​Why buy in bulk?

When you own a small business it's essential to be able to buy your supplies at the best prices possible. At Wares of Knutsford we have a large number of customers who run their own small retail businesses, artisan businesses or specialist producer brands.

With this need in mind we have always sought to stock up on bulk glass jars, bulk glass bottles and other essentials. And now that we have bigger premises for our warehousing we are stocking up even more for our customers, recognising that there have been huge price hikes in glass jars, bottles, lids and caps since Christmas. Unfortunately it looks as though prices will continue to rise at least for the foreseeable future. Already the rise in gas and electricity base prices along with fuel costs, has meant that manufacturing firms are experiencing rises in their own production costs; costs that they need to pass on.

However despite these ongoing challenges, at Wares of Knutsford, we will continue to do everything we can to offer the best quality products at the best possible prices.

The advantages of buying in bulk

There are various benefits that small businesses and producers can enjoy when they pick the right supplier of bulk glass jars and bulk glass bottles. If you're serious about building a competitive business - even a small kitchen table business - it's important to get the best prices for quality raw materials, so you can maintain a healthy margin.

Cost savings
Perhaps the biggest advantage to buying bulk glass jars and bottles is that you save significant money on your business essentials. Many of our customers have small businesses that require glassware for:

- Making and selling jams, chutneys, sauces, preserves, confectionery, homemade cookie mixes and other items
- Creating bespoke bath salts for sale
- Making wedding favours or special event favours to meet specific orders
- To buy glassware for hosting events.

A competitive advantage
When you're looking to gain a competitive advantage in your niche market, it is far easier to do so if you can be price competitive, especially in today's challenging economic world. By buying in bulk you get to enjoy the lowest unit price and preserve your margins. You can either offer price savings to your customers or enjoy a healthy margin that allows you to absorb your own manufacturing cost rises.

Business flexibility
When you are able to procure your business materials in bulk you have the ability to rapidly fulfil larger orders with ease - saving you time and meaning you can take on more jobs at short notice. This can give you the chance to win new business.

Locked in costs
Choose a tried and tested supplier such as Wares of Knutsford and you have a reliable service that benefits your business. You also get to lock in prices when you buy in bulk. This is very important at a time when inflation is running high and costs are rocketing across business inputs and expenses. Buy your glassware now in bulk and you will at least have secured that unit cost for the foreseeable future.

Lower shipping
Another advantage of bulk buying is that you will pay less for your shipping when you submit a large order. This works out to be far more cost-effective than regularly buying smaller orders where the delivery charge is comparatively higher for the unit cost.

Easier stock management
It's far easier to manage your stock levels when you buy in bulk. You will also always have enough stock to hand to fulfil your own orders and no longer have to worry about being left short if supplies are interrupted by manufacturers for any reason. In a time of real business uncertainty, it's good to have as much organised as possible!
