Lesson 13- What is drop shipping
Drop shipping is a procedure based on a manufacturer, or established vendor who ships products to customers for entrepreneurs alternative (such as you) who manages an online internet based business considered an e-commerce site.
These are two of the main prones., you may have an idea, or model for a physical product that has to be developed, then shipped, and handed to customers. What you would do is contact provided lists of “Private Label Companies” who manufactured products in your industry that also offer “drop shipping” to all your customers. This process saves you the time and hassle from creating your own product from scratch, mailing out packages, deliveries to all your customers. Some even offer marketing assistance to find customers for your brand… affiliate marketing programs are another fit to drive sales to your site.
The second prone to drop shipping is you might decide to sell an established traditional brand, or a private established brand. Lets use Gap Fashion for example you may be attracting customers who buy Gap products in some cases via an affiliate marketing campaign program. Every time someone purchases a Gap product you have listed on your website one of Gap Vendors ships the product to a customer for you, you receive a percentage of the sale for managing an
e-commerce site via E-COMMLINKS.
You may be selling an unknown product like a hair product such as a Hot Iron Curler and your customized site is set up as a ecommerce drop-shipping site to sell to customers who are not familiar with the established Hot Iron Curler Brand. The site will attract visitors by generating leads and may sell on sites like Shopify etc with other plug-ins; other techniques for those who will process the item by adding the product to the cart in the payment section.
The vendor’s will ship the Hot Iron Curler to the customers for you. Most of this transpires on Shopify, and Amazon, others daily used platforms with lots of established traffic and customers.
You establish your e-commerce site and implement it inside an ocean , a small fish in a big pond.
