Not many people who design beaded jewelry ever give any thought to forming a company. Yet that is what happens to many who are especially good at their craft. Items that were purchased at the local department store now have to be ordered from wholesale bead supplies.
If you find yourself in that position don't feel it is more than you can accomplish. Numerous businesses began as mere hobbies. Give yourself a company name or dba; re: 'doing business as.' In addition, a state tax identification number must be obtained. This number entitles you to purchase supplies without paying tax. The tax will be levied on the finished product and mailed to the state.
A search of the internet will offer a number of companies that supply beads and all the accessories needed to make jewelry. The possibilities are endless and a plethora of information has to be read through. There is much to consider.
To make it easier, a supplier with the widest selection of beads is best. Keeping the number of wholesalers needed to a chosen few will make record keeping much simpler. The company chosen has to be reliable in a number of different areas. All of your personal information should be encrypted to warrant that you credit card data and other personal information cannot be accessed by anyone for criminal purposes.
Look for lower prices when buying in bulk and either free or low shipping costs. The larger available selection a wholesaler has is one that can be depended on to fill orders completely. Based on the volume of an order an additional discount may be offered. Still, make sure the company also has a no minimum ordering policy. Having to meet an imposed quota often results in ordering items that are not necessarily needed.
Finding all of these features in one wholesale company would be very hard to do but choose one or two that has most of these requirements covered. The less you have to expend on purchasing supplies the lower you can keep consumer cost. This makes a manufacturer competitive within their market and draws more business to that company.
