How to Find Wholesale Suppliers

Wholesalers are as close as your backyardDiane asks:

“How do I find reliable wholesale companies without searching the millions of internet hits?”

One place to find firms is on GiftBasketBusiness.com’s wholesalers page.

Your state’s department of agriculture or economic development Web site may also list companies you don’t know exist.

It’s unfortunate that many suppliers with Web sites do not also have sites that are search engine optimized. In other words, whoever created the site did so without making the space search engine friendly. The site may as well not exist, because you cannot find it.

The other key word in your question is “reliable,” a subjective term for all of us. For example, you can use a search engine or local Better Business Bureau site (local to the supplier) to learn if a company has taken money without delivering goods, but that search will uncover findings only if someone has reported it online.

Good luck with your search, Diane.
