How to get started
“Where Do I Get Started?” You Might Ask—Recommended Lines To Help
After years of selling licensed products and related goods, we’ve noticed patterns and can tell what lines are best to start you on your way as a retailer first getting into this category.
Below are the common retailer categories we sell to, and what vendors we’d recommend looking at to get you started. This list by no means limits any retailer to those particular lines…we just feel these particular vendors will be a good way to ensure success and future growth on your sales floor.

We call these Starter Orders and you can access them via a collection of files that you can access by clicking here . Note: you can save these files to your desktop too.
