Drop Shipping Your Way to Increased Profits
Drop shipping, for those who are unfamiliar with it, is a
system whereby you promote the products of a particular
manufacturer, take orders directly, and the manufacturer/source
handles all the inventory and fulfillment functions for you.
In a nutshell, here is the drop-ship system:
==>You generate and accept the order.
==>You take your profits out of the sale price.
==>You forward the order and the wholesale cost to the drop
shipper.
==>The source factory ships directly to your customer.
The benefits of this arrangement are probably obvious:
* No inventory cost to you.
* Substantially higher profits to you over what most regular
affiliate programs allow.
* The ability to quickly set-up inexpensive, highly targeted,
niche or mini-sites to test and promote diverse products.
This process has been around for years and has been
responsible for many highly successful mail order dealer
relationships in the past. Many of the top catalogers and other
direct response marketers, have been using this system to
increase profits for decades. If you have ever ordered a high
priced item from a mail order catalog and been told that the
product was being shipped from the factory... then you have
experienced drop shipping first hand.
Drop shipping is, I believe, a virgin un-tapped storehouse of
profits for todays internet marketer.
On-line directories exist [http://www.dropshipprofits.com]
which reveal essential contact information for drop shippers of
over 2,000,000 products and 4,000 brands. Most legitimate drop
ship sources will require that you have a state tax reseller
number in order to approve you to sell their products and give
you the wholesale pricing you are looking for.
Beware of any drop ship source which requires you to pay a fee
in order to become a drop-ship dealer... or requires a
membership. These are generally organizations which make their
money selling "drop ship licenses"... and are, for the most part,
scams. Legitimate drop shippers and factory sources never charge
you any fees other than the actual wholesale cost & shipping
costs of the products you sell.
Another caveat... always make sure that you have a written
agreement with the source factory that you own the customer! The
factory or drop ship source should agree in writing not to
solicit your customers in any form. This is very important to
you. Your customer list is one of your most important assets. If
the factory you are dealing with balks at this request... use
another source who will agree.
Almost every conceivable type of product is available from a
drop shipper willing to ship products in single units under your
companies name. Pick your interest area... electronics, consumer
products, agricultural & industrial products, office
equipment & supplies, hobby gear, recreational / sporting
goods, clothing, furniture, etc. The list of available products
from drop shippers is almost endless.
The products actual source is invisible to the consumer. The
seller (you) is able to build a database of customers that he/she
owns and controls (by agreement with the manufacturer) and has
all the direct marketing advantages that accompany that
arrangement... while eliminating the need for maintaining
expensive inventory.
This arrangement offers maximum flexibility and cost savings
for the seller. If a product does not sell well online you can
pull the advertising (web page or mini-site) instantly with very
little cost to you outside of the actual time it took to build
and test the web marketing effort. Or, since this type of
page/mini-site is so inexpensive to maintain and host... you can
simply leave the pages online and take whatever orders trickle
through... while you move on to the testing and promotion of new
drop ship products. A quick marketing test can be done on eBay or
other auction site to determine if the product sells... and at
what price.
The manufacturer benefits from this relationship by gaining a
legion of active marketers promoting their products... at little
or no cost (other than those small costs involved with supporting
the marketer with online marketing materials like product images,
sales materials, etc).
As a marketer you are looking for several key components in
developing the drop-ship relationship with a source factory or
distributor:
** High Quality Products
** Blanket Product Liability Insurance (if applicable)
** A clear guarantee and return policy
** High Quality Marketing Materials ... product images (gifs,
jpegs, etc.), selling copy, other suitable web graphics, etc.
** A Customer Service Department that will work with you to
develop the best selling situation for you.
If you are a manufacturer seeking to expand distribution (or
an inventor with a new product ) you will find the willingness to
drop ship in single units will give you a strong competitive edge
while you carve out increased market share at little cost.
If you are an online marketer interested in offering high
profit products to your niche market (your website visitors)
without incurring high front-end development or inventory
costs... then drop shipping is for you.
Internet marketers are uniquely positioned to take profitable
advantage of the drop ship arrangement and should give this
system a serious look.
