Footwear Wholesaler Extraordinaire
So, you’d like to build a giant empire on the back of your shoe selling prowess, eh? Well, good luck my friend. It’s a veritable mine field out there in the real world so you’d better be ready for anything. What are the key ingredients that make up a great footwear wholesaler? Well, for one thing, you’ve got to be able to keep your shoe prices low enough to compete in a very competitive market place. You also have to be able to supply retailers with good quality product that lasts longer than your average Olympic marathon.Selling shoes at wholesale prices can be a risky way to run your business at first, so anyone considering walking this road should proceed with great caution. Even at its highest peak, the footwear industry is a fickle friend at best. Always be prepared to fall into the abyss of failure, and don’t expect to land at the bottom unscathed. The average shoe wholesaler is treated like a god amongst men on a good day, and spat upon like a lowly politician during times of high shoe prices.
I have been called many things over a lifetime that spans many decades. In all my time in the shoe business no one has ever called me a ‘Footwear Wholesaler Extraordinaire’ and that is what grieves me the most. People love the person at their shoe store who measures their foot and sells them the shoes of their dreams but no one ever thinks to thank the individual who chooses to sell footwear at wholesale prices to the retailers. That is a real blight on our society, isn’t it?
