Why stock Inventory? Drop Ship easily.

June 5th, 2011

Drop Shipping gives you a huge selection of products to sell without having to maintain the expenses of inventory, and the headaches that come with it.

Question: Why tie up your well needed business capital to buy items in advance that sit on a shelf, which you hope you may be able to sell for a profit? In reality your inventory depreciates daily, takes up space, has to be accounted for, handled, etc.

Answer: For most businesses these days it just doesn’t make sense. There are a few exceptions to this. One of them is if you are selling an impulse product, or something that has to be available immediately for the customer to purchase it (IE. staple products such as milk, bread, eggs).

The other exception is something expensive, that a customer wants to see and touch prior to purchase. I do not know about you, but I am not purchasing my Ferrari on the Internet; just personal choice, I’m sure its been done.

Almost any product in the world is available via Drop Shipping in the market today. The common product flow is you sell the item on your website, auction site, etc. You are paid in advance for the product, and you then ship the product (preferably Blind Ship) from the Drop Ship Wholesaler directly to your customer. You still make the sale , but never have to even touch, more less sit on the inventory. The customer gets the product quickly and professionally, assuming you’ve setup with a reliable drop shipper, and your paid in advance, not spending your hard earned cash to sit on the shelf and collect dust!

The cost of opening a drop shipping company is a small fraction of what it costs to open a retail or distribution company. The risk is also less as you maintain significantly lower overhead. For the home businessman , dropshipping is one of the most cost effective and profitable business models available today.

This does not mean however that anybody can open a business out of there home, with no money and do little work and have a successful business . Drop Shipping is NOT get rich quick, its not make a million dollars on eBay, and its not website created today, profitable tomorrow. It takes hard work, business sense, good customer service skills, and most of all dedication to open any business. Drop Shipping simply allows for people who do not have the financial means to open other types of companies a chance to start small and grow , or too have that secondary income to meet today’s economic challenges .
