Buying From a Conveyour Manufacturer: Why are Wholesale Suppliers Inevitable?
We get email here all the time asking us why Internet Retailers shouldn’t just buy the products they sell, directly from the Factory at wholesale.
Here, at Dropshiparea, we get a lot of mail asking why it is not possible for a retailer to contact the manufacturer directly and buy the products from it at wholesale. Really, it would be much better if you could contact the product manufacturer and buy items at considerably lower prices with no middlemen participating in the process, wouldn’t it?
Of course, it would! But…It is rarely possible in reality. Manufacturers will hardly jump at a chance to collaborate with a single retailer. Why? Let’s find out why.
Manufacturers have their hands occupied even without sales problems. Producing something is a tiresome and time-consuming process.
For, instance, first of all a manufacturer has to patent its new product, then he has to find suppliers of the parts of his product, later he has to buy and set up machines that will manufacture the item. And so on and so force.
When it comes to selling the manufactured products there can be two possible ways:
- The manufacturer decides not to collaborate with a wholesale supplier. In this case he has to rent its own warehouse. He has to spend years establishing relation with chain stores and single retailers (in this case it is possible to contact the manufacturer directly and buy item from him at wholesale)
- The manufacturer contacts a supplier. The supplier already has trustworthy mechanisms, contacts and thousands of stores to supply the products to. The supplier also has its own warehouses and the manufacturer can simply sell its product by the truckload.
Do you see it now? Do you really think that a knowledgeable manufacturer will try to reinvent the selling mechanism instead of using a ready one? I don’t think so.
That is why use are not likely to contact a manufacturer and buy directly from it.
Wholesale suppliers are the place every one buys from: consumers and huge corporations. You won’t be able to avoid this kind of middleman in any kind of business.
