Ever Thought About Becoming A Perfume Distributor?


When you think of putting up a business, what are the things that you usually think of? A lot of people immediately turn to the usual stuff like selling a dish or pastry item that their friends rave about, or opening up a car or flower shop, basically, it is, for most people, all about producing a product and selling it to the public. Have you ever given much thought to becoming a middle man? Maybe get into the head hunting game or clients / sales for commission gigs, a source of income that only involves using your skills to act as a third party for producers and sellers. One job profile that people rarely think of when cooking up ways to get a new income stream is becoming a perfume distributor.

But what does it really entail if you want to be a perfume distributor? Let us lay the main ideas first. What you need to do to become a perfume distributor is to contact perfume shops in your vicinity and take stock of the scents they are selling. Most probably, they already carry the branded ones that you regularly see in store fronts. What you can do is to become one of the wholesale perfume distributors who deal with artisan, small scale scents that one, fetch better prices, and two are made with organic ingredients that people are raving about these days. That way, you not only help stores in your area widen their product range, but you help small business owners get their product out to a bigger market.

See, artisan perfumes are making a really big splash these days, as branded, commercial perfumes are being hit left and right with animal testing and excessive chemical content issues. So this is the best time to become a perfume distributor. And another great thing about this is that there are a lot of cooperatives who support artisan, small to medium enterprises, so finding a good source of organically made perfumes can be easy. Once you set up your supply channels and the stores you will cater to, you can focus on marketing your products or creating promotions and deals that will build trust from both ends of your business. You will soon find that playing the middle man can be lucrative, only needing your managerial and mitigating skills to help people make money off a product that they are producing or selling. Commissions can be handsome and you may even find that, after a couple of months, you will have enough experience, contacts and capital to let go of your day job and expand your business to other areas. All of this, without having to make or sell something yourself.
