I am sure if you have been on the Internet, researching about work at home opportunities, you would have also come across the term wholesale dropshipper. So what is that actually? By definition, wholesale dropshipping is a supply chain management method, where the product is shipped from a supplier directly to a retailer’s customer. The product does not go through the retailer at all. This means that the retailer does not keep any stock, instead every time a customer places and pays for an order, then the supplier will pack and send the product directly to the customer.

Home business moms may wonder how does the retailer make a profit then? Well, the profit made by the retailer is the difference between the wholesale price and the retail price. Basically, the retailer pays a wholesale price to the wholesale dropshipper. Then it is up to the discretion of the retailer to decide on the retail price of the product.

Why should a work at home mum choose to sell dropshipping products? The benefits are aplenty!

• Don’t need to purchase any upfront inventory. This means that you do not need a big start-up capital.
• Don’t need to worry about inventory storage. No upfront inventory means no need to find a place to store any inventory.
• Don’t need to queue at the post office to send out customers’ orders. Once an order is made and paid for, the wholesale dropshipper will send it directly to your customer so you don’t need to waste your time doing it.
• Don’t need to search for suppliers and negotiate pricing. All the products are at one place, which is normally the wholesale dropshipping companies’ website so work at home mums do not need to waste energy and time looking for suppliers or negotiating on price.
  

• Easily add products to your store. You just need to select and click to add the dropshipping products to your online store and start selling immediately.
• Don’t need to worry about packaging the orders. Imagine if you have 50 orders a day. That means you need to spend a majority of your day packing orders for your customers or you might even need to hire extra help. Your time is precious, especially when you, as a work at home mum have a family to take care of. So it is wise to devote your working time to more important tasks such as marketing your store.
  
• Positive cash flow cycle. This occurs because the retailer does not need to purchase inventory upfront. The retailer is paid when an order is made by a customer. The retailer will have the customer’s money for a certain period of time because usually the retailer pays the wholesale dropshipper using credit card or credit terms.
• Diversify your products. You can sell a variety of products from beauty and fashion to hardware tools because they are all available at your dropshipper’s website. So you have the freedom to sell many different products without the hassle of finding different suppliers for each unique product.

• You get to start a business with very little risk. Since there is no huge amounts of money invested that means you do not have to mortgage your home or get a loan just to start a business.Therefore, there is not much risk but the returns might be aplenty!

There are numerous wholesale dropshipping companies these days but for home business moms, make sure you research on each of them to see which fits you best. For instance, some dropshippers only sell in bulk, while others do not have a minimum order. It is all in the details so make sure you open your eyes and look through each website carefully before deciding on it.

I was thinking about what types of 101 marketing strategies I can utilize for my soon-to-be set up online store and did some research on it.

Read my article below regarding secret home business success factors:

“How do I increase my home business earnings?” That is the question that entrepreneurs, either home based or large scale, should be thinking about each day. I mean, the main purpose of starting a business is to make money, isn’t it? There are so many different marketing tactics out there today and a lot of entrepreneurs waste time and effort on those which do not bring the desired results. However, there are three methods which you can utilize to increase your small business success rate.

Secret #1: Growing your customer base.

There are a few ways to grow your customer base. Work at home mums can use email distribution or send out fliers regarding your business. You can also aim for the places or spots where your target customers are most likely to visit. For instance, what type of magazines do they read? Which websites do they visit on the Internet? Then you can place your advertisements on those “spots” to gain new customers. Remember that it is important to continuously get new customers but at the same time, do not neglect the needs of your current customers. A lot of companies often focus too heavily on growing their customer base and as a result, let their customer service to old and current customers deteriorate.

Secret #2: Increasing the size of the purchase.

It is crucial to not only sell one product but instead, always try to up-sell your customers or even ask them if they might be interested in another product similar to the one they are buying. This is widely practiced by fast food restaurants where they ask you if you would like to have fries with the burger you ordered? Or if you would like to increase the size of your soda to a Large for just an extra dollar? Or if you would like to get two banana pies instead of one for only 50 cents more? Or instance, if you run a hair salon from home and a customer walks in for a trim, you can ask if they would like a hair wash with that and a hair treatment session as well. Furthermore, if you are selling a product which requires servicing then you can include monthly servicing plans or even warranty plans for your customers to add on as extras. Maximising your customers’ buying power means maximising business success.

Apply the "Would you like fries with that?" approach

Secret #3: Increasing the frequency of purchases.

Work at home mums should remind their customers when they will be running low on supplies. For instance, most printers have a reminder which pops up on your computer screen every time the ink supply is low. You can try to apply this into your current home business marketing techniques. Other than that, you can use email marketing to keep in contact with them or even send them a Birthday card or Christmas card every year so that they will remember you when it is time to repurchase. When it is near Christmas time, send them an early Christmas card and include a leaflet or flier regarding your current products so they may purchase them as Christmas gifts for relatives and friends.

Those are the top 3 secret home business success factors to making more money in your business. You will be able to earn more in your home business and increase your home business success rate if you implement these strategies into your current marketing methods. Therefore, home business moms should spare a moment or two to think about how they can apply these tips into their work at home business.

I think that a lot of people, specifically those who are still green in starting their own home business often disregard the importance of preparing a business plan. If you don’t already have a business plan, create one now. That is my advise for work at home mums. It was the same for me. It did not initially cross my mind but as I did more research on the subject of setting up my own home business, the more aware I was of its significance. A good business plan will be able to help your business succeed so create a business plan today.

Before you create a business plan, create a list of benefits to give you the boost to do it. I have listed out a few reasons WHY a business plan is important:

1. To obtain a loan from the bank. If you were to go to a bank to apply for a business loan, they will need to see a detailed business plan showing your profit projection and competitors’ analysis. Otherwise, how will the bank be able to determine whether or not your business can handle loan repayments? So preparing a business plan for such situations is crucial.

2. To manage your money properly. With a business plan, you can easily see which aspects in your business need more funds. By creating a business plan, you can also track what the business invested in. This is useful to ensure that you do not go over the limit. Imagine yourself at the local supermarket getting some groceries. For me, if I do not make a list of items to buy, I will usually end up with a cart full of things I do not need but grabbed along the way! Furthermore, if you have a business partner(s), then they would definitely want to know where all the money went.

3. To know what needs to get done everyday to make your business grow. I suggest making a business plan which includes a to-do-list and put it somewhere strategic to remind you of your daily tasks. This enables you to prioritize your tasks accordingly and you won’t overlook on anything important. For me, I create a to-do-list everyday because I have a lot of things I need to get done and sometimes I will forget if I don’t jot it down. I think to-do-lists are useful for home business moms in particular because they have to manage between picking up their kids from school, grocery shopping, household chores, paying bills and so on.

4. To understand if your business will make you money. You need to research on your product, target market and competitors to see if your business will be profitable. If you do not have a clear understanding of these crucial aspects then it will be difficult for you to market your product to your targeted customers.

That said, preparing a business plan should be one of the first steps that work at home mums take towards starting a home business. Find out how to create a business plan and start doing it today. When you create a business plan properly, you will know what needs to get done and how long you take to achieve a certain goal. I think this will help increase your productivity and put you work at home mums out there on the highway to success!
