Reselling biker patches can be a great way to make some extra money, but it can also be somewhat stressful. You do have to know a bit about marketing, and you have to put some money upfront to buy your stock. But there are a few different things you can do to make it a bit easier. The easiest thing to do is to only resell embroidered patches locally. While you may not make as much money selling only to local biker clubs and your friends, there's not as much work involved. You're not going to be marketing to a wide area or shipping patches all over.
Now, this does have some drawbacks. It means your target audience is smaller and is fixed, so once you've marketed to everyone in your city or the area you decide to service, you won't have many new customers. However, since you'll know many of these people by name, you'll be able to provide more personalized services. You can recommend different motorcycle patches that you think they will like and keep them informed of new patches. You can also offer to look for patches they want that are hard to find, especially if you attend biker rallies or have online biker friends.
Why should your friends buy from you instead of a website? Well, if you have a wholesale account with The Cheap Place, you can actually get patches cheaper than their regular price. Plus, you can buy more than just patches. You can buy and then offer iron on stickers, vest extenders, and more. You can offer your customers many different styles and items, so there's always something you can sell. Plus, The Cheap Place is always getting in new items, so your catalogue will continue to expand.
