Honestly, I am not trying to make you feel stupid by having to put this up, but I have been getting e-mail asking me these questions:
What is a dropshipping company?
It is a wholesale company that supplies merchants with products to sell, often in bulk, but sometimes by single item orders. They ship the orders you produce directly to your customer after you have processed the payment and sent them the price for the item plus shipping fees.
"Do I have to write to these companies for more information?"
YES, if there is only an address listed, you must write to them for more information!
"Can't you tell me or send me a link?"
There are a few dozen companies listed below with different practices and policies. I list them for your information only as I do not have the time and resources to keep up with the day to day operations of all these companies.
You are the one who presumably wants to have a relationship with a dropshipping company, therefore YOU must do the work. They do not pay to be listed and I have no incentive to promote them any further than posting their listing here.
There are only a few listed below that have an actual web site, everything else must be done by mail. All businesses can be checked out for credibility by going to the Better Business Bureau and doing a basic search.
"How do I write a letter to ask for more information?"
This section is in conjunction with the rest of the series of running a business. If you will, please read from the beginning to know if you really want to start a business, developing a buiness plan, and how to sell online.
Are you a drop shipping company and want to be listed here? Contact Me with your name, business name, address and type of products you sell to the e-mail address. Mention that you would like to be listed on the "Dropship Directory" page otherwise your information may be construed as spam by the filters.
Choosing your market niche
By Mikal E. Belicove: Director, Community & Education - Doba
If you and I were to decide to go into business together, and we chose to open up a brick and mortar store on Main Street, there's no way we'd sign an 18-month lease, order display furnishings, install carpet, hook up a phone line, and hire employees without first knowing what we're going to sell. Yet, online retailers--or, more accurately, casual sellers who want to become successful online retailers--do it every day.
Without giving much thought to a company name, product line, or business or marketing plan, new online sellers sign up for services like Doba, work with a third-party vendor to build a webstore, and only then get around to asking, "Hey, what should I sell?" They head to eBay, see what is selling, and then decide to sell the same products--usually consumer electronics--for slightly less than the competition. They end up being disappointed, mainly because their profit margins are so low.
Entrepreneurial Marketing: Getting Noticed on eBay and Beyond
by Stuart Lisonbee, Doba Education Specialist
Search for a product on eBay or any number of other online marketplaces, and you're likely to find yourself inundated with product listings that look pretty much the same. All things being equal, you're going to click the item offering the lowest price, right? Or maybe you weigh price and trustworthiness, and you order the product from the big-name retailer that offers the lowest price. After all, when prices are comparable, why would you risk ordering from an unknown merchant?
It's tough to admit, but that's pretty much how online shoppers arrive at their purchase decisions. To encourage shoppers to break that routine, give them a reason to buy from you. Reach out to them to attract their business, brand yourself as the product expert, and prove to customers that you're as reputable as the Amazon's and Wal-Mart's of the world. This article shows you how to take an entrepreneurial approach to marketing to pursue business rather than waiting for it to come to you.
Giving yourself a corporate makeover
People prefer to buy products from a company rather than from an individual, so the more you can make yourself look like a legitimate business, the better chance you have of attracting new customers. To give you a more professional look and feel...
