Wholesale Sunglasses Blog

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. As wholesalers of designer sunglasses, we have to start planning for the holiday r...

You may not be thinking year-end taxes given that it is only September at the time of this writing, but the end of the year is less than three months away. Making matters worse is the coming holiday season. A month from now you will be starting the busiest retail season of the year. That means you need to start thinking about tax issues now – while you have the time and a clear head. This isn'...

More than 95% of our inventory consists of wholesale sunglasses. Let's face it, selling wholesale sunglasses has made Olympic Eyewear the company it is today. But we do have a small section of our inventory devoted to accessories. We feel these items are every bit as important as the sunglasses themselves. As a retailer, selling our accessories is an opportunity to both boost your sales and prov...

As a wholesale sunglasses manufacturer, one thing we definitely don't like to see is excess inventory. We are fairly certain you feel the same way as a retailer. Excess inventory is inventory that is not selling for whatever reason. So what do you do? That depends on your position. We would do things differently, as a wholesaler, than you would do is a retailer. That's because we don't have a re...

In a business like ours, it is normal for retailers who purchase from us to have multiple ways of turning around and selling the products to customers. Some of our retailers have opened up their own boutiques or mall kiosks. Still others prefer to sell exclusively online. This post is geared toward the latter group. The intent is to encourage them to consider enhancing their summer sales at a lo...

We sell a lot of sunglasses in bulk, at wholesale prices, to retailers who sell them year-round. But we also know that some of our customers are seasonal sellers. These are folks who sell sunglasses part time to supplement their full-time jobs. We think that's great. Owning your own business is a wonderful opportunity whether you do it full- or part-time. For many of our part-time sellers, summer ...

Olympic Eyewear has been in business for quite a few years now. Rest assured we did not open our wholesale operation and find instant success overnight. Very few companies do. We built our business slowly, over many months and years. That is the nature of the beast. The same thing applies to retail. If you are an Olympic customer feeling frustrated that your business isn't growing as fast as you...

Most of us in the sunglasses industry find it hard to get excited about the weather during the winter months. So by the end of February or the beginning of March, we long to hear the weatherman step up and say, "get ready to break out your sunglasses tomorrow." Statements like that are music to our ears. Unless you live in a warm weather climate that actually encourages people to get outdoors du...
