Dropshipping

• Dropshipping is a method of fulfilment whereby a retailer does not rely on keeping stock of the items that they sell. In a drop ship model, when a store sells a product it then purchases the item from a third party who ship it directly to their customer. As a result, the seller doesn’t have to handle the product directly.
• Our private label dropship service is ideal for any business that does not want to commit to holding stock or fulfilling orders. It is also a great way to quickly expand stock ranges or test new markets without investing significant amounts of capital – keeping your cashflow healthy!
• How It Works
• To take advantage of our dropshipping service you just need to follow 5 easy steps:
• Step 1
• Advertise your own brand private label products at a price you control. Put them on your website, eBay, Amazon, Facebook, on flyers in your shop or in your email newsletter – whichever channels suit your business model.
• Step 2
• When your customers place orders take their payment. This is now your working capital / your profits.

• Benefits of Dropshipping
• There are many reasons why dropshipping is an attractive option for businesses new and old.

1. Minimal Capital Investment

• This is probably the biggest advantage to dropshipping as you can launch or grow a business without having to investing huge stock capital up front.
• With the dropshipping model, there is no need for you to purchase a product unless you’ve already made a sale and have been paid by your customer. Essentially you get your working capital provided to you up front by your customers – leaving you with very little risk.

2. Easy to get manage

• Running a business is much easier when you don’t have to purchase and distribute physical products. With dropshipping, you don’t have to worry about:
• Managing or paying for a warehouse
• Packing and shipping your orders
• Tracking inventory
• Handling returns and inbound shipments
• Continually ordering products and managing stock level

3. Low overhead

• Without inventory and warehousing costs your overhead expenses are going to be a lot lower. In fact, many successful dropshipping businesses are run as home-based businesses, requiring little more than a laptop and an internet connection.

4. Mobile
