Wholesale DVD's and Music

If there is a wholesale business to rival the enthusiasm and activity of video games, coffee or fragrances, it has to be wholesale DVDs and music. The movie and music industry has changed so much in the last 30 or 40 years, that many people do not recognize it at all. Listeners and movie watchers no longer make the theater or the "record album" their first choice. Using computers and blank discs or the many suppliers of wholesale DVDs and music, enthusiasts are bringing entertainment to their homes at extremely low prices.

When a wholesale DVDs and music distributor states on their Web site or in a print catalog that they have a massive selection of movies and music, they are not just making a sales pitch. In recent years, these distributors and brokers of wholesale DVDs and music have compiled huge warehouses of selections that will satisfy every taste.

What makes this possible? Several things, actually. First, tastes in movies and music change rapidly, so there are distributors of wholesale DVDs and music who have plenty to do working with closeouts and liquidation inventory. When a music store, a warehouse or reseller decides it's time to clear the way for new titles, there are wholesale buyers and brokers waiting to buy the stock in bulk (often truckloads) for the single purpose of reselling those DVDs and music CDs wholesale. Whether the public is hot for rock, blues, jazz, horror, adventure or comedy, wholesale DVDs and music merchants have stacks upon stacks of items to sell for a few pennies on the dollar.

Some of these wholesale DVDs and music suppliers are also encouraging individual entrepreneurs to get into the business by becoming a drop ship supplier. Larger companies that have warehouses full of titles will work out an agreement with individuals and small businesses to have DVDs and CDs shipped directly to a customer. This means that the seller (you) does not have to invest in a huge inventory in a warehouse or storage building. About the only thing required is developing a customer list and a way to market the product to them. In comparison to this, there are video/music distribution businesses that operate in a more traditional manner, selling from their bulk inventory to retailers and other smaller resellers.

Sometimes the first-time buyer or smaller business will run into the obstacle of a minimum order requirement with the more "traditional" suppliers of wholesale DVDs and music. In some cases this level can be set at 50 DVDs or music CDs. Because this has been a problem for some of the very small entrepreneurs, suppliers have established a separate sector called sample orders that help the little guy get started. Prices on this sample list can range from five DVDs for about $30 to 25 discs for $125. Many of these distributors and suppliers have similar programs for music CDs, including the most popular artists of the last 20 years.

If you find a wholesale DVDs and music supplier who is as passionate about the industry as you are, look into setting yourself up as an independent retailer, distributor or special market seller. The profits and excitement may surprise you.
