In the úlast toñIs the sales model Dropshipping It has penetrated very deeply and it is that each time they are moreás the sellers who join this model, but ¿Why?¿Whaté advantages it has?.
Let's start by clarifying what Dropshipping is. This is a model that succeeds because it has noún type of investmentóno time or money, Let's say the customer buys a product from you and youú With your client's money you pay your distributor and tell him the direction.ón of your client to send himé the product without passing through your hands. Mámaximum performance with the mícourage effort. Fáeasy and simple for the whole family.
does toñIt wasn't as popular as it is now.íto so many Chinese suppliers within anyone's reach, instead todayíyou can choose between manyíwe are sellers. ¿But it really is as productive as it seems? Let's analyze and compare the Dropshipping system with the whole life system, that of buying large quantities, have a stock and manage orders.
Model one, whole life system:
Advantage:
- You get very good prices when buying in bulk.
- If you sell within the país, the merchandiseía arrives very ráI ask (mámaximum one week)
- Controls máIt's the customer experience, the approxído everything your way.
- you can toñadd your company logo (aunque con Dropshipping según which distributor tooén)
- If there are returns or extravíit's always meás fáeasy to fix it.
Drawbacks:
- you lose más time to prepare orders
- you spend más money in envíos
- You have to always have stock
- You have to make an investmentón at start
- Usually you thereñit is to the national market
Model of, Dropshipping:
Advantage:
- No need to have stock
- You save time handling orders and money in loggingística
- Does not require investmentónot to start
- you can do envíeveryone
Drawbacks:
- It usually takes 15 and 30 días in arriving the purchase
- If the package is lostíalong the way to fix that is a very slow and annoying process for all parties.
Quizás leave me some advantage or disadvantage, but right now they don't come to meás to the head.
I have tried both styles and I can say that they both work, In my case, model one worked a little better for me, although really the key to éSuccess lies in the product you sell and the price you offer. With this I do not mean that you neglect the presentation.ón and dealing with the client, but if what you sell is sold by ten peopleás at a price very similar to yours your chances of selling go down. You have to find a little exploited product.
Once that is achieved alone
Mind you, you have to choose how to sell and this already depends a lot on the personality of each one and the time you have.. El Dropshipping quizáIt can be interesting for a trucker who is all dayíon the road and don't have time to manage orders, but instead maybeáIf you are a housewife, you prefer the traditional system because you feel moreás safe that way and you have time to manage orders and take them to the post office.
Two different styles, the same goal… ¿Cuál elijes tú?
A very interesting article, however in the case of dropshipping, I have a concern.
If I sell a product without having it in stock, and this one takes to arrive to my country around 30 days (if you don't get lost along the way), How is the “impatience of your client/buyer? Since I imagine that they always want to have their product to enter 3-4 days.
Hello Adriana
That is one of the main disadvantages of Dropshipping, The only thing you can do is clearly notify in the ad the time it will take for the order to arrive, alleging that it comes directly from the factory.. In this way, the client already knows how long he has to wait and we will save ourselves later complaints..
All the best.
