of search results and websites if you aren’t specific with your search. So, instead of searching online for something generic, such as “fashion wholesalers”, narrow in on exactly what you’re looking for.  For example, if you’re looking for a new fashion supplier for bathing suits, search on Google for swimwear suppliers or wholesale bathing suits, and if you’re looking for dresses. This will leave you with a list of clothing suppliers that provide the specific item you’re searching for and many more.

Reach Out To The Manufacturer

Perhaps there’s a specific brand you want to add to your store. Sometimes, the best way to get that exact brand of clothing in your store, whether it’s a retail store or online fashion eCommerce, is to reach out to them directly. It’s possible that they do not provide their clothing to other fashion wholesale companies and require that all potential retailers go through them directly. And if they do not distribute their clothes directly to retailers, most companies will tell you who to contact to get their stock.

Check The Back of Magazines

Believe it or not, but magazines are still excellent sources for finding the best company wholesale companies. Not only that but you can trust that they’re reputable if they’re in a popular magazine because if they weren’t, they would not have made it onto the pages of that publication. So, just scroll to the back of the magazine to find a list of brands and manufacturers used for that issue.

The secret for using this tactic to find the best fashion suppliers is to pick up a bunch of magazines that are appropriate for your business – both world popular ones and smaller, local publications. However, you will want to do more research into the wholesale companies you find in the back of less popular magazines to ensure they’re reputable sources.
