Goods that are in bulk quantity are re assembled or re packed by the wholesaler into smaller lots and according to the grades before they are distributed to retailers. This is because the wholesaler gets the merchandise in large quantities from the manufacturers and this amount cannot be sold in the same condition to the retailers who need only a small quantity of the stuff.
The wholesaler needs ware houses to store their merchandise as they have to buy the goods in bulk from the manufacturers and then distribute it as and when required to retailers in smaller quantities. These goods are sometimes exported to other countries by the wholesaler who has the dealership of these items and the licenses to sell them to other countries. All commodities and consumables have whole sale dealers to market and resell the products after getting them directly from the manufacturers. The manufacturers do not entertain buyers who require small quantities and prefer to sell their products to wholesalers in bulk, as they take the responsibility of finding a market for these goods.

Niche
“Niche” is an area of focus in any field. The niche area is the main area of concentration. Niche marketing is the marketing of a certain product which is given the prime importance. Concentration on any one focal point is there in any line of work and if the subject specializes in it and creates a very singular space for himself, then he would have created this slot for himself as this specialization would be his main forte. Carving a groove in an area where there are several others who function in the same subject but to create a special name for ones self is to create a niche area.
This can also refer to spaces and nooks and corners in homes, gardens, shopping arcades and cozy corners which could be a pocket in the midst of many other things and yet stand out from the rest. Keeping a low profile yet being noticed because of the exceptional qualities that are seen in any product, place or person is what makes them so special and puts them in a niche space which is the focal point of the zone they are in.
