Resellers need to find great products at a low price, so that they can sell them at a competitive price level and still make a handsome profit. Buy low, factor in overhead, and sell at a profit–that’s the basis of any business model, if you will. Mobile phone covers are a huge seller, and very much in demand today, because most consumers, no matter how much they’ve spent on their cell phone, wish to protect their investment. Users also like to jazz up their phones, and let their personality and style shine through.

There’s a wide variety of cell phone covers out there in a wide range of colors, patterns, and designs to suit anyone’s taste. And with the large number of brands of mobile phones being manufactured these days, not to mention the multiple models within each brand, it can be difficult to choose which covers to purchase for your inventory.

A little market research of your geographic area beforehand will help you determine which cell phone brands and styles of phones are popular. A few minutes on the internet should tell you which phone carriers are the most used in your town, and that will give you a great broad idea of the brands supported.

From there, take a look at the demographics. Income brackets can tell you whether you should be stocking cell phone covers for executives or working guys. Smartphones like iPhone and Blackberries are often the favorite of management types, while Motorola or Nextel may be more popular with electricians and plumbers. If you live near a major sports team, such as the Redskins or Phillies, consider looking for covers with those logos. Nascar is popular in many areas, but it’s absolutely huge in the Carolinas.

Teenage males in any area will likely go for the sports themed covers, while teen girls would probably go for girly stuff like flowers, hearts, and pink colored designed phone covers. You’ll probably find differences in taste of phone covers between the working class and more affluent kids, often a reflection of their parents’ values. Teens with the iPhone are more likely to be found in upper class neighborhoods. While kids in less prosperous neighborhoods will have less expensive phones.

Once you’ve determined the income and occupation demographics of the area in which you are located, begin to research cell phone accessory wholesalers. There are several good companies who sell on-line, as well as traditional wholesalers with warehouses and catalogs.

Factors to delve into include cost and speed of shipping, the reliability of the company, and customer service. Does the wholesaler carry a wide range of merchandise, so that you can buy everything you need at one place? Does the company guarantee their products? Are they interested in your business, or just their own? Is it an online Superstore? Can you speak to a live customer service person in case of questions or concerns about the products, policies, or is everything done electronically?

Look into several companies, and then narrow your choices to a short list. Speak to a representative from each of these finalists, and see who clicks. Even in this day and age of electronic retailing, and on-line ease of purchase, the human factor is still important. Choosing to do business with a company that feels right is just as important as any other factor.
