I would suggest from the tone of your question you are not wanting to hold huge volumes of stock or become an importer, so I would avoid Alibaba.com for the most part, as this is primarily china based factories and agents focused on exporting large quantities, not those who hold stock in smaller quantities for distributors to draw down on (although may be some exceptions). You haven't mentioned your country, but if in the USA (those who don't mention are usually American!) I would suggest investigating becoming a member of either the ASI (Advertising Specialties Institute) or PPAI (Promotional Products Association International). This will cost you in either case (ASI more expensive), but you will get a magic "number" that means suppliers will take you more seriously, plus a book of where to find what basically. Hope this helps and good luck. Matthew Cummins Global Advertising Products (Australia) http://www.adproducts.com.au<br><b>References : </b><br> It depends what country you are in.
