Wholesale shopping is the foundation of every boutique. However, many shop owners – especially at the beginning of their business – make mistakes that can lead to financial losses, stock lags or unhappy customers. Here are 5 of the most common mistakes and how to avoid them.
1. Buying too much to start with
The desire to have a rich assortment often ends in an overflowing warehouse and frozen capital. Instead of investing in dozens of models, start with proven styles and order in smaller quantities. LaBalancia allows wholesale purchases from just a few pieces.
2. No target group analysis
Not every product suits every customer. If you don't define your target group (e.g. young women, elegant style vs streetwear), you may order clothes that will not find interest. A good choice starts with getting to know your customers.
3. Considering only price
The cheapest product is not always the best choice. Low quality can result in complaints, bad reviews and loss of trust. A better solution is a wholesaler offering a good quality to price ratio – like LaBalancia.
4. No seasonality in the offer
Ordering out-of-season items (e.g. coats in summer) can result in items not selling. Plan your purchases in advance, taking into account the season, trends, and special events (e.g. holidays, vacations, wedding season).
5. Cancellation of trial orders
Instead of risking a large investment in an unknown wholesaler, test the quality and fit of the products first. At LaBalancia you can order a test package and evaluate everything before deciding on a larger cooperation.
Bonus: No communication with the supplier
Not asking questions, not setting conditions, no information about delivery time – these are common causes of misunderstandings. A good wholesaler offers support and is available to the customer.
Summary:
Avoiding these mistakes:
-
you save money,
-
you build trust with your clients,
-
you manage your product range more effectively,
-
you develop your brand consciously.
Start safely and wisely. Benefit from the experience of a wholesaler who supports new boutiques – like LaBalancia.
