q: how
is wholesale music club different from all the other so called wholesale
companies on the internet? |
| a: the answer is simple. most
of the other "wholesale offers" online are available to the general public.
with these other so called wholesale companies, there is no separation
between wholesaler, dealer, and the end user (consumer).
real wholesalers will only sell B2B drop shipping (business to business) any company
offering "wholesale deals" that does not require a business license or tax
id from you is not a real wholesale distributor. you have to ask yourself,
"do i want to buy from a discounted music retailer or a real music
instrument master-distributor? the answer is obvious.
with wholesale music club, we only sell our gold wholesale membership
package to licensed re-sellers. all 120 wholesale musical instrument
warehouses within our network require a business license or tax id from all
members. there is zero public access. this keeps the integrity in place
between the true wholesale supplier and the dealer. your company buys the
music instrument products at the same wholesale price that your local music
shop pays. there are still super profit margins out there selling musical
instruments.
|
|
q: do i
have to have an actual store front in order to join wholesale music club?
|
| a: no. among those that
purchase the gold wholesale package are small to mid sized companies selling
via mail order, swap meets, internet, as well as small retail locations.
it is not 100% necessary to have an actual store.
|
|
q: i
have seen offers online about a cd with 10,000 wholesale sources. what is
this all about? |
| a: if you need wholesale
sources for beans, shoe laces, hay, or bulk fabrics.... the cd is for you.
if you are seeking true wholesale distributors supplying musical instrument products to dealers only,.... then you need wholesale music
club. basically the "cheap" wholesale cd's out there are garbage.
plus, they will sell these cd's to anyone. the general public has access to
the same information. you want real business to business wholesale
distributors that don't deal with the public.
|
|
q: what
are the minimum order requirements with the club and the other 120 wholesale
musical instrument distributors? |
| a: minimum order requirements
vary by distributor. usually the minimum order is between $50.00 to $200.00

q: what
is a manufacturer? |
| a: a manufacturer is the
maker of the brand. most mass - manufacturers of musical instruments reside
in china & korea. (although most all of the better music brands do
manufacture here in the usa)
|
|
q: what
is a distributor? |
| a: a distributor is a
privately owned mass supplier to the music dealers. the distributor has
massive buying power and stocks each musical instrument item in large
quantities. most wholesale musical instrument distributors here in the usa
sell at the same "dealer price" that the actual manufacturer does. the
musical instrument distributor function is to supply the musical instruments
& accessories at a closer proximity without a price increase to the licensed
dealer. keep in mind, using "wil-call" is a way to save $$. simply search
for the distributors in your state after completion of your membership. you
will save tons on shipping - by picking up the orders yourself. (wil-call )
there are over 100 massive wholesale musical instrument warehouses across
the united states. chances are there are many near you. remember, these
companies only sell to licensed retailers / dealers / internet sellers /
etc. many real wholesale distributors will only sell to dealers with
commercial addresses. although it is not 100% necessary to have a commercial
address. speak to a wholesale consultant @ (951) 319-8485 fax your tax id to

is a drop shipper? |

customer. you never touch the product. this saves on shipping costs,
therefore increasing your profit potential.

makes a company a "real wholesale distributor� |
