Please make sure you are familiar with the difficulties of selling branded perfumes. If you want to source new season designer branded cosmetics, you will need to contact the cosmetic brands directly to obtain more information about becoming an official retailer. The brands will evaluate your business to see if it fits their strategic requirements; restrictions normally include owning a physical store in a strategic location and being able to guarantee a minimum order volume per year. If you are selling designer branded cosmetics online, beware you cannot expect high profit margins; most successful online perfume retailers structure their business models on shifting large volumes of perfumes in a short period of time, and at a low profit margin per unit. This strategy is forced by how easy it is to compare prices online. Unless you have the buying power to order in volume, and are able to shift large quantities of perfumes cost effectively, new perfumes are not the ideal launch pad for online start-ups.

There is however some hope if you are just starting out and plan to sell online only. You could source last season perfumes from wholesale liquidators of surplus, ex-catalog and bankruptcy liquidation stock. Liquidation suppliers sell 100% genuine designer branded cosmetics at a fraction of the wholesale price. Have a look at the following UK suppliers:

• :: Wholesale Cosmetics UK - JDA Redfern, Cosmetic Wholesale of authentic branded, cheap cosmetics, wholesale supplier of Maybelline, NYX, L’oreal, Mineral, Bags ::

Another option is to contact retailers that are currently struggling, and offer to buy their stock at discounted prices to help them with their liquidity. Be prepared to buy in truck loads if you want to obtain below wholesale prices.
