| Q:
How is Wholesale Music Club different from all the other so called
wholesale companies on the internet? |
| A: The answer is
simple. Most of the other "wholesale offers" online are available to
the general public. With these other so called wholesale companies,
there is no separation between wholesaler, dealer, and the end user
(consumer). Real wholesalers will only sell B2B (business to business)
any company offering "wholesale deals" that does not require a
business license or tax id from you is not a real wholesale
distributor. You have to ask yourself, "Do I want to buy from a
discounted music retailer or a real music instrument
master-distributor? The answer is obvious. With Wholesale Music Club,
we only sell our gold wholesale membership package to licensed
re-sellers. All 120 wholesale musical instrument warehouses within our
network require a business license or tax id from all members. There
is zero public access. This keeps the integrity in place between the
true wholesale supplier and the dealer. Your company buys the music
instrument products at the same wholesale price that your local music
shop pays. There are still super profit margins out there selling
musical instruments.
|
| Q:
Do I have to have an actual store front in order to join Wholesale
Music Club? |
| A: No. Among those that
purchase the Gold Wholesale Package are small to mid sized companies
selling via mail order, swap meets, internet, as well as small retail
locations. It is not 100% necessary to have an actual store.
|
| Q:
I have seen offers online about a CD with 10,000 wholesale sources.
What is this all about? |
| A: If you need
wholesale sources for beans, shoe laces, hay, or bulk fabrics.... the
CD is for you. If you are seeking true wholesale distributors
supplying musical instrument products to dealers only,.... then you
need Wholesale Music Club. Basically the "cheap" wholesale CD's out
there are garbage. Plus, they will sell these CD's to anyone. The
general public has access to the same information. You want real
business to business wholesale distributors that don't deal with the
public.
|
| Q:
What are the minimum order requirements with the club and the other
120 wholesale musical instrument distributors? |
| A: Minimum order
requirements vary by distributor. Usually the minimum order is between
$50.00 to $200.00

| Q:
What is a manufacturer? |
| A: A manufacturer is
the maker of the brand. Most mass - manufacturers of musical
instruments reside in China & Korea. (Although most all of the better
music brands do manufacture here in the USA)
|
| Q:
What is a distributor? |
| A: A distributor is a
privately owned mass supplier to the music dealers. The distributor
has massive buying power and stocks each musical instrument item in
large quantities. Most wholesale musical instrument distributors here
in the USA sell at the same "dealer price" that the actual
manufacturer does. The musical instrument distributor function is to
supply the musical instruments & accessories at a closer proximity
without a price increase to the licensed dealer. Keep in mind, using "wil-call"
is a way to save $$. Simply search for the distributors in your state
after completion of your membership. You will save tons on shipping -
by picking up the orders yourself. (wil-call ) There are over 100
massive wholesale musical instrument warehouses across the United
States. Chances are there are many near you. Remember, these companies
only sell to licensed retailers / dealers / internet sellers / etc.
Many real wholesale distributors will only sell to dealers with
commercial addresses. Although it is not 100% necessary to have a
commercial address. Speak to a wholesale consultant @ (949) 716-6222

What is a drop shipper? |

state. You pay for the product, the drop-shipper ships it directly to
your customer. You never touch the product. This saves on shipping
costs, therefore increasing your profit potential.

public dealer / outlet that will sell to anyone. Examples include:

in massive 60 Ft. Container lots and offer amazingly low wholesale
prices. Wholesale music warehouse club uncovers the real

to where the big boys buy their goods. Get ready to take your business
to the next level and beyond.
|
| Q:
What is e-bay? |
| A: E-Bay is an auction
house. Small dealers and private sellers list their goods for sale to
the highest bidder. Our members have much more success selling through
custom web sites, although if done right, you can make thousands on
e-bay. Its all about finding nitch products. It can be
done,....however, we suggest selling through small shops, and custom
web sites made for selling music gear. The flea market, local high
schools..... are also great places to sell music instruments and
accessories.
|
| Q:
Why sell musical instruments & accessories? |
| A: Billions are spent
each year on musical instruments. Do you know anyone who doesn’t own a
keyboard, microphone or guitar? Why not sell things people need and
use. Everyone uses musical instruments! Plus, you love musical
instruments too right? Go ahead and put some of those profits in your
pocket. Speak to a wholesale consultant @ (949) 716-6222 Fax your tax
