Lilian Lemaire is the managing director of Ellen Clothing Manufacturer, a French clothing company with a clothing factory in Vietnam.
When you are in the wholesale clothing business, you are into it to make a living i.e. to make a profit from selling clothes. It is therefore crucial to get your clothes at the lowest possible price. The best way to cut costs, in the clothing business like in many industries, is to cut the middleman out of the equation and get in direct contact with the clothing manufacturer. That way, you buy wholesale clothes direct from the clothing factory and avoid additional costs. This may mean buying clothing wholesale direct from a Chinese manufacturer - or a clothing manufacturer based in an other Asian country such as Vietnam as long as the cost of labor is competitive.
At Ellen Clothing Manufacturer, we make it easy to contact us directly at our clothing factory in Vietnam. We have researched ways to get phone numbers in the USA, UK and Australia. To keep the overall cost low, you are now calling us at local rate and the phone call is redirected to our Vietnam office at our cost.
What Wholesale means: It is the resale of goods without any transformation of the goods.
That's more or less the definition you will find in the dictionary, however this term is commonly used to mean in large quantity or bulk.
Of course the larger the quantity of clothes purchased the lower the price per garment. It's good to keep in mind that the cost of shipping the clothes will be spread over a larger quantity also, thus making the cost per piece lower. Ideally, you will want to fill up a container of clothes. This will be achieved with around 5000 garments.
From the clothing manufacturer's perspective 5000 garments is a good quantity as it allows for a chain production. Here I am assuming that all 5000 garments are the same i.e. all 5000 garments are t-shirts, or all 5000 garments are sweaters.
Did you know? When producing the clothes, it doesn't really matter if all 5000 garments are of the same colour or not. Also, it doesn't matter if all 5000 garments have the same printing or not. The chain works just the same way. For more information, to see how the above applies to your business, contact Ellen Clothing Manufacturer.
