Dropshipping

Dropshipping is the sale of goods online from a manufacturer or supplier with whom you have an agreement.

Working with a dropshipping system is a regular distribution activity that allows you not to invest your own money in purchasing goods, and to receive a percentage of sales that you set yourself.

We will explain the main nuances of this activity, which will be interesting for those who want to get acquainted with dropshipping.

How to start working with the dropshipping system.

To begin with, it is important to find a company that you trust and can cooperate with on a partnership basis.

This can be either a manufacturer located in your region or a company on the Internet that has a dropshipping system.

When choosing a supplier, you need to assess how competitive the product will be on the Internet, taking into account your markup, which is why it is so important to receive the product at a discount from the manufacturer’s list price.

The next step is to obtain photos and descriptions of the products.

A person making a purchase online can assess the quality of the product only by the photo and description, so these characteristics play an important role in the purchasing process.

Choosing a method of selling goods:

1. Classifieds sites.

You can quickly find clients on well-known bulletin boards.

One downside is that these services require a monthly payment for placing products.

Of course, if you use advertising skillfully, you can increase your turnover.

2. Social networks.

Social networks offer great opportunities for developing your own merchandise trading business. Here you can use both free SMM methods (publishing products in various groups and developing your own page) and paid ones (targeted advertising and promotional posts in groups).

3. Marketplace.

By purchasing a paid service package, you will receive a full-fledged online store and customers who will find your products in the general catalog of the marketplace.

This allows you to get started with minimal effort. The main thing is to assess whether you will have a higher return on your annual costs for paying for a paid package.

4. Online store.

By creating your own online store, you will get a platform for selling goods online.

Of course, when you have an online store, you will again need to attract visitors to it.

This can be done through SEO optimization, as well as by ordering Google contextual advertising.

Receiving payment and sending goods.

In the case of prepayment from the buyer, you transfer the funds to your supplier yourself.

If the buyer makes payment after receiving the product, then the supplier will send you a markup from the sale of the product.

Dropshipping involves the supplier taking on all the tasks of packaging and shipping the goods, who arranges everything on your behalf, indicating the name of your online store and your phone number.

If the product warehouse is located near you, you can ship the goods yourself.
