What is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping is an innovative and dynamic e-commerce fulfilment process that allows sellers and vendors to sell and distribute products online without physically storing inventories internally, using third-party services to facilitate transactions Allowing ambitious and future-focused e-commerce and retailers to launch or expand their business, whilst minimising initial investment costs and reducing risk of financial factors, dropshipping offers UK enterprises increased flexibility, mobility and scalability. By focussing on marketing efforts and sales processes, without directly managing inventory and overheads vastly reduced, e-commerce sellers can work alongside providers such as Pound Wholesale to increase the volume of sales and customer reach to establish a reputation in your retail space.
Dropshipping allows businesses to operate flexibly and remotely, allowing individuals to work freely or from home to seek new product lines and facilitate customer-demand from a location that suits you.
How Does Dropshipping Work? Step-by-step
- Customer Places Order: Regardless of where your online-store is, whether it’s a website, eBay & Amazon store or online marketplace platform, customers will place an order for your product, paying the retail price determined by the vendor.
- Place Your Order with Pound Wholesale: With your order confirmed with your client or customer, your business can place an order with Pound Wholesale, at our superior wholesale price.
- We Ship To Your Customer: Pound Wholesale takes over from there – you provide the shipping address and send items directly to your customer’s doorstep. If required, we can include your packing slip with your branding, maintaining the illusion that the customer received the stock from your inventory.
- The Profit Is Yours: The difference in monetary value between what your customer paid you, and what you paid us is your profit. Without handling the product or managing logistics, the transaction is completed.
How To Start A Dropshipping Business?
Like any retail store or service, Dropshippers often have a niche. The most successful dropshippers will discover a sustainable and successful venture by identifying a market gap that customers are searching for with a demand for products, stock and repeated orders.
Using tools such as Google Trends, Amazon’s Best Sellers, Pound Wholesale’s Best Sellers or other product research apps in the dropshipping space can help businesses identify popular products or emerging trends, with a focus on healthy profit margins. It’s highly recommended to conduct thorough competitor research to study product offerings, prices and marketing methods to evolve your own comprehensive business strategy, whilst ensuring that industry or product range isn’t overcrowded.
Dropshipping services and online stores can utilise an array of e-commerce platforms, including Shopify, WooCommerce (WordPress) or online marketplaces like eBay and Amazon.
With a clear navigation, compelling product descriptions and online marketing strategy, your business can acquire customers and use analysis and optimisation tools to track and improve performance.
Which Items are Most Popular for Dropshipping?
Like normal retailers, dropshippers specialise in a broad product range, but it’s crucial to identify items with healthy product margins that are logistically straightforward to process and deliver. Product trends shift quickly, so the most successful dropshippers will keep abreast of trending items and in-demand products to facilitate transactions between suppliers and customers.
Pound Wholesale provide a live and dynamic category-listing page of its best-sellers, that are often determined by sales to e-commerce and marketplace traders.
