The 4th of July is about a month away, and in typical American fashion, a lot of procrastinators will be looking for American flags at the last minute.  If you have American flags  in your store, they will sell, and we just received a huge closeout wholesale lot.  I’m not talking about the little paper flag on a toothpick that you put on top of a cupcake, or a postcard-sized flag on a stick you put in a potted plant on your porch.  These are the real deal; big, proud American flags.  Hang one of these babies up at your house and no one will ever question your patriotism again.  They are made of durable fabric with hemmed edges to help them stand up to heavy winds.

We have 2 sizes, which nicely fit any budget.  Our smaller flag (item # GM251) is 2 feet by 3 feet, and the wholesale price is 62 cents.  At this price, you could sell it in a dollar store.  In fact, if you sold these flags in a dollar store, it would be such an amazing value that they would sell out in no time.  Our larger American flag (item # GM250) is 3 feet by 5 feet, and it wholesales for $1.25.  This is a full-sized flag, and you can decide how much to retail it for.  At the very least, you will double your money on it.

What’s on your wall?  Look around and see.  How will you ever get that Lamborghini you’ve always wanted if you don’t have a poster of it hanging on your wall?  You won’t.  Can you truly live every day with the eye of the tiger if you don’t have a big poster of a tiger on your wall to remind you?  Probably not.  Will people know how much you love puppies and kittens if you don’t have posters of them on your walls?  They won’t.

Fear not!  Kole Imports has the solution for you and your customers.  We have a huge wholesale lot of assorted posters in a very nice 200-piece floor display box (Item # GL330), priced to sell in a dollar store.  The display box has a picture showing all of the different posters, with a number next to each.  Each poster in the display box has a number sticker on the end so it’s easy  for your customer to find the poster they want to buy.   

There are a variety of different posters to please a variety of different people.  There are posters of cars, kittens, puppies, angels, beaches, a woman in a bikini, dolphins, killer whales, skateboarding, surfing, a horse, a tiger, and babies playing sports.  These wall posters are wholesale priced to sell in dollar stores, so they’re a great deal, and the floor display box is very nice, and it contains 200 posters.  See the picture below, and click it to go to our wholesale website.  This is a new item category for us, and we’re sure people are going to love it.

Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! 

We just got a great deal on Reusable Water Bottles and Shopping Bags, which are great for people looking to reduce consumption of paper and plastic.  These are popular items, and they will sell well in your store.

Our reusable watter bottle (item # HB124) holds 34 ounces, has an easy to open spout at the top, and has an easy-grip handle on it.  These are very popular now, as people are buying fewer bottles of water and are switching to refillable bottles.  Here’s a picture.

We just received a shipment of very nice health and beauty closeouts, including bath brushes, scrubbers, foot files, massagers and little bottles.  These are high-quality items in nice packaging, and they have the look of expensive boutique products.  We got a great deal on them, and we’re passing the savings on to you.  These are great impulse items, especially if they’re priced low.  Women love to shop for health and beauty items, and they’ll buy these even if they already have similar items at home, especially if these items are nicer than the ones they already own. 

Even if you believe you have a complete health and beauty section in your store, you should carry these items.  They are attractively packaged and well-constructed, and your customers will buy them when they see them.  Put them into your health and beauty section, and you will see how quickly they sell out.  Our wholesale prices for these items are low, so you’re sure to make money on them.  Click here to see all of our health and beauty wholesale closeouts.  Pictures are below.

Put me in, Coach.  I’m ready to play.  Today.  Baseball season has started!  The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking good this  year.  Be ready for Dodger fans by carrying Officially Licensed MLB Baseball 2-Pack Dodgers Notepads in your store. (item # FB206)  It’s a great item at a great price, fans love the team, and now is the perfect time to be selling it. 

We have new licensed NFL Football items as well.  I’m saying this long before the NFL Football season even starts:  The Raiders are going to win the next Super Bowl.  I’m sure you agree with me, and the best way to show your love of the Raiders is to buy some Officially Licensed NFL Oakland Raiders Notepads and keep one with you at all times, spending your days filling the pages with “I ♥ The Raiders.”  We’re selling a 2-pack with one silver notebook and one black one, so no matter what crazy costume you’re wearing, you’ll have a notepad that matches your attire.

What’s that?  You’re not a Raider fan?  Why not?  You should take a few moments right now to ponder this question and think about who you really are and what you were born to do.  Football isn’t just about scoring touchdowns, playing defense and winning games.  There’s a lot more to it than that.  I just sent an email to the NFL asking them to abolish the scoring system and just have the teams play for fun.  Everyone will get a participation ribbon.  The Raiders motto will have to change from “Just Win, Baby!” to “Just Participate, Baby!”

OK, fine.  You’re not going to buy our Raiders notepads, and you’re thinking about our Dodgers notepads.  We also have new items from a lot of other teams, including NBA Basketball, NFL Football and MLB Baseball teams, many of which don’t suck, and in many cities people will buy team merchandise even if the team does suck (Case in point:  The Raiders).  We have new items from these teams:  Pistons, Heat, Bears, Bulls, Mavericks, Chiefs, Heat, Rams, Dolphins and White Sox.  The new items are wallets, notepads, and stationery sets.  See pictures below.  We also have magnets and air fresheners with the logos of a lot of other teams.  Click here to see all of our licensed sports products.
