Lets Talk Wholesale!

This is just a heads up for those that don’t already know. ASD is running the second annual Liquidation Expo June 6th to 8th, 2010 in Long Beach California.

This show is geared towards retail liquidation and close-outs and will feature 30,000 square feet and over 105 booths. If this is your line of business, make sure you get your booth/tickets now.

Oh and by the way, if your not from the West Coast, you better book a few extra days as California is beautiful that time of the year!

Word on the street is that this Christmas will be good. Today is September 23rd, that means we are almost in the Q4 – 3 months remaining to Christmas

YES, you heard that right, ONLY 3 months remaining to Christmas

If you are new to retailing, I highly suggest you begin thinking about your Christmas stock order’s from now. Let me break it down for you a bit

Deciding what and from whom to order – 2 weeks – That takes us to Oct 7
Receiving your order – 2 weeks – That takes us to Oct 21
Getting your items into inventory, putting price tags on and placing them on the shelves and rack – 1.5 weeks – That takes us to Nov 4

You can see how quickly time can fly by. Personally, I have always suggest to all of my friends and colleagues that the moment your Halloween stock(if any) is gone, November 1st all of your Christmas stock should be placed.

I have seen retailers not be prepared for Black Friday at the end of November. I have seen people ordering stock after they realize it’s almost Halloween.

Make the most of this season, it is probably the time of year in which you will make the most money – Get serious

If you need any assistance in sourcing some type of goods, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am especially involved in wholesale brand name clothing at the current moment.

Halloween is around the corner

If you are a small retailer, I suggest strapping the boots and getting your stock in order IF you haven’t already done so

If you need some help with suppliers, of course feel free to e-mail me and I will introduce you to them

Be upbeat and early, have the trendiest costumes and make sure you order enough styles and sizes

I remember last year the Joker was huge, whats it going to be this year, Michael Jackson?

A longer more detailed post to follow shortly…
