The right wholesaler or manufacturer is important in buying jewelry merchandise. Choosing an established wholesaler with a good track record when it comes to the quality of products and services is vital. Though many choose to buy from different body jewelry manufacturers at first, it is better to build a connection to one reliable manufacturer.

Body jewelry wholesalers tend to give more benefits to loyal retailers and often have loyalty programs that can give their customers an edge.

Many retail companies in various industries have met their down fall when the wholesaler they partnered with crashed. Usually, a lot of retailers buy from multiple manufacturers to prevent the worst case scenario. But for a small retailer, choosing one or two reliable companies is a better and more efficient way to ensure one's business than hopping from one wholesaler to another.

A good relationship between retailers and wholesalers is a vital part of success in any business. With the tough competition in the body jewelry industry, the strength of the business network can be the difference between getting ahead and being left behind.
