subject: Importing Salt Lamps For Profit [print this page] Salt lamps are becoming more popular in the U.S. these days. Basically, salt lamps are larger salt crystals that have a room for a candle or tea light inside. The lamp gives out a soothing glow when lit, and it is believed that salt lamps emit healthy negative ions into the air, which calm our demeanor, lessen fatigue and stress, and improve our health overall. Salt crystals are mined in a lot of places in the world, the Himalayas being one of the most celebrated spots. In America, most specifically, importing salt lamps for profit is quickly becoming prevalent.
Great thing that there are a number of wholesalers and retailers out there who can help you out once you decide to penetrate the business of selling imported salt lamps. It works the same as for most small businesses; the supplier fills an order for your product and ships it to you (or in some cases, drop-ships it to your buyer). You also have the choice of transacting your business dealings in face-to-face or through the internet. At the very least, there's a minimum purchase needed. But prior to engaging in this type of business, however, you need to consider a few factors, including the following: quality of the salt, quality of the lamp, customer service of the supplier, and most definitely, the price.
The phrase "you get what you pay for" usually holds true in this kind of business. You may find a great wholesale price for salt lamps, but the quality could be low, or the shipping may be sloppy there are usually reasons why the price is that low. Indeed, it's imperative to evaluate the quality of the product, the reputation of the supplier and then set these factors against the perceived value of the salt lamps - that's how to check if you're getting a decent profit from such a transaction. In many cases, when you're offering a quality health product (which salt lamps are), people can recognize the value and are willing to pay for it. If, on the other hand, you deliver a low-quality product to your customers, it won't matter how little they paid it will look bad on you. So while you definitely want to price your lamps competitively and still make a profit, you are more likely to make that happen by selling on value rather than price point.
Importing salt lamps for profit not only makes a wonderful business, it also makes you a good person because it is good health that you are offering. Search for a good product from a reliable supplier, and see what you can accomplish.
