Because glow sticks have such a short life, they are inexpensive. While some glow sticks can last up to several days, depending on the amount of chemicals used in the stick and the temperature of the stick (a frozen stick can last for days), it is more common for a glow stick to burn out within a couple of hours. Thus, it is easy to find inexpensive glow sticks - especially online.

Wholesale glow sticks can be found at numerous websites and in many sizes and colors. By purchasing several hundred glow sticks at once, the purchaser can save a considerable amount of money. For example, individually, one website sells 22-inch glow stick necklaces at 95 cents each. In quantities of 200 or more, however, that price is reduced to 50 cents each.

Even in smaller quantities, glow sticks can be found very cheap online, for as little as three cents each. To purchase glow sticks in large or small quantities, try an online website that specializes in glow sticks or similar novelty items.

Purchasing wholesale glow sticks online can be a great fundraising tool. They can be sold at carnivals, parades, concerts, parties, bars, dance clubs, or any other place where a colorful light would add to the atmosphere.

Whether purchasing wholesale glow sticks for resale or for personal use, the Internet is a great place to find cheap glow sticks in a wide assortment of sizes and colors.
