These days, one has to be savvy when selling consumer goods. There's enormous competition among retailers and etailers, and increasing your profit margins even slightly can mean the difference between success and failure.
Whether you sell electronic gadgets in a face-to-face storefront or online, you can reap higher profits and great benefits when you hook up with a Chinese wholesale products company. Some of today's most popular electronics are manufactured and assembled in China and sold through online China wholesale websites. If you're looking for great merchandise at low prices, these standalone wholesale merchants are one of the best ways to go.
For years, there have been a couple of wholesale "malls" where Chinese manufacturers and merchants posted their availability and tried to find U.S. buyers for their wares. One of the primary issues with these malls was trust. Even when the website offered escrow payments, it could still be difficult to work out details, get your merchandise shipped and through customs and do it all without communication snafus. To top it off, many of the companies in those marketplaces insisted on minimum orders of hundreds or even thousands of units of the same item. The prices may have been great, but the logistics were a nightmare, especially for small business owners who needed small lots - 10 or 15 or even fewer.
After several years of dealing with U.S. customers this way, a number of Chinese wholesale companies have broken out of the group-think mentality and set up their own online ordering systems and wholesale programs. Unlike those in the huge marketplaces, these companies are set up to cater to smaller businesses and individuals who have no interest in buying in lots of 50, 100 or 1,000 units of the same product. They offer low, discount and wholesale prices to people who want to buy even a single item, with discounts increasing with larger orders.
But these Asian wholesale companies don't stop with offering low prices to small consumers. They also make it easier for small business owners to do business online or in brick and mortar stores. For website owners, many of them offer drop shipping, even free drop shipping, so that retailers don't have to pony up the cost of inventory, provide storage space or do their own shipping. It's an easy way to deal with the logistics of running a mail order business, and makes it possible to run your own website from a small apartment or your home office.
For those who have brick and mortar stores, Asian wholesale websites offer some of the lowest prices online for the most coveted merchandise, including electronic gadgets, geek gifts, LED watches, mobile phones and Android tablets. They're a great source for products if you sell personal electronics at flea markets and home shows, or from a storefront on Main Street. You can buy in lots of five, 10 or 25 items and reap the benefits of lower bulk wholesale prices, and, depending on the specific wholesaler, you may even be able to mix items to reach a minimum order and qualify for a bigger discount. This kind of buying allows you to carry a wider selection of low-priced electronic gadgets, from MP3 players to GPS navigators.
Marketplaces that are scaled for large purchasers and hand all the benefits and savings to them can put the small business owner at a disadvantage. Check out the perks available to small retailers and individuals on standalone Chinese wholesale websites, and start making money with wholesale prices on your favorite products today.
