While wholesalers have been around for a long time, they don’t market themselves too much. They rely on people doing research in order to find them, and generally will exclusively sell to businesses rather than members of the public. Wholesale suppliers are able to provide nice products at low costs because of the multitudes of the goods that they have. While a wholesaler may sell product for $10, a retailer may sell it for $20, the wholesaler makes a profit on the cost of their product and the retailer makes a profit on the price of the wholesale.
