Dropshipping InformationWelcome to dropshipping made easy !
Thank you for the interest in our dropshipping service ! Here is some more information about dropshipping and what we as company can mean for your business !
What is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping is a process of selling Products without having to stock any overhead. You would sell the merchandise at a cost you would determine. After the customer pays you for the item, you would pay the supplier their price and send them your customer's details. They dropship the product out to the customer, and the difference between your price and the suppliers price is your profit, all to keep!
How Does Dropshipping Actually Work?
Let's say you purchase an item from a drop shipping site for £20.00. You would sell that item for a price determined by you, let's use £35.00 plus £4.50 shipping for an example. After you collect the payment of £39.50 from the customer and their mailing address, you would forward the £20.00 plus £4.50 shipping to the supplier, and keep the £15.00 as profit, never having to touch the Product, as the supplier ships it out to the customer.
This type of arrangement is extremely beneficial to both yourself, and the supplier. The supplier does not have to open a storefront, or hire sales people to sell their products, as that is the role of the dropshipper.
You, as the dropshipper, have a way to earn some spare money, having no start-up costs, no overhead, no packaging costs or headaches, and can create an extremely useful relationship with the supplier.
How are profits increased via Dropshipping?
The profit potential of dropship product fulfillment is unlimited. This makes an exact earning potential difficult to judge. However, advertising, sample product displays, and attractive prices greatly improve the success rate of a dropship supplier relationship
Benefits of Dropshipping
-You receive payment up front from the customer, before having to pay for stock, and without ever having to pack or post items yourself.
-No minimum order quantity
-Greater flexibility . You can sell lots of different products or develop a specific line, promote just a few products or stock thousands.
-Best of all, once you have a good product, it could be a regular best seller for life, the closest thing to an automatic business model you're ever likely to find. Once up and running, all you do is phone, fax or email orders to suppliers, pay them, look for more items to sell.
-Your customers will never know you are using a dropshipper. As far as customers know you are a large company with all the benefits of reliability and credibility often denied the sole trader working from home.
-No chance of unsold stock tying up capital and storage space. If a product is discontinued, goes out of fashion, or attracts fierce competition, you can drop the item and move on to new lines.
All you have to do is concentrate on sales and marketing - and banking your money!
