Besides the licensed vendors who do you use as a supplier? I'm looking for clear bags to mail catalogs, stickers, etc.

I have used stickingtobusiness.com and thebooster.com.

Any others you have had success with?

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

That is exactly what I'm looking for!
 
Thanks Anne for the great websites, I never knew there were ones out there with this type of stuff. I only knew of the ones on CC, so thanks so much. I registered on The Booster and they asked where I heard about them at so I gave them your name and they wanted your town and state, so maybe they will send you a coupon or something!! :D

Frequently Asked Questions

What are direct sales suppliers?

Direct sales suppliers are companies that sell products directly to consumers through independent representatives or consultants. These suppliers often focus on specific product categories, such as kitchenware, beauty products, or health supplements, and provide their representatives with the tools and resources needed to market and sell their products.

How can I find reputable direct sales suppliers?

To find reputable direct sales suppliers, start by researching companies with a strong track record and positive reviews. You can join online forums, social media groups, or attend direct sales events to connect with current representatives. Additionally, look for suppliers that offer comprehensive training, support, and a solid compensation plan.

What should I consider when choosing a direct sales supplier?

When choosing a direct sales supplier, consider factors such as product quality, market demand, commission structure, training and support offered, and the overall reputation of the company. It's also important to evaluate the supplier's policies regarding returns, inventory, and exclusivity to ensure they align with your business goals.

Are there any upfront costs associated with joining a direct sales supplier?

Yes, most direct sales suppliers require an initial investment, which may include a starter kit, training materials, and marketing resources. The costs can vary significantly between companies, so it's essential to review the details and ensure that the investment aligns with your budget and expectations.

Can I sell products from multiple direct sales suppliers?

Yes, you can sell products from multiple direct sales suppliers, but it's important to check each company's policies regarding representation. Some suppliers may have exclusivity agreements that prevent you from selling competing products. Always read the terms and conditions carefully before joining multiple companies to avoid any conflicts.
