Pros and Cons of a Toy Wholesale Store in Singapore
Wholesale toy stores have always been around and have in a way revolutionized the acts of buying and selling in Singapore. They act as a bridge that connects manufacturers to retailers, distributors and other small sellers. They buy in bulk and pass the goods on to the rest, thus ensuring that retailers’ and small sellers’ shelves always remain stocked.
That’s why we at Camtec can ensure that shops and stores never run out of toys that children always seem to want. Not for nothing are we called- Camtec Kids Specialist. Wholesale buying is a cost-effective way to fill our shelves and also earn profit. However, it’s not always plain-sailing, for though we benefit, we have to contend with other forces too.
Increases visual processing
Visual processing is necessary for map reading and problem solving. Art and craft activities like modelling using play dough, sands and a variety of other material help strengthen a child’s visual processing skills. Through clay modelling kids make different patterns and shapes using different coloured clay. Kids learn to use their sense of touch and model variety of objects using either their hands or moulds. They learn the construction and deconstruction process. All this helps them later with geometry and trignometry in advanced class as these concepts use graphs, object rotation and images.
Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of a toy wholesale store-
Pros
1. Bulk buying saves money
For starters our stores can save buyers a lot of money, especially those who are looking to buy a large number of similar toys. As we specialize in selling such toys at highly reduced prices, buyers get their bulk orders at highly discounted rates. The difference in price is huge enough to be significant.
2. Wholesale alternatives
Usually, toy companies that sell toys charge a lot for premium and quality toys that are safe for children. Though every parent wants to buy them for their children, many of them cannot afford to do so. Wholesale toy stores such as Camtec makes things easy for them by providing them with equally good alternatives at a greatly reduced price. Such a solution serves parents well not only while buying toys for their children but also when they buy return gifts to distribute amongst kids at birthday parties or baby showers.
3. Quality toys at good prices
Some toys are favorites with all kids and we at Camtec realize this. Manufacturers too focus on this aspect and fill wholesalers’ shelves with these favorite toys. As the cost of manufacturing similar toys goes down, wholesale toy stores like Camtec can easily fulfill the needs of the kids without compromising on quality and price. It’s a win-win for both- buyers and wholesale sellers.
4. Can stock variety of toys
Wholesale toy stores can stock on goods from different manufacturers. This gives buyers many buying options at a single place. As a one-stop-shop for all customer toy needs, we at Camtec remain unbeatable. Singapore toy wholesale is something that we are very good at.
5. Price flexibility
- Wholesale stores do offer buyers competitive prices and those who are frequent buyers get an added advantage of even more appealing prices. Retailers prefer to shop wholesale because of such benefits.
Though large scale savings and immediate availability of toys are distinct advantages for wholesalers, there are downsides to wholesale buying.
Cons
- Initial upfront cost
Buying in bulk requires huge investment of capital and not many companies or small sellers can afford that kind of money. Many wholesalers insist on a minimum order limit, which may be a problem for many. - Storage problems
Although buying in bulk does reduce prices for all concerned, large volumes of toys and other goods need adequate storage till the goods are sold. Renting spaces, transport costs, expensive modern equipment, only add to the business overhead costs. - Competition from online sellers
With online sellers jumping onto the selling bandwagon, wholesalers are being sidelined. Online buying is putting the wholesale industry into jeopardy. - Supermarkets cut in
Emerging supermarkets has also affected the wholesale trade to a large extent as the former tend to buy directly from the manufacturers. But acquiring current gadgets and implementing new systems can be very expensive and might not be cost-effective in some cases.
We at Camtec are proud to be called the ‘kids’ specialist’ for we live up to that name in letter and in spirit.
