How To Break Into The Wholesale Wedding Favor Business – Part Three
By Robert C. Potter

Accessory Wholesale Incorporated (Awnol.com) has been a wholesaler to the fashion, bridal, and tourist Industry since 1985. They are a supplier of fashion jewelry, tiaras, rhinestone, and bridal jewelry.

If you don't want to be limited by domestic supply sources, then searching for overseas manufacturers of wedding favors could be a viable sourcing option. The low cost of manufacturing for some wedding favor products makes importing from countries like China gives the seller a wider profit margin.

With that being said, the below mentioned resources will help you research and understand the risks and rewards that importing can provide. But be warned. Do not pay any wholesale supplier or overseas manufacturer by wire transfer. Especially if you are dealing with a foreign business concern for the first time, or have no experience with importing. 

Most reliable Chinese and overseas manufacturers will let you employ a letter of credit or escrow protection. Remember that research is the operative word here, and I remind you once again, not to take the plunge into any foreign buying venture without performing your due diligence. The websites listed below will provide you with the education you need to pursue your importing ambitions.

B2B Manufactures.com (Manufacturers.com.tw) is a comprehensive manufacturers directory from Taiwan and China to locate global a variety of manufacturers and suppliers. When you get to the website, just type in "wedding favors" to find suppliers in that category.

AmeriChinaB2B (Americhinab2b.com) is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. They provide online and offline services for businesses who are searching for global connections. You can find potential buyers, suppliers, wholesalers and distributors in foreign countries. Some of their offline services include marketing research, credential investigation of potential buyers, suppliers, as well as translation services.

Global Sources (Globalsources.com) is one of the few online venues that lets you order small product lots from overseas manufacturers. They also sponsor trade shows and publish trade publications that you can subscribe to for free. They are one of the better overseas trade lead sites to source product, but you still need to be careful when dealing with any company that is not stateside. Do not wire transfer any money to an unknown supplier.

Buy USA (Buyusa.gov) is a division of the US Commercial service. The website can assist foreign exporters find United States buyers, as well as helping US importers find overseas suppliers. Even though this is a Government website, and the suppliers are suppose to be pre-approved, you need to be careful before you buy from any overseas exporter.
