Wholesale Sunglasses Blog

Sunglasses represent a unique retail fashion product. Where so many other things in the fashion world change and evolve over time, sunglasses today are pretty much the same as they were in the 1930s, save the introduction of the UV coating we now take for granted. So why is it that we see 'new' designs being released every spring and fall? The answer to that question begins with a basic understa...

So it is no surprise to see vendors selling them at flea markets. We got to thinking about that and wondered how many of the customers who buy our wholesale sunglasses sell as flea market vendors. A flea mar...

If you want to make the most of spring, now is time to start thinking about your marketing plans for the next few months. Those of ...

Retail is a vastly different animal in the winter. In the eyewear sector, particularly where sunglasses are concerned, it is easy to fall into the mindset that sales will be slow until spring. Yet that is not the kind of mindset that is going to help your business continue to grow. Winter is not an off-season for sunglasses. It is just a different season. So embrace it for what it is and go out ...

It is pretty typical for new dealers just starting to sell Olympic Eyewear sunglasses to start out small. They do not have a lot of money to put into inventory, and they are not quite sure what will actually sell in their area. Fair enough. But at some point, succeeding in this business requires expanding your inventory to include everything from classic aviators to black wayfarers and the lat...

Experienced retailers know that October marks the beginning of the third quarter. It also means preparing for holiday sales that will pick up just after Thanksgiving. If you are still kind of new to the retail designer sunglasses game, know that October is one of the most important months for holiday preparations.

Making matters worse is the coming holiday season. A month from now you will be starting the busiest retail season of the year.
