Overview
Demarini baseball bats are a strong force in the aluminum baseball bat market. The company was purchased by the powerful Wilson Sporting Goods Company in the year 2000, and together they have elbowed their way in as the third major player in a market formerly dominated by Louisville Slugger and Easton Sports. Knowing the strong demand for these bats, anyone looking to go into the bat business would be wise to consider selling Demarini.

Step 1
Make a trip to your state's department of taxation and revenue. Request to have a tax ID number issued to you. This number will serve both to identify you as a taxpayer with the state and also allow your business to buy products that are for resale without having to pay any sales tax on the items. In addition to this, the number will be required as part of the documentation you submit when applying to open an account with Demarini.

Step 2
Get a business license for your company by visiting the department that issues them in your city. You will need to take along your state tax ID number from Step 1 above. This is another document that you may be asked for by Demarini.
-
Step 3
Go online and apply for a federal tax ID number. This is referred to as an employer identification number by the IRS. Similarly to the state tax ID number, this will be what the IRS uses to identify your business as a federal taxpayer and is yet another item to use when setting up wholesale accounts. The website is listed below in the Resources section.

Step 4
Contact Demarini and ask to speak to the new accounts department. Have all of the above documentation you have gathered ready, as well as your credit references.You will need to submit them via fax or mail.

Step 5
Be prepared to meet with a sales representative. You will be put in contact with the Wilson/Demarini sales rep for your area, and in most cases he will want to schedule a time when he can meet with you and see your business. Take this last part of the process seriously, as the sales rep has the most influence over whether or not Demarini decides to allow you to open an account and buy their baseball bats direct.
