We sell fabric products. It seems that fabric products are viewed quite different from electronics, computers, cars, etc. I have not been able to find much information on marketing and selling fabric related products. I'd like to know how to sell them & how to find customers for our products.

For starters I suggest you look for websites in your market sector. Not only your competition but the trade related sites, portals, and the like. Try doing Google searches using

fabricnamehere forum
fabricnamehere journal
fabricnamehere market

Keep trying different modifiers at the end and sooner or later I suspect you'll locate what you seek.

you should also look at marketing the qualities of the product that make it unique or desirable rather than simply the fabric itself.
for example some customers prefer or require natural fibers.
or perhaps the production methods are more economically or environmentally friendly than other alternatives.

There are related hobbies like quilting which have extensive networks of organisations and individuals with relevant sites as well as some major trade shows.

We're not going to discuss specifics. Thanks.
