Drop shipping is the easiest way to sell and has been around for years. A seller that is well known for using drop shipping for decades is Sears. Drop shipping is a strategy that can also be used by businesses who have joined the ECA program with SFI.
Drop shipping does provide an easy way to get started and the ability to leverage other people's resources without having to invest thousands of your own. When managed correctly, it can form the foundation of your own successful SFI business.
In order to get the most out of this strategy for ECA products consider the following:
To be successful, you typically can't compete on price. Instead, you'll need to offer value in a different way, usually through top-notch product education, service or selection.
Work with multiple ECA suppliers with overlapping product lines. It's inherently dangerous to rely on a single supplier. Having two suppliers doubles the likelihood that an item will be in stock and available for shipment.
High details about your ECA products will allow buyers to know what they are purchasing thus the drop shipper promotes further opportunity to receive the product just in time without having to wait.
