A few years ago, the choice of an alcohol wholesaler was not a major problem, several leading companies on the market were conducive to making the right decision quickly. Currently, this industry has significantly fragmented. Many new businesses - smaller or larger - were established, offering their contractors a wide range of solutions. Choosing an alcohol wholesaler has become a bit more difficult. There are several things to consider before signing a contract. Most importantly, these guidelines apply to both Business and Retail Customers.
Price
Let's face it, cost has almost always been the deciding factor in making an important decision. The wholesale price of alcohol matters - after all, we do not buy one or two bottles, but at least several dozen. Most firms recognize a proportional drop in unit price related to an increase in the order. Before making a transaction, it is worth comparing several competitors in this respect.
Assortment
The more goods we take from one warehouse, the more profitable the transaction will be for us. Ordering products from different companies may incur additional costs. Completing an order from one warehouse is possible only when its assortment is sufficiently rich. Many smaller businesses only sell alcohol. Larger, developed companies offer a wider range of solutions, e.g. drinks and juices, beer, sweets, coffee and tea, salty snacks, etc.
Additional costs
It seems irrational to pay extra costs when ordering in bulk. Unfortunately, smaller companies cannot afford to lose even this seemingly small amount of money. Hence, in some wholesalers we will pay not only for the goods themselves, but also for the delivery or unpacking of products.
Additional promotions
Of course, we do not order alcoholic beverages with promotional campaigns in mind. Sometimes, however, it happens that the greater the purchase, the more "additions" we can count on. Some companies offer point systems - after collecting a certain number of points, we can spend them on discounts, bottles of luxury drinks or material prizes. Many entrepreneurs add their own, personalized gadgets to the order, such as calendars, notebooks, key strings, beer mats, alcohol glasses etc. The most popular solutions of this type are: "after exceeding a given order threshold, you will receive a free bottle / packet / set of X alcohols.
Punctuality
"The order fulfillment time depends on the company's current inventory [...]". No. When ordering a specific amount of alcohol from a particular company, you need to know when you will receive the order. The facts are important here - after all, each of us has our own obligations.
Feedback
Opinions on the web are important. Larger companies that deal with running a business have already accumulated a considerable amount of comments about themselves. These should be looked for on company websites, on social networks, directly on Google or on forums and thematic websites.
