Economics of Wholesaling


• Lower inventory costs
• Increased cash flow
• Faster deliveries
• Quicker inventory turns
• More value-added services!

The Problem:

The cost to distribute less than truckload orders is rising.

Manufacturers must either raise prices or raise minimum order requirements.

The Solution:

WHOLESALERS
and the services they provide:
• Instant availability
• Improved cash flow
• Faster inventory turns
• Greater return on investment
• Sales Growth
• Quicker Deliveries

Let a SSWA Wholesaler Help You
Realize Better Returns!

Wholesalers help you profit!

  Direct Wholesaler (ROI=GP% x Inventory Turns)
For each dollar you invest in inventory you will
make a return of $8.32 if you buy from a Wholesaler.
Average Order Size 100 Cases 25 Cases
Average Cost/Case $25 $28
Inventory Investment $2,500 $700
Weekly Sales 25 Cases 25 Cases
Turnover Time 4 weeks 1 week
Inventory Turns 12 52
Gross Profit 25% 16%

This example shows that over a one year time period, if you invested $36,400 in inventory from a Wholesaler, you would receive a return on your investment of $302,848!

If you bought direct from a Manufacturer, your annual investment would be $30,000 and your ROI only $90,000.

By purchasing from the Wholesaler, you will receive triple the return of buying direct, which will add more cash to your business.
