View all articles by William KingThe number of people who
are making a living out of reseller business is increasing significantly these
days. There is a sharp increase in the number of people who are now working on an
online auction forums such as eBay. It is thus important that in such a
business, you have a wholesaler who is reliable and is professional. It is
important that the consumers get their goods on time and it is also important
that your wholesalers deliver the best quality merchandise.
Most of the resellers
rely on the internet to find them the wholesalers. Online drop ship wholesalers
understand the working method on the internet and thus are a better choice.
Here we have for you 5 tips by which you can find your ideal wholesaler
online.
- Short listing.
Do
a simple search of your product with the words drop shipping, drop ship
wholesale, wholesale distributors etc, the idea is to use the term wholesaler
or dropshipper as prefix or suffix to the product that you want to sell. For
example if you are planning to deal in hand phone accessories, then you can
type in “hand phone accessories wholesaler” or “hand phone accessories
distributor”. This should give you a list of wholesalers. But this not all that
you have to do, you should do a simple search of the words wholesalers and drop
shippers and read the posts on forums, start checking out the wholesalers who
are frequently mentioned.
- Check out eBay.
Most
probably you will find that someone is already selling the items that you are
about to sell you can spend some money and order the product from your
competitor. This way you can easily trace the manufacturer and make contacts
with him.
- Wholesale directory.
You
can find online directories that have done a detailed research on drop ship
wholesale retailers. They do their research, conduct interviews and also attend
trade shows to search for the potential wholesale dropshippers who can be
included in their directories. The advantage that you can avail out of these
directories is that you can find out the lowest whole sale process without
paying anything extra such as middlemen charges. It is also important that you
should realize that not all wholesales are on the net, there are also many
others who are not on the list but could prove to be a good wholesaler for your
business.
- Classified ad sites.
You can also search the classified ad sites such as the Craig list and the US Free ads. These are the places where you will find sellers that are selling products. All you need to do is to find a seller who is selling a product similar to the one that you are selling. Incase the seller is selling the product at a cheaper price then there are chances that he has a wholesaler who quotes a lower price. You can order the same product to get hold of the address and the contact number of the dropshipper. You do not always get the number and address of the dropshipper, but most of the dropshippers do include it in as prevention in case the goods are lost in transit.
