Becoming a successful wholesaler requires a few steps. First, you will need to research your target market and make sure that you are offering products that are in demand.

How many hats should I order when starting?

The number of hats you should order when starting will depend on the size and scope of your business. It is recommended that you start with a small order to test the demand for your hats and gauge customer response. Additionally, you should consider the cost of each hat, delivery fees, and any additional costs associated with the order. Once you have identified your target market and determined the cost of the hats, it would be wise to place an initial order that is in line with your budget and will allow you to meet the demands of your customers.
