I'd like to open an online shop, not a huge one, but the dilemma is i don't have products. Theres lots of shops selling the products, but how would i go about this? I'd like it so i don't need to have the products, but i can simply sell the products, would this be dropshipping?? Any suggestions?
Go to a big trade show like Glee. Considering you;re in Birmingham you should have no problem sources products. There's a big show there every other week. Pretend to be selling stuff already and they'll give you a contract and CD in no time. E-mail or fax the orders and you're done.
What sort of products are you looking to sell? One of my "hobbies" is running a gift shop type of catalog. I can offer these products to you at wholesale price if you're interested. I can also help you build a web store if you're interested. Contact me if you'd like and we can discuss it further. Have a great day, Paul Falardeau
