Wholesale Discounts?

[BeadingMamma]

I've been asked for wholesale discounts and am really bot sure what to offer and for how much etc etc

Any advise?

Thank you

I'd go and look at what others do as a wholesale discount and do pretty much the same. The Brighton Bead shop where I get a lot of my beads do 10% off if you buy so many of the same thing at a time but I expect it varies.

Hi there
I would offer a percentage off each item (say 15%?) for wholesale but include a minimum order. So for example - if you were selling a purple bead for 10p per bead on your retail site, you could sell it for 8.5p per bead but only if you order a minimum of 20. Other websites offer a 15% discount on the entire order if you spend over an amount - say £100 (this option is a bit easier than having to price every single item individually). Obviously everyone is different and you need to establish a balance between becoming an attractive wholesaler and what you find acceptable. Remember that on wholesale you save on lots of things such as packaging, postage, counting/bagging smaller quantities.
Hope this helps! Fell free to pm me as I buy wholesale from lots of beady places!

Thanks all, I stuck with a minimum order of 20 packs with a 15% discount.

Thank you for posting it was helpful to see what people did.
