If you have been running your e-commerce store for some time, you will agree how much help a good dropshipper list can do to your business. You do have many choices in front of you, but it is a big challenge to filter out the scammers and dig out the real gold.

We all expect to have a list that is informative and constantly updated. Further, the list should entail not just the general reference to the wholesale market, but also specific information towards different niche markets.

You need to have access to updated information and great support in order to run a successful online business. You may start your search from the internet, and there you will always be able to find the best idea on how to get your online business to the level you want and run it with the least efforts possible.

A list may be categorized in different niches, such as electronics wholesalers, fashion accessories wholesalers, perfume wholesalers, office supplies wholesalers and auto parts wholesalers. In case you have not yet decided on your niche, you can also go for a list targeting the regions where your customers are based.

Many list services go beyond just providing dropshipper list. In addition, they provide comprehensive wholesale/dropshipping tips and guides so that you may not need to turn to a second place for help. What a list can help you is to cut down retail prices, get access to the quality dropshippers, and save enormous time by not having to screen top information from the rest.

If you run on a stringent budget, you may feel like to start with a free list. However, you need to understand that free lists often contain just the basic information, and you will need to work on your part to verify the information provided just in case it get out-dated.

Due to the vast number of competitions, many paid list services only charge you a very reasonable price. And, for that small investment, you have access to newsletters, tips, and comprehensive resources. In case a service offers both free and paid options, the paid members usually get more listing so that they have a higher chance of finding a good partner.

Dropshipping Business - The Pros Anc Cons

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
by Nikki Davila

In the drop shipping business model, the drop shippers take care of commodity storage and shipment on behalf of the sellers while the sellers should pay him for his service.

This is an ideal method to e-commerce sellers who do not want to deal with storage damages etc. in a business. Identifying your potential buyers is the first thing you would want to do if you want to get in to dropship business.

Email marketing is a good strategy that can be employed to market dropship business. SEO also known as search engine optimization, blogging and starting off a website with pictures and catchy descriptions are also alternative ways for marketing your dropship business. While reliable partnerships with suppliers and wholesalers will be essential to dropship business, you will need to make contacts with reputable companies in the field.

As mentioned above, the advantages of a dropship business are obvious. First, you do not have to shoulder the risk of unsold inventory. Second, you do not need to hold the responsibility for damage to the goods during storage or shipment.

Dropshipping business is also different from affiliate marketing in that the dropshippers get involved in almost the whole transaction process. Instead of receiving a commission for each sale, the dropshippers are usually left with bigger profits because they almost always deal with bulk products.

There are also disadvantages to this business model, too. The biggest headache for the sellers and dropshippers is to deal with the numerous scams out there. For the sellers, it is a bit of challenge to identify the reliable dropshippers. At the same time, the dropshippers need to work out how to prove themselves to be the genuine ones so that they can win business.

It is best to work out an agreement between you and the dropshippers in advance, to prevent any problems in the future. If you have buyers from outside the US, make sure that the dropshippers would ship the goods to different countries around the globe.

Wholesale FAQ: All About Reselling Items

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
by Wayne Erickson

I’ve got items to resell, so how do I find customers?

It is best to have a hierarchy of categories on your site for items you are selling. For example, if you are selling soap, you may have a sub-category named “soap.” However, in order for people to find that item, you may need to also list the same item in a more general category such as “cosmetics” or “skin care.” Think how you can help people find items in your online store.

Should I charge a certain percentage above my wholesale price for items I resell?

It may depend on the price you paid for the item. A common mistake is to resell an item for a very small amount over their cost. If you make a habit of this practice, your business is likely to fail. Remember, you’re in this to profit. There are many administrative costs involved in sales, and you’ll set yourself up for failure if you do not have a sizable profit.

For smaller purchases between a few cents and $20, plan on at least doubling the price. For purchase costs above $20, you should consider selling at least %40 above. For higher ticket items above $100, anywhere from $20 to 40% is reasonable.

If your price cannot be increased within those ranges for a sizable profit, you should consider re-negotiating the price with the wholesaler. Another option is to ask the wholesaler if they will consider drop-shipping for the same or similar price, thus keeping your overhead costs down.

Where do I look for photos and descriptions of wholesale items I want to sell?

Your wholesale can usually provide you with images. However, they will not necessarily be included, and you may need to request them. Call the support phone number or use the support email. Most of all, get to know your sales/support person. You will often find that you are able to acquire images and other perks due to your relationship. If you belong to an online wholesale membership, they are usually included in an online catalog. When you request images, your wholesale supplier will usually send you a CD containing images for your use.
