Key Takeaways Drop Shipping[/caption]

What Is Drop shipping?

Drop shipping is defined by Investopedia as “an online business where an intermediary sells products they don’t keep in inventory from a wholesale producer to a third party. The third-party company then ships the product directly to the buyer” and this definition is a great start for talking about drop shipping.The pros to drop shipping include having low overhead costs, there’s no need to buy inventory, it’s REALLY easy to set up, sellers are more flexible with offers as they don’t hold inventory, and it’s really easy to test different products to see what works to help scale the business.The cons to drop shipping include it can be more expensive than retail as the supplier may set price restrictions, the seller doesn’t have much control over quality control as they never interact with the products, helping unsatisfied customers becomes way more difficult as the supplier is now involved, giving tracking to customers becomes more complex as the shipping is being done directly from supplier to customer. The biggest downside is when sellers decide to expand to other suppliers and shippers. This makes things a lot more complex and way harder to manage.[caption id="attachment_8764" align="aligncenter" width="700"]

It doesn’t even require the sellers to EVER see the products!!The seller will set up a website, eCommerce software, and a wholesale supplier to sell the products. Automating everything so most processes are done on autopilot is also very popular while the seller collects their cut as a middleman.The eCommerce software will submit the purchase order that was made to the wholesaler and the supplier will ship the products directly to the customer. Great examples of this are POD, or Print On Demand, services. Companies like TeeSpring/Spring and Printify and TeeSpring.We’ll use a specific example with these services in the next section to show exactly how you can start using drop shipping to start a business or make some money on the side.

The product video reviews are really good to increase trust in your brand while the product video demos will help show customers how the product works. Different product videos are also good at reaching different goals and can be combined to make a complete marketing campaign.With product videos, doing social media marketing will be a total breeze as all the creative assets are already collected. Drop shipping sellers can quickly upload the product videos into Facebook Business to quickly create a social commerce storefront on Facebook and Instagram. Sellers can also quickly advertise on TikTok using the TikTok ads manager to drive more traffic to their online storefront using these product videos as well.These product videos can be A/B tested to find the winners, before switching out the lesser performing ones with new product videos. This means that the product videos are constantly being updated and optimized for the best results.
