Product Sourcing Hoo Sale Style

For many successful eBay sellers and ecommerce etailers, Salehoo is an important resource in the research of fresh product suppliers and acquisition of hot selling products. True, Salehoo isn’t for everybody. But for many newcomers–and even for people who’ve been around a while and just like to be plugged into an active network of buyers and sellers–Salehoo provides an honest taste what real business really means.

Salehoo is one of the few high profile online, wholesale product supplier directory memberships. The purpose of such memberships is to provide an extensive, reliable online rolodex of contact information for the different kinds of product suppliers that retailers, resellers, eBay sellers, flea market vendors and others use to purchase products to sell to the public. Salehoo, for example, claims to provide over 8000 listings for:

genuine wholesalers

dropshippers

liquidation closeout specialists

light bulk wholesalers

factory distributors

discount retailers

Chinese manufacturers and distributors

I haven’t tried to count them all, so I can’t say for sure. Anyway, even though I think Salehoo is a good idea, I think that because it suits my purposes, I enjoy the information, and I value the ideas and information available on the forum. Salehoo also has a sister site that brokers small bulk lots of high quality liquidated name brand stock. This is available for use by its members, but that’s another story. None of this is going to do anyone any good, however, if you don’t know how to use Salehoo.

Tip #1: It is important to understand that Salehoo is not a product supplier. We have discovered that many people think that Salehoo is itself a seller of wholesale dropship goods, but this is not true. It merely provides the contact information.

Tip #2: Participate in the forum. The Salehoo forum, or the forum of any other legitimate online wholesale directory, is where the real action is. This is where you learn the good, the bad, and the ugly of product sourcing. This is where you are likely to find your best leads to the low cost products you need to make a profit.

Tip #3: If you can’t find what you want in the directory and aren’t getting satisfactory answers through the forum, send a private message to the Salehoo staff for help and advice. This applies to any other wholesale membership you might want to participate in. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Tip #4: When using the directory, be sure to pay attention to the ratings. When you find a wholesale or dropship supplier, go to the forum and ask for current feedback on reliability. Members will tell you exactly what they think.

Tip #5: When you find a company that looks promising, be sure to verify the kind of product supplier they are. That is, are they a true wholesaler and/or dropshipper? Are they liquidators or factory distributors? Are they discount retailers? The Salehoo directory will usually give you that information, but don’t be afraid to ask the company outright any questions you have. Be sure to tell them that you are a member of Salehoo. If you find them through some other membership, be sure to reference the membership in your communication.

Tip #6: Use the Salehoo market research tools and training materials.

Tip #7: Before you start selling products on eBay, ask for product feedback on the forum. You are likely to get useful advice that will save you money and time in your auctions.
