Return To Wholesale Article Archive   Drop Ship Your Cares Away By Tim Prescott --Selling from a store, or physical location-- Most any product works this way. The key here is buying what people want. The only way I sell this way is 'Warehouse Clearance' sales and running ads in the paper. Size or object doesnt matter here because most of your business is going to be local. The secret is to always appear to be overloaded with stuff you just need to sell. People love to think they are 'taking advantage' so to speak of your need to move merchandise quickly! Buying the wholesale/closeouts loads works well for this condition. Good sellers for me have been: Electronics Small Appliances Housewares Hardware --Selling in auctions or from web site-- New merchandise works best but used does well if it is popular or high ticket in price. Examples are collectibles, antique, hard to get items. Make sure they are small and easy to package and ship! Take it from me, when your item can be boxed up and shipped via UPS or postal with no hassle, your profit will be much higher. Large items are much harder to package properly and higher to ship. Sometimes larger items have to be shipped via other carriers! Of course if you can drop ship your product, you have won the game! The trick is to play around with a product you think may sell. When drop shipping, you have these criteria in your favor: --The item is brand new --You dont buy it until youve already sold it(make sure it is in good supply from your drop shipper.) --You dont mess with shipping and handling( I always hated that part.) Good drop shipping items are most anything that will sell (ofcourse!) but you need to make sure you have a nice profit margin built in on an item. Most all drop shippers will charge you a service fee for drop shipping an item but is always cheaper than you handling it yourself! Brand name items are best but sometimes hard to acquire. With a little research you can find someone to drop ship brand name products. About the Author: Tim Prescott has been dealing with the wholesale, closeouts, drop-ship business since 1997.
