Hi, I was wondering if anyone could offer guidance as to the best way to start a business that offers customized giftware & promotional items, framed artwork, and business products. How do you find companies or manufacturers to make the customized gifts/products that you have designed? Can you recommend any books or place on getting started in the giftware and promotional products industry?
If you're looking for manufacturers probably the best choice in the beginning is to look into your local business directory.

Ebay is a good place to start. Not so much for stock aquisition but as a mirror site to provide traffic and identity
I am often surprised at the number of posts there are from people who want to start a business without knowing the first thing about the field they intend to go into. How can you start a business without even knowing where to find your products?
I totally agree with your words, i have been in internet business for some years now and i relly had difficulties during my earlier days just because i started doing a thing of which i knew nothing. Anyways i recommend to consult any experienced person in this field, and also see for any legal requirements these will give u trouble at some later stage if you neglect them.
If you're looking for wholesalers for drop shipping, don't go to the search engines ever! All you will find there are Middlemen, who are posing as the actual wholesaler but are actually selling to you. Legitimate wholesalers don't advertise on the Internet because they don't need to. Take a look at one of my most recent videos for more info about it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yXRbaJwr4UY
