It is popularly believed that by cutting out the retailer, and — where he exists — by cutting out the wholesaler too, the manufacturer can market his goods both more cheaply to the public and at a greater profit to himself. It must be borne in mind, however, that if he bypasses the middlemen, he has to provide within his own organisation the services they normally provide. And that costs money too.

Frames, large and small, cheap and expensive, albums, pocket wallets etc are all easy to handle and mail, though advertising needs to be illustrated if the customer is to be tempted to buy. As always with fairly commonplace, widely available products, the mail trader must offer something out of the ordinary either by way of price or specification.

The ‘approval’ method of selling stamps by post is very well established. Probably the best and cheapest way of acquiring stock for resale is to buy private collections, either direct from the public or at auction, though it is possible to buy stamps in presentation packs from certain suppliers and, of course, if you are interested in dealing in current  stamps and the many commemoratives issued, you can buy them across the counter at face value at any post office at the time of issue. The Post Office also provides facilities for acquiring cleanly postmarked first day covers. Continue Reading Sell Stamps Collections…

Fancy hats, balloons, streamers, crackers, decorations etc are all basically cheap items bought infrequently and in quantities that are too small to support a mail order business — if, that is, you try to sell exclusively to the general public. A venture with more profit potential is to wholesale such items to market traders, shops and major users such as hotels and restaurants at Christmas/New Year and other special occasions.

Camping equipment

Tents, groundsheets etc have a good price/weight ratio, are fairly easy to handle and despatch, and are unlikely to give rise to many after-sales problems.
