Drop Shipping - Is it For You?
Drop
shippers provide a vital service for aspiring and veteran gift basket
designers and retail boutiques. That's why drop shipping services is
offered by more than 20 firms that fill a void in the U.S. and worldwide.
The term "drop ship" refers to
a third party that is contracted by a retailer to create and deliver/ship
gift baskets, fruit baskets, or other gift-related packages to the
retailer's customer. The third party fulfills the order, and the retailer
receives a percentage of the good's retail price.
There are many reasons why
gift basket retailers work with drop shippers, including:
| State
laws that prohibit a home-based retailer from selling food-related
gift baskets. |
|
Availability of general merchandise and other product categories
that a retailer does not readily keep on hand (fruit, flowers,
alcohol, cookies, etc.). |
| Order
overflow during the holidays and other high-volume seasons. |
What's more important is that
they're a source of revenue. You place the order, they ship or deliver, and
you receive a percentage of the sale. That's it. And many drop shippers will
place your name on the box.
No extra inventory to purchase, no driving to UPS at the last minute.
If this describes the
business you envision, then the Drop Ship Vendors report is for you.
Here a sample of the report's introduction:

Drop shipping vendors fill an
essential niche in the gift industry.
The drop ship process begins when a
retailer contacts a wholesale supplier to order gifts, gourmet baskets, fruit,
flowers, or customized products to ship to the retailer's client(s) on behalf of
the retailer who does not normally stock such items.
The drop ship program option,
also known as fulfillment services,
has become a viable alternative for a number of reasons.
1. Gift basket designers who
are starting a business don't always have enough space in their home
offices or retail shops to house numerous designs. Drop shippers maintain an
adequate supply of inventory to create gift baskets at their facility
for future orders.
2. Laws in some states,
whether considered antiquated or placed on the books to protect the
public, prohibit designers without storefront locations from selling
gourmet products and alcoholic beverages. These retailers can still
sell gift baskets to their clients through drop ship programs.
3. Designers who are unable
to keep pace with large quantity orders from corporate clients or orders
placed during the holidays turn to drop shippers to supplement
short-term demands. |
