01:23.5 | 01:29.8 | five tips so let’s go ahead and get into |
01:26.3 | 01:33.0 | today’s video tip 1 know the difference |
01:29.8 | 01:36.3 | between a manufacturer and a distributor |
01:33.0 | 01:39.6 | so if you think all vendors are equal |
01:36.3 | 01:43.5 | that is not true a distributor is a |
01:39.6 | 01:46.3 | company or a person who works with a |
01:43.5 | 01:49.8 | manufacturer and acts as a third party |
01:46.3 | 01:52.2 | to sell that product to you basically |
01:49.8 | 01:54.1 | what they do is they go to the person in |
01:52.2 | 01:56.3 | the company who is actually making this |
01:54.1 | 01:58.4 | material let’s say shirts they go to the |
01:56.3 | 02:01.4 | actual person who sews the shirts |
01:58.4 | 02:04.5 | together and designs the shirts and they |
02:01.4 | 02:07.1 | take it from them in bulk and pass that |
02:04.5 | 02:10.6 | bulk on to you but they |
02:07.1 | 02:12.6 | on let’s say 10% or whatever that is and |
02:10.6 | 02:15.4 | then that’s how they profit a |
02:12.6 | 02:18.7 | manufacturer is the actual person or |
02:15.4 | 02:20.7 | company that makes the item they put in |
02:18.7 | 02:22.8 | the labor they put in the work |
02:20.7 | 02:25.4 | do they make the items and nine times |
02:22.8 | 02:27.8 | not nine times out of ten it’s cheaper |
02:25.4 | 02:31.6 | to get it from the manufacturer instead |
02:27.8 | 02:33.5 | of going through a distributor right now |
02:31.6 | 02:35.6 | the good thing about distributors is |
02:33.5 | 02:37.9 | sometimes they develop their own sense |
02:35.6 | 02:41.6 | of style that actually will fit your |
02:37.9 | 02:43.5 | business and so if you like how they |
02:41.6 | 02:45.1 | pick their items in the selection they |
02:43.5 | 02:47.2 | have you can go through a distributor |
02:45.1 | 02:48.7 | because then it’s like you’re going to |
02:47.2 | 02:51.1 | them and they’re probably sourcing from |
02:48.7 | 02:52.6 | multiple manufacturers instead of you |
02:51.1 | 02:55.4 | having to find each and every |
02:52.6 | 02:56.8 | manufacturer that is the plus but if |
02:55.4 | 02:58.2 | you’re trying to save some coin that you |
02:56.8 | 03:01.3 | definitely want to find the direct |
02:58.2 | 03:04.9 | source which is the manufacturer tech to |
03:01.3 | 03:07.2 | use an online marketplace so if you’ve |
03:04.9 | 03:10.3 | ever heard of China vendor trips or even |
03:07.2 | 03:13.1 | LA wholesale trips they usually go to |
03:10.3 | 03:16.0 | the fashion district or whatever |
03:13.1 | 03:19.1 | district within these places and then |
03:16.0 | 03:21.5 | they shop on this block that has a whole |
03:19.1 | 03:25.5 | bunch of stores right the online |
03:21.5 | 03:29.0 | marketplaces takes those stores and |
03:25.5 | 03:31.1 | basically allows them to sell online so |
03:29.0 | 03:34.2 | about to give you three online |
03:31.1 | 03:35.7 | marketplaces that I suggest that you |
03:34.2 | 03:37.9 | shop on and I’m gonna tell you which one |
03:35.7 | 03:40.9 | is my favorite so the first one is going |
03:37.9 | 03:44.4 | to be orange shine that is orange shine |
03:40.9 | 03:47.6 | dot-com that one is relatively easy to |
03:44.4 | 03:49.1 | get into they only ask like your name |
03:47.6 | 03:51.9 | and your business name and I believe |
03:49.1 | 03:55.1 | they actually for a resellers ID but |
03:51.9 | 03:57.4 | approval is basically instant now if |
03:55.1 | 03:59.5 | you’re looking things that are more |
03:57.4 | 04:02.2 | quality items that |
03:59.5 | 04:06.2 | suggests either checking out la showroom |
04:02.2 | 04:10.3 | which that is la showroom calm or |
04:06.2 | 04:13.0 | fashion go dot net my personal favorite |
04:10.3 | 04:16.1 | is fashion go dot next you will find a |
04:13.0 | 04:19.4 | lot of your main manufacturers on |
04:16.1 | 04:23.9 | fashion go neck and a lot of places like |
04:19.4 | 04:25.9 | fashion Oba pretty little thing and some |
04:23.9 | 04:30.5 | of probably your favorite boutiques that |
04:25.9 | 04:32.5 | you see around shop from stores and |
04:30.5 | 04:35.5 | manufacturers that are on these online |
04:32.5 | 04:39.3 | marketplaces these online marketplaces |
04:35.5 | 04:42.6 | carry clothing shoes lingerie |
04:39.3 | 04:45.1 | accessories and all of that jazz so I |
04:42.6 | 04:47.5 | definitely suggest that you go ahead and |
04:45.1 | 04:49.9 | check out those online marketplaces if |
04:47.5 | 04:52.2 | you’re interested in learning more about |
04:49.9 | 04:54.1 | your retailers permit because these |
04:52.2 | 04:56.6 | three sites are gonna actually for your |
04:54.1 | 04:58.1 | retailers permit and some of them |
04:56.6 | 05:01.8 | actually for your business license I |
04:58.1 | 05:03.6 | suggest checking out my other video that |
05:01.8 | 05:05.6 | walks through the four steps of starting |
05:03.6 | 05:07.3 | a business because one of the steps has |
05:05.6 | 05:09.3 | to do with getting all your legal work |
05:07.3 | 05:11.5 | together so there’s gonna be a little I |
05:09.3 | 05:13.1 | that pops up right here go ahead and |
05:11.5 | 05:15.2 | click that and it will take you to that |
05:13.1 | 05:16.9 | video and you can watch that video so |
05:15.2 | 05:20.6 | know what I’m talking about when I say |
05:16.9 | 05:23.9 | reach seller’s permit tip number three |
05:20.6 | 05:26.3 | check your clothing if you’re buying |
05:23.9 | 05:28.5 | from these online boutiques or these |
05:26.3 | 05:33.2 | major stores like fashion of a rainbow |
05:28.5 | 05:36.3 | all of that they sometimes will leave |
05:33.2 | 05:38.2 | the tags from the manufacturer in the |
05:36.3 | 05:39.5 | clothes and I know there’s probably bag |
05:38.2 | 05:40.7 | through their branding because they |
05:39.5 | 05:43.7 | should be trying to switch everything |
05:40.7 | 05:45.8 | out but sometimes they either process so |
05:43.7 | 05:48.2 | many orders and that they let some of |
05:45.8 | 05:49.6 | the clothes slip by or they just don’t |
05:48.2 | 05:52.2 | care about them I don’t really know |
05:49.6 | 05:54.8 | which one but if you check your clothes |
05:52.2 | 05:58.3 | I promise you will at least find one |
05:54.8 | 06:01.0 | item with the type with the |
05:58.3 | 06:03.2 | manufacturer’s name in it and just to |
06:01.0 | 06:04.9 | prove that to you I’m gonna go smite |
06:03.2 | 06:07.4 | posit which is right behind me |
06:04.9 | 06:12.8 | and I’m gonna pull two items out of |
06:07.4 | 06:14.5 | there I’m back so I got two items and |
06:12.8 | 06:19.1 | I’m going to drop the picture of when I |
06:14.5 | 06:22.3 | wore them right here and right here and |
06:19.1 | 06:24.5 | so basically this one I wore on my |
06:22.3 | 06:27.2 | birthday and I got this from fashion |
06:24.5 | 06:32.4 | over and if I look at the tag you will |
06:27.2 | 06:35.4 | see it doesn’t say fashion over the next |
06:32.4 | 06:38.1 | one I want my last birthday and I got |
06:35.4 | 06:43.2 | this from giddy online and I’m gonna |
06:38.1 | 06:46.2 | show you the tag again see that it |
06:43.2 | 06:50.5 | doesn’t say giddy online point proven |
06:46.2 | 06:52.7 | check the tags of your clothing that you |
06:50.5 | 06:56.0 | love if you usually shop from a certain |
06:52.7 | 06:58.9 | store and you tend to lean toward a |
06:56.0 | 07:01.4 | certain style you’re probably already |
06:58.9 | 07:04.9 | doing some of the work to finding your |
07:01.4 | 07:07.0 | own vendor because the missed vendor for |
07:04.9 | 07:10.4 | sure good time USA I have a bunch of |
07:07.0 | 07:12.5 | clothes that comes from this vendor that |
07:10.4 | 07:14.0 | I didn’t realize until I looked at the |
07:12.5 | 07:16.4 | tag because I was buying it from |
07:14.0 | 07:18.9 | different stores but I was attracted to |
07:16.4 | 07:22.0 | the Saints have a fabric type of look |
07:18.9 | 07:25.5 | and it turned out to be from the same |
07:22.0 | 07:29.9 | exact manufacturer or in other words |
07:25.5 | 07:33.1 | better tip number four take a trip I |
07:29.9 | 07:37.7 | mentioned earlier that there is a |
07:33.1 | 07:40.4 | wholesale district in LA there’s also a |
07:37.7 | 07:43.4 | bunch of different manufacturers and |
07:40.4 | 07:46.1 | wholesale companies in China but there’s |
07:43.4 | 07:47.4 | also many wholesale districts in many |
07:46.1 | 07:50.0 | different states across the United |
07:47.4 | 07:52.2 | States so like in Atlanta there’s |
07:50.0 | 07:53.8 | something called a Mary’s martyr |
07:52.2 | 07:57.1 | America’s large or something like that |
07:53.8 | 07:59.3 | in Miami you have seven |
07:57.1 | 08:01.8 | and temp Street and all these things |
07:59.3 | 08:04.3 | that have these wholesale places or |
08:01.8 | 08:07.0 | these people that actually make clothes |
08:04.3 | 08:09.3 | and make products that will sell them to |
08:07.0 | 08:11.9 | you in bulk for a discounted price and |
08:09.3 | 08:15.2 | if you need to go to China there are |
08:11.9 | 08:17.9 | many people that take people on trips to |
08:15.2 | 08:21.0 | China so just check your surroundings do |
08:17.9 | 08:23.6 | a google search Explorer you know your |
08:21.0 | 08:26.0 | different cities guides and things like |
08:23.6 | 08:30.2 | that and see what it is that they have |
08:26.0 | 08:34.4 | to offer and plan a trip and last but |
08:30.2 | 08:37.8 | not least tip number five is to steal |
08:34.4 | 08:40.8 | your competitors vendors I’m pretty sure |
08:37.8 | 08:45.6 | what I’m about to tell you you haven’t |
08:40.8 | 08:50.0 | heard from anyone be four so here’s the |
08:45.6 | 08:53.1 | team many of the companies that you love |
08:50.0 | 08:55.4 | source their product from China believe |
08:53.1 | 08:57.6 | it or not its source from China even |
08:55.4 | 08:59.6 | when you go to the LA fashion district |
08:57.6 | 09:03.1 | some of the people who are there are |
08:59.6 | 09:07.2 | just representatives of the main Factory |
09:03.1 | 09:09.6 | back in China nine times out of ten you |
09:07.2 | 09:11.0 | are getting a product from China and now |
09:09.6 | 09:13.5 | you have other places that are |
09:11.0 | 09:15.1 | developing their wholesale district in |
09:13.5 | 09:17.6 | other countries as well that means that |
09:15.1 | 09:19.6 | a company has to order in bulk from |
09:17.6 | 09:20.8 | these other countries and have it |
09:19.6 | 09:22.5 | shipped to America |
09:20.8 | 09:25.4 | whenever you ship something from an |
09:22.5 | 09:29.8 | outside country to America it has to go |
09:25.4 | 09:32.3 | through customs ding ding ding what does |
09:29.8 | 09:36.2 | that mean it means that every package |
09:32.3 | 09:41.6 | that comes in side the United States is |
09:36.2 | 09:44.1 | tracked that is how you can spy on your |
09:41.6 | 09:46.3 | competitors people on the US customers |
09:44.1 | 09:48.1 | website and kind of search around |
09:46.3 | 09:49.6 | yourself but I don’t suggest doing that |
09:48.1 | 09:52.0 | because there’s a bunch of codes and |
09:49.6 | 09:54.9 | keywords that you don’t understand but I |
09:52.0 | 09:58.8 | do suggest checking out a website called |
09:54.9 | 10:01.0 | jungle scout jungle stop makes it easy |
09:58.8 | 10:02.7 | they put it into a database for you and |
10:01.0 | 10:03.5 | then all you have to do is search the |
10:02.7 | 10:08.6 | company |
10:03.5 | 10:12.5 | legal name or their legal ID number of |
10:08.6 | 10:15.9 | some sort and it will bring up the most |
10:12.5 | 10:18.6 | recent things that they’ve had imported |
10:15.9 | 10:21.6 | and on that report it will show you |
10:18.6 | 10:24.2 | where it came from the exact name of the |
10:21.6 | 10:27.4 | manufacturer and some of the reports |
10:24.2 | 10:29.8 | even include the information for the |
10:27.4 | 10:32.2 | manufacturers and that is pretty cool so |
10:29.8 | 10:34.6 | I’m gonna put the website not only on |
10:32.2 | 10:36.7 | the screen right now but I’m also going |
10:34.6 | 10:39.4 | to put all of this in the description |
