Wholesale Products And Sources Update


Maxam Wholesale (B&F Systems) Offers Good Profit Opportunities For DM

Maxam Wholesale (
www.bnfusa.com) is a well guarded secret of direct marketers and a great source for premiums/incentives. They are the manufacturer for most of the items- so you're not dealing with middlemen adding mark-ups to the items.

I first heard about Maxam from Dan Kennedy (
www.dankennedy.com). According to Dan, "This is a very reputable company. Their merchandise is of excellent quality; much of it comes with guarantees and warranties." And he's right!

Authorized dealers get free access to their Password Protected Buyer's site. To get a username and password just fill out their form at the site, click the link that says "Become An Authorized Dealer". In a short time you'll receive a user name and password to get access.

What will you find there?

You can search for Top Sellers once you're in and you'll find 19pc cutlery sets for $5.28, genuine leather coats for $18.81, beautiful Grandfather clocks for $125.00. Retail is 5 to 6 times your cost. Most retailers want at least a keystone (100%) mark-up, with Maxam you're getting 500-600% mark-ups on most items.

You can also source some terrific premium items that sell for less than $1.00. Give these away, or sell them on eBay for a few cents to build you customer list.They're not junk either- it's very nice quality merchandise.

A few people are selling Maxam's stuff on eBay with success.

One of the sellers,
delta-2, seems to do pretty well. I think there's room for improvement in his sales techniques. But he's getting orders!

Once you get a username and password to the site you can order anything from their catalog with a credit card. They will also DROP-SHIP directly to your customer for a small additional fee.

They are very friendly to small entrepreneurs. Give them a try.

Before you do, go through their catalog and see which items you feel most comfortable selling. The one's you know about.

For example if you're into cooking, look at their line of cutlery and cookware.

Start with low priced items on eBay or Yahoo auctions and don't forget to keep you're buyer's lists!

Send your list items to buy on a regular basis- that's how a business is built.

I know I harp on this constantly, but it's true. Your list of buyers is the most important asset you own.

No matter what kind of business you want to start or are in you must cultivate your customers with new and additional merchandise.

Best wishes always,

- Dave
