If you’re planning on buying in store, choose a few different puppets and marionettes wholesale stores to start with and call each to get contact information, hours, location, selection, custom products, and price ranges. Then visit each store to view and inspect quality, whether you want finger puppets, shadow puppets, replacement strings, gloves, puppetry books, theatre stages, patterns, eyes, puppet body, or toys for a child. Consider which type of material you want as well. Puppets can be made out of a variety of materials, including wood, fabric, felt, sock, paper, and plush. Chat with the staff to see if they are courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. Check out the cleanliness of the wholesale warehouse as well. Inquire if there are any sales, bulk discounts, or deals going on that you could take advantage of. If buying online, do your research beforehand, comparing brands and price. Get all shipping and delivery information up front before purchasing, as well as the return policy and any bulk discounts. Browse the product selection, which can include specialty finger puppets, strings, wooden marionettes, hand puppetry books, or gloves. Ask if the wholesaler makes custom puppets for your specific needs. Whatever you need, make sure the wholesale company you buy from has a good reputation in the puppets and marionettes business, offering quality products at a fair price. Before choosing a wholesaler to buy from, keep in mind the hours, location, product selection, web presence, bulk discounts, product quality, price, and selection, such as wooden Christian puppets, animal puppets for ventriloquist use, plush puppets for kids, custom accessories, stop motion puppets, or theatre show stages.
