Wholesale Closeout Shoes

Kole Imports… Your Shoe Source? We are now. We just received a wholesale closeout lot of shiny dress shoes in various colors. The brand name is Italic, and you can do a search on the Internet to see Italic shoes retailing for anywhere from $40 to $90 a pair. We’re wholesaling them for $5.50 a pair, so there’s plenty of profit to be made when you sell these Italic dress shoes in your store.

Each pair of shoes comes in a shoebox with the size and color written on the end. Inside the box is a pair of shiny dress shoes, wrapped in protective paper, a shoe cleaning cloth, and a plastic bag with the Italic logo on it, which your customers can use to carry their shoebox home.  Italic shoes have a leather lining, and are available in a variety of colors and sizes, as you can see in the picture above. When you order a wholesale lot of a specific color of shoe, you will get a variety of sizes of that shoe.

Wholesale Candles

We’ve just received a large shipment of closeout candles, and our wholesale candle selection is great right now. Click here to go to our website to see all of our wholeslale candles. 

We have some great quality big candles, medium sized candles, and votive candles, as well as a good variety of metal and glass candle holders. Our closeout candles are from name-brand manufacturers, and they are great values. 

If you sell candles in your store, now is a great time to add some new items.  Your customers will love them, and you’ll be making great profit on them.  Candles are also great impulse items, and they encourage repeat purchases.  People who came to your store looking for other items will see pretty fragrant candles and add them to their order.  Once a candle has been used up, you need to buy another one, so if they liked the candle you sold them, they’ll be back for more soon.  Add candles to your store.  It’s a win-win situation for you and your customers.
