There are things you should look for when you are checking out a wholesale supplier catalog. This is important information that you might need in the future. Catalogs of wholesale suppliers contain much information, but you do not really need to memorize or take note of everything. Just remember a few things and it could be as good as remembering the entire product directory or listing itself. And what are these things? Here they are:
First thing to take note of in a wholesale supplier catalog is, of course, the things that you might buy in the future, items in the directory that could be useful for you. Now, if the product listing is a very thick one and there are very many things listed, it could overwork and strain your memory a bit trying to memorize a lot of things. If this is the case, don't make things hard on you. Take out a pen and paper and write down the items.
Next to the items you have taken mental note of or written down on a piece of paper, check their respective prices. Basically, this is what a catalog is all about - a list of a wholesale supplier's products and their prices. Try to determine if the prices are cheaper, more expensive, or just about the same compared to the actual price you personally know about.
Also, the last thing you should not fail to check if you are looking and taking note of a wholesale supplier catalog is the discount you will be getting for purchasing items listed. Do not forget, you are holding a product listing of a wholesale supplier and not a retailer's product listing. When we buy in large scale or in bulk, we normally get discounts for that. Again compare the discounts offered with discounts you know offered from another wholesale supplier.
After finishing your notes about the items, their prices, and the discounts you get from the wholesale supplier's catalog, you will have no problem deciding where to buy things from since you already know from which distributor you will be able to save more. But if you don't have plans buying anything yet, keep your notes. You might be surprised about changes implemented by the different distributors regarding their price list. Those who offered cheaper goods before could change and offer goods at a more expensive price. To be sure of things, check the updated wholesale supplier catalog once more and do the things again mentioned above.
