Just like to make an official intro about myself. I run a merchandise business based in Chester, mainly supplying to the business sector. We have introduced a wholesale side to the business for our own ranges which includes printed t-shirts, mugs, cotton and canvas eco bags and aprons.
As a buyer we use a number of factories in the far east and india for production of pens, memory sticks, lanyards, bags and badges which are printed at source or by ourselves, so have a little to offer in that experience.
I'd welcome any advise from a retailers point of view in terms of how much they expect to pay for products, minimum order values etc etc.
