			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>It looks like foreign trade has experienced a very turbulent and predictably headache-inducing conclusion</strong>&#8230; after the global economic recession triggered a wave of changes and reassessments in everything; from foreign policy, to how goods are valued on the international market. In short, it&#8217;s all up in the air right now, and it would seem almost as if there is no order to any of it&#8230; but the good news is that amidst the chaos lies a great deal of opportunity! The other side of this is that the opportunities will only be discovered by the wholesalers and retailers who are willing to dig deeper than everyone else, and expose the best chances to build valuable relationships and find the sources that can be relied upon. A large part of your search for great partners in this field can be narrowed down by visiting the directories at <strong><a href="http://www.toptenwholesale.com" >toptenwholesale.com</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.manufacturer.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.manufacturer.com');">manufacturer.com</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.wholesaleu.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.wholesaleu.com');">wholesaleu.com</a></strong>, and <strong><a href="http://www.offpricenetwork.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.offpricenetwork.com');">offpricenetwork.com</a></strong> for a head start. This is one of the best ways to locate those great items like general merchandise, apparel, accessories, gifts, electronics, handbags, jewelry, toys, and more!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1621" src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/chen-and-sec.jpg" alt="chen and sec" width="400" height="272" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Another thing to do is start with some ground rules in export and import. While the topic can seem a little broad at first glance, importing and exporting can be explained best by starting with the basics. If you are trying to get your head around what to do with all of the information, advice, and statistical data available &#8211; but you&#8217;ve found no solid starting point – this guide may be for you! Read on to see what I have to say about the <strong>TopTen things to look out for when kicking off your own export and import business&#8230;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>1.Always maintain your integrity, and try to get into a business that you know something about&#8230; and enjoy doing</strong>. I&#8217;m not going to kid you, this can be a very tough business. I&#8217;ve probably quit about a half-dozen times while out here in China. It helps a lot to have a personal interest in whatever you&#8217;re selling, since motivation can hit an all-time low when you&#8217;re back&#8217;s against the wall in a deal. The best part of this is the feeling you&#8217;ll have when you emerge triumphant!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>2.Focus on the customer&#8230; under-promise and over deliver</strong>. Bad service &#8211; it&#8217;s everywhere. It can also become your best friend, since so many other companies are willing to go this route. If you&#8217;re the one that gains a reputation for being the customer service king or queen, you&#8217;ll be in a very good place indeed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>3.Never ever run out of cash</strong>. What? You haven&#8217;t been reading the headlines since late 2008? There&#8217;s a lot of trouble you can get into by using credit recklessly, and my advice is to avoid it altogether every chance you get. Sometimes it&#8217;s necessary for security reasons, or to make the conversion or repatriation of currency possible&#8230; but you should always back your moves up with cold, hard cash if you want to sleep soundly at night. Harder to do than using credit, but it may save your business in the event of another period of instability in the global market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>4.Hit the books</strong>. Whether you opt to take international trade classes at the college level, or just spend a lot of time researching the topic, you&#8217;re going to have to learn something in detail before you blast off on some adventure in the wild and often unruly world of foreign trade. Grab a cup of coffee, and find a comfy chair&#8230; because you&#8217;re going to be reading and researching for some time before you ever reach out to a foreign supplier or government entity. Want proof? <a href="http://english.mofcom.gov.cn/index.shtml" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://english.mofcom.gov.cn/index.shtml');">Check this out</a>. Instant headache!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>5.Personally visit your offshore suppliers or customers, and while you&#8217;re at it&#8230; visit the trade shows too</strong>. I can&#8217;t stress this one enough. You must get ample <em>face time</em> in front of your new trade partners, if you even hope to get the best price, best service, and best chance of not getting ripped off! Scams are coming out of the woodwork these days, and it will only get worse before it gets better. If you fall into the trap of believing the stuff on somebody&#8217;s website without ever knowing anything about them or making them feel personally obligated to you, then you are asking for trouble.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>6.Inspect and approve merchandise before it is shipped</strong>. This one kind of ties in with point number 5&#8230; but it&#8217;s worth giving its own number. If you&#8217;re shipping a high-volume load of goods, and you&#8217;ve put a lot of money behind it&#8230; do us all a favor and take a flight out to wherever you are sourcing from. I know a guy from Africa who supplies uniforms and industrial safety wear to companies in his home country, and he always makes sure he&#8217;s the last to personally <em>touch </em>the shipping container before it&#8217;s locked up and transferred to the ship. Guess what? He&#8217;s never been ripped off since he started doing it. He also reckons he&#8217;s made up for the travel expense with the money that <em>wasn&#8217;t</em> lost.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>7.Take advantage of online resources</strong>. Become an online resource. Nothing beats the Internet for ease of information-gathering&#8230; but when <em>you </em>become the source of information, the world really opens up to you. This doesn&#8217;t mean you need to be an expert in the entire field, but if you begin posting your findings and stories on the Internet, you&#8217;ll be amazed at how many others are looking for the same info as you were, back when you were just a <em>noob</em>&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>8.Consider hiring an international trade consultant&#8230; but don&#8217;t neglect to become personally familiar with all monetary transactions</strong>. In short, hire the right person for the critical stuff&#8230; but make sure you know enough to keep that bean-counter from taking a little skim off the top.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>9.Use a trade lawyer for agent and distributor agreements and licensing requirements</strong>. Not much more I can say about this one, since the legal stuff is something few of us enjoy sinking our teeth into. Make sure you get the right person for the job, and get updates on what&#8217;s going on at all major turning points.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>10.Start on a very small scale</strong>. My mum used to tell me if I played with fire, I will get burned. Start with a small fire, until your hide gets thick enough to handle the really hot stuff.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">With these little nuggets of tried-and-true wisdom, you can feel good about making the move towards expanding your horizons to include the vast array of goods that are available from outside sources. Don&#8217;t fear the challenges that lie ahead, and be prepared to do the work required to get yourself up to speed on handling this new operation of yours. If you&#8217;re looking at checking out the China market for some wholesale goodies, remember that doing business with China can at times be on friendly terms&#8230; and often turn into aggressive ones in a big hurry. Recent financial leverage gained by the PRC has made them the new bully on the block in some regards, and you&#8217;ll find that this attitude can manifest itself quite openly at the bargaining table&#8230; but you may be surprised to find another bargaining session taking place right before your goods are released to be shipped! Remember the guidelines above, and take a deep breath as you <strong><em>Find it. Source it. Profit!</em></strong></p>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify">Looking for general merchandise, apparel, accessories, gifts, electronics, handbags, jewelry, toys, and more can be a real test sometimes, especially when there&#8217;s a lot of new products out there&#8230; and not much time to sort through it all. While sites like  <strong><a href="http://www.toptenwholesale.com" >toptenwholesale.com</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.manufacturer.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.manufacturer.com');">manufacturer.com</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.wholesaleu.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.wholesaleu.com');">wholesaleu.com</a></strong>, and <strong><a href="http://www.offpricenetwork.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.offpricenetwork.com');">offpricenetwork.com</a></strong> can help you cut through the haze, it&#8217;s often a good idea to check our regular updates to see what else is going on in the ever-changing world of wholesale.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1596" src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/oz-banner-2.jpg" alt="oz-banner-2" width="435" height="145" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">This time, I&#8217;m going to point out a leading online wholesaler of off-price clothing named <strong><a href="http://www.orangezoneinc.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.orangezoneinc.com');">Orange Zone Inc</a></strong>. This company is going to become your best friend for sourcing the hottest fashions without having to pay top prices, especially if you&#8217;re looking for <strong>plus-size apparel</strong>! <strong>Orange Zone</strong> is putting the emphasis on quality, value, and purchasing new overstock apparel directly from the nation&#8217;s largest manufacturers and suppliers. Here&#8217;s a few points to consider about this amazing company:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1597" src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/plusgirl.gif" alt="plusgirl" width="141" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><em>Quality plus-size apparel</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><em>just got easier to source!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><em><br />
</em></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Successful strategic partnerships</strong> that have been in effect since 1996 allow Orange Zone to provide you with the best deals on fashion at the lowest possible prices. That&#8217;s real buying power, and the savings are passed directly to you!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Buying the <strong>latest fashion</strong> in large wholesale volume brings the discounts to you.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The company <strong>carefully sorts through and categorizes merchandise</strong> into unique, marketable and right-sized wholesale lots. That means no odds-and-ends, and les guesswork!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>This company&#8217;s methods are <strong>built specifically</strong> for small to mid sized apparel retailers, on-line sellers, apparel distributors, and exporters.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>All of the apparel</strong> purchased is First Quality and Grade-A Authentic Merchandise.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Orange Zone does not buy irregular or returns</strong>. You will receive the same product found in your mid and high end apparel companies and department store retailers&#8230; except for the incredibly low prices!</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, the other great advantage is Orange Zone&#8217;s advantage is found in the shipping program and customer service. Every order is treated with care, and phone calls or emails are answered immediately. Products are 100% guaranteed, making the process much less painless, as you discover your next number one source for apparel. With no minimum dollar amount on orders required, you should give Orange Zone a try&#8230; and find out what happens when you discover a solid partner in the wholesale business as you continue to <strong><em>Find it. Source it. Profit!</em></strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[The headlines are confusing and often rather self-contradictory, as we see stories telling us that the sky is falling one day, and another batch of stories telling us that the recession is over the next day! What is a wholesale or retail specialist supposed to do with this? Luckily, the answer is easy: do whatever you can to boost your own sales, in spite of what the mouthpieces might be blaring at any given time! Read on to see my story about the efforts that online wholesalers like Dollar Days are doing to battle the ominous economic bust...
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>I&#8217;m pretty confused</strong>. The headlines are all about a recession one day and a recovery the next, Ben Bernanke is assuring me that  the financial crisis is over, and the price of gold is making my head spin. Brazil is boosting its export market to the USA, and I&#8217;m sitting here in Hangzhou, China&#8230; watching the country continue to build, build, build. It&#8217;s a lot for me to wrap my head around. It probably is for you, too. While leading verticals like <strong><a href="http://www.toptenwholesale.com" >Toptenwholesale.com</a></strong> and its network of sites (<strong><a href="http://www.manufacturer.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.manufacturer.com');">manufacturer.com</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.wholesaleu.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.wholesaleu.com');">wholesaleu.com</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.offpricenetwork.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.offpricenetwork.com');">offpricenetwork.com</a></strong>) help buyers locate general merchandise, apparel, accessories, gifts, electronics, handbags, jewelry, toys, and more&#8230; there&#8217;s a few others in the industry that seem to have a better handle on reality than most right now. A great example of one of them is <strong><a href="http://dollardays.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://dollardays.com');">DollarDays</a></strong>, a wholesale distributor who offers some superb options to the people who are either preparing for lean times in the job market&#8230; or maybe even those who are looking for something to bring revenue in while they are unemployed!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1516" src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dollardays_wholesale_sun_logo.gif" alt="dollardays_wholesale_sun_logo" width="245" height="55" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let&#8217;s face it, in the middle of this <em>non-recession(?)</em>, it pays to have a set of alternatives up your sleeve. I&#8217;ve mentioned the rise of opportunities during these economic hard times before, and I&#8217;ll say it again: this kind of market presents a lot of chances to service customers who are looking for the best deals, and the most personalized service. While the big box retailers do fine at their job of moving massive amounts of goods, they fail at identifying each customer&#8217;s needs on a case-by-case basis. This is where <strong>you </strong>step in, and make everything right for the frustrated consumer who needs immediate attention! DollarDays offers <a href="http://dollardays.com/startupnation-topics.aspx" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://dollardays.com/startupnation-topics.aspx');">a whole bunch of advice</a> for aspiring entrepreneurs as well as a quick-install, affordable option to start your own online store.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s some additional highlights:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>This is a company that sells over 25,000 different wholesale goods on its website, and they are very interested in helping you to begin and grow your own business.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Visitors have a choice between getting set up through their affiliate program, or by allowing the option to stock and sell their own goods.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>While there are hundreds &#8211; if not thousands &#8211; of sites that sell DollarDays goods, there are also plenty of brick and mortar stores that stock their products as well.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you don’t have the space to stock products, DollarDays offers a convenient drop-ship program that allows venders to drop-ship certain products by the piece.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you plan on buying a lot of goods from DollarDays, you can enroll in their Platinum Program, which could mean huge savings for you.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Look out for the <strong>twitter </strong>and <strong>facebook </strong>links on their site as well, and while you&#8217;re at it&#8230; make sure you get connected to our pages as well, where you can sign up to receive tweets, feeds, and updates from us about all the ways you&#8217;ll continue to <strong><em>Find it. Source it. Profit!</em></strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[I'll be the first to admit it, we like to talk about ourselves. However, that's only because we're always doing what we can to bring the latest wholesale and retail news to our readers as it comes down the pipeline! We also love to talk about awesome powerhouses and featured partners like R.G. Riley, who have been shaping the landscape of wholesale and retail for some time now. Read the story to learn more abut this tremendous seller, and perhaps glean some insight about what makes them so successful. After all, anyone could benefit from investigating the secrets of an industry giant, and you've got a chance to see it all right here...

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>What makes a seller successful?</strong> In simple terms, it all comes down to how well you manage your business, and how easy you make it for the customer to take part in a transaction, right? Well, that&#8217;s the boring <em>textbook version</em>&#8230; while you can easily find a huge array of companies like these on the pages of <strong><a href="http://www.toptenwholesale.com" >Toptenwholesale.com</a></strong> and its network of sites featuring <strong><a href="http://www.manufacturer.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.manufacturer.com');">manufacturer.com</a></strong>,<ahref="http://www.wholesaleu.com"><strong>wholesaleu.com</strong></a>,and<ahref="http://www.offpricenetwork.com"><strong>offpricenetwork.com</strong></a>, I&#8217;d like to point out that one particular seller is certainly worthy of being featured in today&#8217;s blog post: <strong>R.G. Riley</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><a href="http://www.rgriley.com/cgi-bin/rileyw/site.w?sponsor=000001&amp;frames=no&amp;target=main" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.rgriley.com/cgi-bin/rileyw/site.w?sponsor=000001&amp;frames=no&amp;target=main');"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1505" src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/riley-screen-cap1.jpg" alt="riley screen cap" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><em>&#8220;All the consumers are looking for a value, so we&#8217;re </em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><em>able to provide that value and that price because of</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><em>the volume we buy.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>R.G. Riley proves that sticking to a game plan is crucial to success</strong>, by offering only wholesale closeouts and graded irregular t-shirts, sweat shirts, sweat pants and related active wear. With featured products from <strong>Hanes</strong>, <strong>Fruit of the Loom</strong>, <strong>Gildan</strong>, <strong>Badger</strong>, <strong>Russell</strong>,  <strong>Delta</strong>, and other labels&#8230; this company has been in the business of bringing customers the right fit at the right price for over 75 years. Simplicity seems to be the theme with this powerhouse seller too, as they  specialize in case lot prepacks, which are sold by the case. Determining unit cost is as simple as dividing the case price by the number of prepack units. Anyone can do this kind of math! In addition to a simple selling strategy, R.G. Riley&#8217;s high-volume inventory changes by over 40,000 dozen per week. <a href="http://www.rgriley.com/index.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.rgriley.com/index.html');"><strong>Visit their website sometime</strong></a>, to find everything you need from the company&#8217;s main contact information, links to tradeshow activity, a public <strong><a href="http://www.rgriley.com/cgi-bin/rileyw/site.w?sponsor=000001&amp;frames=no&amp;target=main" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.rgriley.com/cgi-bin/rileyw/site.w?sponsor=000001&amp;frames=no&amp;target=main');">online catalog</a></strong> and a secure online ordering system. They even offer a web site <strong><a href="http://www.rgriley.com/guide.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.rgriley.com/guide.html');">help page</a></strong> that explains the online catalog and ordering modules in detail, and an <strong><a href="http://www.rgriley.com/faq.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.rgriley.com/faq.html');">FAQ page</a></strong> that addresses many common questions and provides additional information about ordering, delivery, and company terms and policies. If that isn&#8217;t enough, you can even check out their facility by taking a virtual tour with online pictures, too!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>R.G. Riley is an outstanding wholesale clothing distributor</strong> featuring inexpensive clothing, including irregular clothing and overstock apparel. Their customers include discount stores, chain stores, food and drug stores, <a href="http://www.ebay.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.ebay.com');"><strong>ebay.com</strong></a> merchants, flea market vendors, dollar stores, general merchandise stores, thrift and goodwill stores, as well as charitable organizations. They will also be on display next year, at the following venue:</p>

Fashion trends emerged and grew over the past year to guide wholesalers in the fast-approaching Holiday 2009 buying season. With a special focus on wholesale jeans, sexy underwear and exercise apparel  – drawn from fashion blogs, trade shows and other style watchers – here are wholesale buyer and seller tips from Top Ten Wholesale.</p>
<p><strong>Soften Edges of Biker Babe Look </strong><br />
Rebellious styles are still in fashion with Fall/Winter demand for ripped jeans, bomber jackets and motorcycle boots. </p>
<p>See wholesale suppliers of leatherwear at <strong><a href="http://www.toptenwholesale.com/wholesale/leather-clothing/" >Top Ten Wholesale Leather Clothing </a></strong>. Includes <img src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/WesternExpressLOGO.gif" alt="Western Express" title="Western Express" width="174" height="61" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1457" /> <strong><a href="http:///www.wexpress.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http:///www.wexpress.com');">Western Express</a></strong> and other fine leather clothing suppliers.. </p>
<p>It’s equally fashionable this year to </p>
<p>(1)   Inexpensively update a look by adding to your wardrobe . . . using what you already own; and </p>
<p>(2)   Softening up the “whole hog” motorcycle look by adding flouncy tops <div id="attachment_1459" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 140px"><img src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Boulevard_19147_GauzyBlouseShirredWaist.JPG" alt="Gauzy Blouse" title="" width="130" height="172" class="size-full wp-image-1459" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Gauzy Blouse</p></div> or simple shift dresses. </p>
<p>Women softening the Biker Babe Look are also reducing the head-to-toe leather quotient with denim and jeans.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Denim_Jeans.jpg" alt="Denim_Jeans" title="Denim_Jeans" width="147" height="203" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1460" />.<br />
See wholesale jeans suppliers at <strong><a href="http://www.toptenwholesale.com/cgi-bin/searchapp/search.cgi?type=product&#038;q=jeans" >Top Ten Wholesale Jeans </a></strong> . </p>
<p><strong>Stock Fashionable Plus-Size Jeans</strong><br />
Great style this year comes in all sizes . . . especially when the fashion savvy pair dark jeans with a dark-colored top to create the chic illusion of a long slender silhouette.<br />
.<br />
.</p>
<img src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/QLatifah_PlusTopJeans_9-09.JPG" width="78" height="104" class="size-full wp-image-1462" /> 
<p>So shows and tells Queen Latifah, with same-color, dark-hued plus-size jeans and embellished top. </p>
<p>Search for suppliers of <strong><a href="http://www.offpricenetwork.com/search/plus-size" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.offpricenetwork.com/search/plus-size');">wholesale plus-size women’s clothing at Off-Price Network </a></strong> . </p>
<p><strong>Shapewear and Under Garments</strong><br />
Keep curvy, clingy holiday dresses line-free and bulge-free . . .</p>
<p>Help fashionistas hide some of those diet-buster holiday goodies . . .</p>
<p>Keep exercise mavens safe under the sweats . . .</p>
<p><strong>Body Shapers – </strong>known generically and by brand names such as Spanks, Body Slimmers from Nancy Ganz and others, and Shaper Lingerie – body shapers help smooth bulges, bumps and panty or hosiery lines under those popular, glittery holiday dresses. Shapers also keep new-style “boxy” women’s dress pants bulge-free.</p>
<p>Some shapers come as low-cut torso trimmers <img src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Underwear_Shapewear.JPG" alt="" title="" width="270" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1464" /> . Some extend almost to the knee, as thigh shapers. And other body shaping lingerie covers trouble spots, such as stretchy slimming “girdles” or abdomen wraps.</p>
<p>See <strong><a href="http://www.toptenwholesale.com/netseer.html?q=Sexy%20Plus%20Size%20Lingerie&#038;bid=10&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2F" >Top Ten Wholesale’s List of Sexy Plus-Size Lingerie Sources </a></strong> .  See also suppliers of <strong><a href="http://www.offpricenetwork.com/search/lingerie" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.offpricenetwork.com/search/lingerie');">Wholesale Lingerie at Off-Price Network  </a></strong>.  </p>
<p><strong>Sports Bras – </strong>Exercising and athletic women may spend less on their outerwear of sweats and sweatpants, in order to invest in a good sports bra that will protect them during jogs, runs, Pilates and exercise workouts.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/SportBra.JPG" alt="Sport Bra" title="Sport Bra" width="163" height="160" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1465" /> Fashionista advice to women is to Never Wear Sports Lingerie Under Street or Party Clothes. (The athletic lingerie is for restriction and low-stress exercise; but it does not produce a flattering figure under a slinky party dress!) </p>
<p>Women’s apparel retailers should consider pairing lower cost, off-price sweats (like from manufacturer closeout specialists <strong><a href="http://www.rgriley.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.rgriley.com');">R. G. Riley </a></strong> <img src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/RGRileyLOGO.jpg" alt="" title="" width="126" height="77" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1467" />  . . . with higher-margin health and comfort sports bras. See <strong><a href="http://www.offpricenetwork.com/opn/search.a?q=athletic clothing and lingerie" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.offpricenetwork.com/opn/search.a?q=athletic clothing and lingerie');">wholesale suppliers of athletic clothing from Off-Price Network </a></strong>.  </p>
<p>Oh, don’t forget the <strong>Boy Undies for Girls and Ladies</strong>. Boxer-style underwear from the men’s fashion racks are still selling brisky as casual and at-home underwear for young women. Don’t believe it? Check out fashion spreads in male-targeted publications like Maxim. You’ll see young women in trim and fitted, small-sized boxer shorts, including fun prints.<br />

Read the story to see my TopTen reasons for visiting the show, and maybe even to get a little inside info on what  to expect to see once you're there...
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The International Home and Housewares Show 2010 (March 14-16)</strong> will be the place to see the latest designs, concepts, and styles of new and exciting items next year. Will you be amongst the lucky ones who get a close look at the goods before everyone else does? This awesome show will be held at McCormick Place in Chicago with the sole aim of boosting home goods products on a global front. The various products that will be exhibited are divided into four separate shows that will be held within the event, and more than 2000 exhibitors will be present to display various home goods products while unveiling a host of other innovations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1414" src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/home-and-house-logo.jpg" alt="home and house logo" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To give you a quick and easy overview of the show&#8217;s proposed highlights, check out my handy little list of TopTen Reasons to Attend the International Home and Housewares Show 2010:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>The exposition provides a platform for over 60,000 buyers from more than 110 nations throughout the world. That&#8217;s a lot of pairs of eyes, and they won&#8217;t just be focused on the goods on display&#8230; in other words, a great chance to do some effective networking.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The event will be held at <a href="http://www.mccormickplace.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.mccormickplace.com');">McCormick Place</a>, which isn&#8217;t a bad place to be! <a href="http://www.mccormickplace.com/pdf/regional_map.pdf" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.mccormickplace.com/pdf/regional_map.pdf');">Located in Chicago</a> and easy to find, it&#8217;s a great venue for attendees to relax and take in all the sights in comfort and convenience.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Those who might want to attend this event would be individuals in the fields of: Specialty &amp; department stores, mail order/catalog companies, gift/gourmet shops, mass merchandisers/discounters, hardware stores, home &amp; garden centers, e-tailers, importers/exporters, distributors and manufacturers representatives.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Many of the items on display will cover themes such as: cookware, kitchen gadgets, cutlery, specialty appliances (electric and non-electric), tabletop, decorative accessories,  kitchen textiles, home storage items, personal care, lifestyle furnishings, and specialty foods.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>At the time of this writing, the <strong>IHA (International Housewares Association) </strong>has posted on their website: “There is no charge for trade participants to attend the Show for those who register before midnight Saturday before the Show starts.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>CNN Headline News</strong> will be covering the event, and will also position kioks around the show&#8217;s floorspace to allow easy access.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Be on the lookout for space-saving storage solutions to make some waves during the show&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Pay attention to what the Chinese maufacturers are doing these days&#8230; for example, a huge signing between Hamilton-Beach and Galanz is resulting in a comprehensive line of <em>Hamilton Beach</em> and <em>Proctor Silex</em> branded microwave ovens, which will be on display at the show.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.compusystems.com/servlet/ar?evt_uid=126" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/https://www.compusystems.com/servlet/ar?evt_uid=126');">Online registration</a> can be done!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Many other questions can be answered at the <a href="http://www.housewares.org/show/info/faq.aspx" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.housewares.org/show/info/faq.aspx');">FAQ page</a> provided by the IHA.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">No reason to delay&#8230; just take a look at the information about the show, and get your schedule cleared for the second week of March 2010!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven&#8217;t started thinking about the holiday season and what products you&#8217;re going to fill your stores with yet&#8230;what are you waiting for?!?  It&#8217;s already October, and the smart shoppers are already getting their holiday buying started. I asked my friend Candice Pepe, over at Nygala Corporation, if she can offer some insight on some good selling products for the holidays and any tips she had for retailers and consumers this year. She gave me some good feedback. </p>
<p>Candice writes:</p>
<p>Even in the dead of winter, Poinsettias are colorful and full of life. It’s no wonder they’re the most popular flower during the winter/Christmas season. You can be sure to pass rows of them in the snow, blooming on front porches, under Christmas trees, and beautifully arranged inside homes. Artificial poinsettias are a must have! </p>
<p><a href="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wholesale-christmas-products.htm/up-close-114-x-175"  rel="attachment wp-att-1296"><img src="http://blog.toptenwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/up-close-114-x-175.jpg" alt="up-close (114 x 175)" width="114" height="175" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1296" /></a></p>
<p>When it comes to supplying the very best selection and helping your customers to find great ways to use them, here are some useful tips so you can be the poinsettia retail expert in your area. </p>
<p>Ways customers use Poinsettia bushes and picks: </p>
<p>• Stick some long stem poinsettias in the ground along a house or entryway for a beautiful winter garden look without all that hard work. Glittery assortments will glisten with the snow giving an exquisite appearance. </p>
<p>• Companies large and small use flowers to decorate around offices and public spaces during the holidays. </p>

<p>• Strategically stick or glue in some poinsettia flower heads in a homemade wreath. </p>
<p>How to choose t he best Poinsettias: </p>
<p>• Look for high quality textures like satin and velvet for an authentic and luxurious look. </p>
<p>• Make sure you’re loaded with the most popular colors: burgundy, red, white </p>
<p>• Get more bang for your buck. Some suppliers skimp on the amount of flower heads on one bush. Go with the wholesaler that’s going to give you the most out of your inventory. When a customer is faced with choosing a bush with more or less flower heads, they are usually going to go with the one with more. </p>
<p>• To have the best selection of Christmas flowers in town, have basic and unique choices.  Special effects on flowers, like glitter, metallic finishes, fake sparkly snow, berries, and hand-wrapped stems will make your assortment become a true “find” for any consumer. </p>
<p>•  Have the accessories to match. Greenery and branches are the finishing touch to any holiday flower arrangement or decoration. Some popular choices include, metallic leaves, fern, hollies, pine branches, and frosty berries.</p>
<p>It’s getting even closer to the winter holiday season so schedule your delivery for Christmas flowers today before stocks run out! </p>
