Who the wholesalehats.com resale program is built for
The wholesalehats.com resale program is designed for three primary types of buyers: event companies and promotional-product distributors purchasing hats in volume for resale, decorators sourcing blank hats to customise and sell to their own customers, and resellers placing recurring orders to support ongoing demand. For these businesses, pricing is about more than securing the lowest unit cost. It needs to support sustainable profit margins while remaining competitive. That is where Brooke of wholesalehats.com‘s expertise in brand merchandising strategies plays an important role, helping qualified resellers choose a pricing structure that fits the way they do business.
How volume-based resale pricing works at wholesalehats.com
At wholesalehats.com, resale pricing is based on order volume, with larger purchases qualifying for lower per-piece pricing. Rather than applying a single discount to every order, Brooke structures pricing in tiers that reflect each qualifying buyer’s typical purchasing volume and resale needs.
- Hats are sold and priced by the dozen: The standard unit is one dozen, or 12 hats of the same style and color, with order quantities placed in multiples of 12.
- Colors can be mixed by the dozen: For example, a reseller ordering 24 hats can purchase one dozen in one color and another dozen in a different color. This gives event companies and promotional-product distributors greater flexibility when building assortments for their customers.
- Per-piece pricing improves as order volume increases: Upon request, Brooke provides quotes across multiple quantity tiers so buyers can compare pricing at different order volumes. This allows them to identify where the per-piece cost decreases and choose the order quantity that best supports their target margins.
The tax-exempt qualification process Brooke uses
To qualify for resale pricing at wholesalehats.com, buyers must provide a valid sales tax license or resale certificate, the standard business documentation required to make tax-exempt purchases for resale. For Brooke, this qualification process is more than an administrative requirement. It serves as a vetting step to ensure that resale pricing is available only to qualified businesses purchasing products for resale, rather than end consumers placing one-time orders. Once approved, buyers can purchase both blank hats and custom embroidered hats through the resale program.
Blank hats vs. decorated hats under the resale program
The wholesalehats.com resale program covers both blank hats and custom embroidered hats. Blank hats are priced by the dozen at the standard cap price, with no digitizing or embroidery run charges. Because no production is required, reorders can be processed quickly. Buyers can also choose from more than 600 styles across more than 30 trusted brands, including Richardson, New Era, Flexfit, and Imperial. Custom embroidered hats follow the same volume-based pricing structure, with a one-time digitizing and setup fee on the first order. Future reorders simply reuse the existing digitized file. Brooke helps resellers determine whether blank hats, custom embroidered hats, or a combination of both best fits their business model.
Built on Brooke’s 18 years of experience in the wholesale hat industry, the wholesalehats.com resale program gives qualified resellers, event companies, and distributors access to a pricing tier designed for businesses that purchase in volume, rather than one-time buyers.
