Your right. Alot of these companies use us for profit they cantget else where. And the problem with clothing is what you have to stock to please everyone.

Some swimwear companies use to print 2 catalogs, one with pricing and one with out. And we could order just 2 or 3 at a time. I probally have 3k in swimsuites right now that I'll probally never sell.

As far as the gift items I sell,I'm lucky enough to have a couple of clearing houses within a 2 hour drive where I can at 50% off wholesale. Thus allowing me to sell 50% below Hallmark stores.

Tanu01, are those clearing houses online? I am trying to add gifts, candles and etc. in to the salon and eventually have a full blown gift store. I need to find some real good bargains. If you know of any let me know.

That has to be the key to stocking those types of items, cause other places are too darn expensive. How is the quality of the clearinghouse items?
