If
you are thinking of getting starting business, buying products at the
lowest cost possible is always advisable especially when the capital in
hand is not much. There are several options that one can consider like
getting dropshipping,
which means that directly ship the product from the manufacturers to
the customers. Using this method, one can eliminate the one time of the
shipping cost and the place to store the products before shipping to
the customer.
There are a number of dropship suppliers
available online that one can start trading with. Majority of the
dropship suppliers offer online services as well, and some of the
dropship suppliers involve in online auctions
as well. Usually, dropship suppliers will offer their latest products
at online auctions with very cheap price to test the market feedbacks
on their new products. By doing this, the suppliers can reduce the
marketing cost, and at the same time getting larger market share from
the whole world, instead of locally.
However, buying products
using online auctions do have problems as we cannot really see how the
product would look like in real life or sometimes the product might not
be as what we would have expected. Sometimes, we do not know about the
condition of the product especially for auto auction
whereby getting bad automobile will resulted in big losses and most
importantly integrity and time, which bring us to the point where there
is no perfect business model. One just has to start network with
reliable business players especially doing business online.
