WHY YOU WANT TO BE A DROP SHIPPER

It requires a lot of capital to stock a warehouse. You can eliminate the risk of going into debt to start your business by using dropshipping. Instead of purchasing an extensive inventory and hoping that it sells, you can start a dropshipping business with zero inventory and immediately start making money.

The cost of inventory is one of the highest costs you’ll have if you own and warehouse stock. You may end up with obsolete inventory – forcing you to find ways to reduce your stock – or you’ll end up with too little inventory – leading to stockouts and lost revenue. Dropshipping allows you to avoid these issues and focus on growing your customer base and building your brand.

Most importantly, in order to truly run a successful business, you need to prioritize the important things. Getting your store up-and-running, while manageable, does take hard work, so it’s important to try to automate tasks like adding products to your store, and to get rid of unnecessary to-do’s, like fulfilling and shipping your own orders. With drop shipping especially, having the ability to delegate fulfillment allows you to focus on what’s most important: marketing your store, talking to your customers, and strategizing how to scale your business.

Now, all you need is an Internet connection to run your store from anywhere! Not only is this a nice perk, but it allows you to work on-the-fly, especially when small emergencies or big orders come in when you’re far from home.

Drop shipping is often considered the foundation to a successful business. When starting your store, this is the way to avoid investing in a ton of product, staying lean, and also staying smart.
