Typically, units wholesale for between $1.50 and $2, and the suggested retail prices range from about $3 to $5 a unit.

Special Features: Shipments of stock items are made within 24 to 48 hours. The company offers custom orders. Customers can pick a design and text of their favorite city, destination or other theme, and the sticker will be designed, manufactured and shipped in as little as a week. Steve Burzynski, the company's owner, began Sticker Shoppe with stickers relating to the 2004 elections. Now, just 22 years old, Burzynski has expanded into an exhaustive range of messages.

Management Says: "We can get anything a customer wants. When someone calls and asks, Can you get me this? Normally, the answer is yes. Because the minimum order is low and can include anything, retailers don't need to buy a deep number of any one item. They can display a full assortment with just a small investment." -Steve Burzynski, owner.
