More about tradeshows-6

Manufacturer's from India are very attentive when selling their products at Trade Shows and they look kindly on those who buy at last one item (no matter how inexpensive or small), as a point of moving forward in cementing a long term business relationship. This overture of buying one small item instills a trust level and signals the beginning of a business relationship.

You will very, very rarely find manufacturer's at trade shows offering drop shipping and if you do, then expect to pay much more for the product line, as drop shippers make money not only on the product line but, through monthly membership fees and fees associated with shipping and handling.


If you are unable to attend a tradeshow to pick up your own wholesale sourcing contacts and product, here are five wholesalers you can check out online:

  • eXtreme Toy Zone: This importer, distributor, and wholesaler offers a nice line of toys from dinosaurs to pop-star dolls. They also carry a large line of remote control (RC) toys.
  • Sidelines International: This site is a retail site, but you can contact the wholesale division if you're looking for a line on Zippo lighters and products, Victorinox Swiss Army Knives and other products.
  • Kole Imports: A broad supplier offering a huge selection of more low-priced products like auto accessories, tools, hair care, seasonal items and more.
  • Cutting Edge Products: Offers wholesale and dropship programs for security products like alarms, stun guns and other unusual products related to safety and security.
