Just ask. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Don’t be shy about asking for a discount, coupon, or kickback from your favorite wholesalers! At the same time, think about it from the perspective of a business owner yourself.

If a customer that only bought from you once in a blue moon asked for a customer loyalty discount, would you want to give her one? Probably not. At the same time, if you have women that have supported and encouraged you both practically and financially, you’d probably be happy to hook them up with something that communicates your appreciation.

Think of your wholesalers the same way. If you have brands you shop with constantly, if you’re a loyal customer who helps bring them more business by sharing your appreciation for them with other boutique owners, they might be willing to express their gratitude! Just ask.

You might be pleasantly surprised.
