How To Distribut Polish Crystal

A distributor is someone who sells products to wholesalers and retailers. International distributors act as trade facilitators and make a lot of money. International distribution is big business.

You do not have to have a large inventory to be a distributor. You just need enough to satisfy the many small businesses that will come to you because they do not buy enought to meet factory minimums or enough to offset the costs of shipping on small orders.

In reality, you little more than a well stocked showroom that you can use as a catalog store. You take orders from customers, aggregate the orders and then bring in the product for them.

Of course, if you have sufficient capital, it is best to have a good inventory of product on hand. For a starting inventory, the factory can tell you what are the most popular products.
