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 ...

There are lots of different business models for selling sunglasses.

Olympic Eyewear would never turn away a new client looking for inexpensive sunglasses in bulk to stock a brand-new retail enterprise. The market for sunglasses is big enough to accommodate a lot more vendors than are currently active.

Imagine buying a brand-new pair of wayfarer sunglasses that make you look as sophisticated as Tom Cruise. You wear them all weekend while you are out and about with friends. Come Monday morning, you hop in the car only to discover they are nowhere to be found. You are off to buy another pair – the third pair you've bought this year! The team at Olympic Eyewear knows it is a good thing that our c...

Losing your sunglasses is as easy as losing a pen. People do it all the time. As a company specializing in bulk sunglasses for retailers, we are torn over how we actually feel about this sort of thing. Lost glasses mean more purchases and more profits for us. On the other hand, we hate to see people spending money on something they are going to turn around and lose at some point in the future. As ...

Every day, we work with retailers who buy sunglasses in bulk from Olympic Eyewear, then turn around and sell those sunglasses in a retail setting. The success of our wholesale buyers proves there is money to be made in sunglass retailing. Like anything else though, success does not happen by chance.

Anyone who regularly visits flea markets knows that discount sunglasses are a popular item for retailers. It seems like every flea market has at least one vendor carrying only designer brands and another selling every conceivable style and brand under the sun. All these vendors buy bulk sunglasses at wholesale only to turn around and sell them at retail. It is a great business model. The thing a...

It's funny how parents would rather spend $50 on a high-end birthday present, yet many kids find more entertainment out of simple cardboard boxes, old clothes and accessories, and homemade soap bubbles.
