Selecting a drop ship directory is one of the most important steps for your business
. The drop ship model has become so popular that one can actually refer to a dropshippers directory to find a trustworthy drop shipping partner. Unfortunately, with almost all eBay wholesalers, rather almost all UK wholesalers climbing onto to the drop ship bandwagon, it is difficult to make a choice. Some of the key pointers to making a selection that I would suggest are given below:
Registration Fees: The first thing that you should check for is the processing, joining or registration fees. As far as I am concerned, these are signs of fraud and should not exist. Why should you have to pay to become a partner?
Monthly Fees: Almost all companies in a drop shippers directory will want some kind of membership fees payable on a monthly pt 6 monthly bases. This is fair and should be in accordance with the service rendered. Be sure to compare the fees and the services to get a better idea of who is offering what kind of value for money.
Stock list: All products styles are not always in stock. Companies that offer a view into the stock status are infinitely preferable to those that don't. For one, it helps sell what is available and secondly, it means that the company is a genuine wholesaler and actually carries stock unlike a middleman.
Marketing Support: Sales requires marketing support and it is good to get all the help that you can get. All other things being equal, try to partner with a company with a strong brand and sufficient marketing support to make your sales job as easy as possible.
Shipping support: Lastly and most importantly check to see if the from the dropshippers directory is willing to do single-unit shipments.
