Wholesale Distributors Can Make or Break You


You know that reliable wholesale distributors and drop-ship agents can make or break a home business. This is particularly true if you are running a single person or a small family operation where costs are tight.

Solid product sources are paramount. Solve the problem.

You know you need multiple reliable wholesale product distributors because you don’t want to be hung out to dry if for any reason your Number One should suddenly be unavailable.

You also know that you cannot afford to be sandtrapped by “middle men.” Middle men stand between you and the wholesale distributor or manufacturer and are the bain of newbies and amateurs.

You are serious about your home business; you need to cut out the middle men and find real wholesalers of brand name products at prices that will be profitable for you.

In some cases, this may be no more difficult than finding a product manufacturer and striking up a deal where they drop ship a product directly to your customers. However, you may not be able to afford the time it takes to research reliable distributors.

The best online product research facilities will offer you both:

  • an active and informative forum with a searchable data base
  • a data base with current, verified suppliers for many product categories
  • You also want to be sure that you will have access to the specific kinds of suppliers currently fuelling the ecommerce and resale industry. You want to find:

  • drop ship suppliers
  • wholesale suppliers
  • liquidation and closeout product sources
  • factory manufacturers
  • suppliers from Asia
  • brand name products
  • daily updates to the supplier data base
  • Using online resources for wholesale and drop ship product research can be a frustrating exercise. It is never as simple as running a quick search on Google or Yahoo! Many of the first tier product suppliers don’t bother with advertising on the Internet or maintain such a low profile as to make them almost impossible to find unless you know about them before hand.

    Salehoo currently has between 600 to 700 suppliers listed in over 150 product categories. At last count, the number of products came in between eight to ten thousand. Now, you probably won’t need ten thousand products or 150 product categories, but what a powerful, informative research tool for finding what you do need! And, if the Salehoo directory doesn’t have it, the Salehoo staff will help you find a source.

    A few pointers to keep in mind, Salehoo is a member of the BBB onOnline Reliability Program and the Better Internet Bureau. It is also a verified merchant of the Fair Trade Authority (FTA). The FTA listing means that Salehoo adheres to the FTA’s Merchant Code of Ethics. This insures you up to $300 in the event of fraud or scam against Salehoo.
