Where to Buy Your Beads

One of the things that you have to do in business is find good sources for your supplies. You can purchase from your local bead store, bead shows, or online. One of the things that we saw when we were exhibiting at bead shows was that the beads in the "wholesale section", were the same price or higher than the beads in the retail section.

I talked with those dealers and they said that they exhibited in the Wholesale section because people thought that they would get a better deal in the wholesale section.

The key is that you should not assume that you are getting a good price just because something says wholesale. Also be careful about large discounts. Some dealers will raise their prices just to give you a bigger discount.

You really need to know what your net cost is for your beads. Just because you got them for 50% off, it doesn't mean you got the best price. The best thing to do is to remember what you have paid in the past and compare the final price with what you have paid before.

On our website, (www.pizazzworks.com) we try to have low prices all of the time and we don't raise the price of our items when we have our weekly sales.
