There are some important questions to ask of all the providers you are considering. To begin, ask each company what the amount of their product is typically sold per seller. In addition, you will want to know the average amount is spent per buyer. You are looking for the highest average.

This will keep groups and schools from competing with each other for customer sales. It also ensure your group makes a good profit.
Be sure that you know the exact percentage of all sales your group or school will make. Find out when order payments are due. Many suppliers require full payment at the time of ordering. What this means is each seller is to collect the price in full at the time of the customer order. Also, find out if the orders are hand packed and checked for accuracy before they ship.
