So, you need to make an order for silicone hoses. Not only that, but you need them in bulk quantities. Plenty of places have silicon hoses for sale. You may be wondering: how can I avoid paying more than I should? One possible answer might be to buy your products wholesale. Wholesale has its own benefits and drawbacks, which each customer should consider on a case by case basis. To that end, we've listed some of the benefits and drawbacks of buying wholesale here:

Wholesale Benefits:

• KEEP COSTS LOW -- This is probably the most recognizable benefit of buying wholesale; the more you buy, the cheaper the product tends to be. Even small businesses can take advantage of wholesale options if their order is large enough. If it isn't, some businesses will sometimes pool their orders together to qualify for the minimum amount.
• EASE OF PURCHASE -- Wholesalers tend to be "one stop shops" because they often have a full stock of products.
• START SHOPPING ONLINE -- Most wholesalers don't begin the sales process online, but we do! Fill out our wholesale form, and one of our sales representatives will reach out to you within 24 hours.
• LESS TRIPS SHOPPING -- More product per purchase means less purchases overall, and that's extra time to spend on your business. Even online shopping orders can take up time if you have to do them often enough.
• BEAT OUT THE COMPETITION -- Maybe the most lucrative aspect of buying wholesale is that it lets you undercut any competition not also receiving wholesale discounts. For many businesses, this allows them to completely corner a market within their geographical reach.

Wholesale Drawbacks:

• STORAGE SPACE -- Buying wholesale can be a problem for businesses that don't have a lot of extra storage space. Sometimes, businesses have to rent space for this reason. Consider these factors into the cost of your order.
• LARGE UPFRONT COST -- While overall costs are lower with wholesale, that minimum quantity requirement can be a major obstacle for smaller businesses. Wholesale products are a larger investment, and should be handled accordingly. For smaller businesses, sometimes the only option is pooling together resources.
• SHELF LIFE -- Shelf life is more of a problem with other products, as silicone lasts a long time before it reaches its expiration date (which is about 20 years). Still, it could be something to take into consideration for extremely large orders.
