No, there is no fee to open an account, nor any annual membership fees.

 

As a Studio Wholesale Program member, you receive a 20% to 40% discount on regular retail prices on your purchases.

Select products are excluded from the standard year-round discount, and are instead applicable for promotional sales. Clearance items are not applicable for further discounts.

How much do I pay, and what should I charge to my dancers?

Each product will have two prices listed. The higher price is the MSRP which is the full retail price. The lower price is the SWP member's price; this is what you pay. You can choose to charge your dancers the MSRP, or another price depending on how much profit you prefer to make.

 

Are there any sales or extra discounts?

Yes! We offer monthly coupon savings as well as spot promotions throughout the year. You can check for any sales and additional discounts on the Current Promotions page.

Annually in June we run a Fall Order promo. This means that if you place an order in June during the promotional window, you receive extra discounts, and the order is delivered to you in August just in time for the new season. As an extra perk you pay for the order in installments rather than one lump sum.

 

What taxes will I be charged on my purchases?

You will be charged the sales tax of the province/territory that your business is located in.

Inspirations' and The Studio Wholesale Program has opted to charge full taxes on all our products regardless of the sizing for adult or children. We did this as per the advise of our accountant as we have opted to categorize all our products as 'costumes' which requires full taxes, even if intended for children.

As a business purchasing product you can claim input tax credits for any tax paid to Inspirations for the product, as you are reselling the product to your students. You are welcome to charge tax differently when reselling to your clients if you prefer, and we suggest consulting your accountant with making this decision.

 

Products & Sizing

Are all of the shoes sized the same?

Unfortunately no, there is variance in sizing among all of the shoes. You can reference the sizing guide that is listed on each product page to help determine which size you need.

How do I size my dancers?
