Hello Steve..
Well any pointers eh? Well a) Make sure you buy as local as possible! It will 
save you money and you will also be supporting the local hemp maker in your 
area. b) Be prepared to place your orders well in advance of the time you 
expect to have this merchandise on your store shelves! alot of companies 
cannot keep up with the sudden demand for such articles
c) try and educate your customers about hemp especially the younger crowd 
dont let them just buy hemp cuz its made from Cannabis but try and get the 
message across that its also environmentally friendly and very durable 
material.
Whatch out for "Fake" Hemp. lots of chinese fabrics are considered hemp but 
are not in fact made from the Cannabis plant!
Also if you need more information you can call (905) 988-9778!
Mike..
