Best practices for buying iPhone cases wholesale
With the iPhone 14 recently coming out, many people will be after a case for their device. If you’re a business that sells iPhone 14 cases, this article will share some advice about what to look out for when ordering them wholesale.
Use a local Supplier.
Our first advice for getting wholesale phone cases (UK) is to use a local supplier. When we say “local,” we don’t expect everyone to use a supplier in their city, but if you can, at least use one within the UK.
The first benefit of going local is reducing the shipping fees and carbon output. If you buy from a supplier in another country, such as China, you must pay to have the items shipped from China to the UK, then from the UK port to your place of business. Not only will this cost extra, but it also releases a lot of carbon dioxide, which is not good for the environment.
Secondly, you can help the British economy by circulating money around it. This way, you can help other businesses and people in your backyard. Helping local people allows you to build a better relationship than you ever could with an international supplier.
Don’t overbuy
If you’re buying iPhone 14 cases wholesale, it can be too easy to buy more than you need. Although some excess stock is inevitable, it’s essential that you don’t buy so much that you end up with piles of stock that you are unlikely to sell.
A new iPhone is released almost every year. So, those keen to get the latest iPhone will buy their iPhone 14 case and, a few months later, will require a case for whatever iPhone is next. There is a limited time window in which you will sell a significant number of any particular phone case- usually shortly after the phone’s release.
When considering the quantity of iPhone 14 cases to buy, consider how much storage space you have and how many you can expect to sell. Many business owners make the mistake of thinking more always means cheaper, but this is not the case when you factor in the money you spend on items you do not sell.
Buy the right phone cases for YOUR customers.
For the iPhone 14, there are a lot of wholesale phone cases. UK customers are even more varied.
What’s my point?
You might see that your wholesaler is selling a lot of one particular phone case, leading you to conclude that it’s the phone case you should stock up on. However, we recommend considering which phone case is best for your customers and nobody else’s.
For example, perhaps a thin but colorful phone case is popular, but you know that your customers prefer a thicker, more durable case. In this case, get the durable cases- it’s what YOUR customers will want.
Look at the returns policy.
You never know when or if you will need to return items. So, before placing an order with any wholesaler, look at what to do if you need to return an item.
Although this should only be a minor factor, it’s worth considering. You don’t have to be left with piles of iPhone cases that you will not sell but have any way of sending them back to your supplier.
