How to Choose the Right Quantities When Buying Wholesale

One of the most impactful decisions for a wholesale trader's profitability is determining the right quantity per order. Over-ordering ties up capital in slow-moving inventory, while under-ordering means missed opportunities when demand rises.

At Alealam Almumayaz, we advise our traders to start with moderate quantities on new items to gauge market response before scaling up orders, while making use of the minimum order quantity set for each item.

Track each item's performance monthly and focus your next orders on the best-selling colors and sizes — this reduces stagnant stock and improves capital turnover.
