#1: Choose a Wholesaler
Okay, so this one is definitely obvious but also one of the most important decisions you’ll make when starting wholesale. Here are some of the most important things to consider when choosing your wholesale provider:
- Pricing: With this added service, you’ll want to get the most bang for your buck. So, we highly recommend shopping around for the best prices and the best margins per rental.
- Shipping Timelines: This is an important one. Find a wholesale provider that can ship to your business within 1-3 business days. Your customers might need replacement pieces, and you’ll want to be able to get them what they need in time for their event without costing you an arm and a leg.
- Wide Selections of Styles & Colors: Choose a wholesaler with the styles, colors, and product offerings that are most attractive to your customers and what they’re looking for! For example, choose a wholesaler specializing in wedding attire if you’re in the wedding industry.
- Quality: Long-term, the quality of your rentals will certainly matter to your customers. So, find a wholesaler who is known to provide quality suits and tuxedos for your customers.

Don’t forget to factor in shipping costs and rental order minimums, too. Remember: Rondinelli Tuxedo is the most affordable tuxedo wholesaler in the country.
#4: Learn How to Measure
Measuring correctly and understanding menswear measurements is critical to your wholesale business success. We’ll stand by this statement: Anyone can learn how to measure. But it will take a fair bit of practice if you’re not familiar with clothing measurements and taking measurements for others. Luckily, however, there are many online resources and helpful guides to teach anyone how to measure appropriately. Consult your wholesale provider for some resources they can provide for your business. Some wholesalers even provide try-on coats and pants for their wholesale accounts.
#5: Advertise to Your Customers
Last but certainly not least, tell your customers about this added service! Advertising that you’re a wholesale tuxedo and suit provider is essential to your continued success in adding this service. We especially recommend connecting with your customers via social media advertising. Also, we’ve found it extremely valuable to cultivate connections with other professionals in the wedding industry. Couples are constantly asking photographers, venues, and wedding planners for other vendor recommendations, one of which you could be (*free advertising)!
