Introduction
Dropshipping is one of the most popular online sales models today. However, its success depends not only on marketing and customer service, but most importantly on... products and relationships with wholesalers. If you're wondering how to start or grow your dropshipping store, learn 3 effective ways to get products and wholesalers that really work.
1. BaseLinker Connect - a quick start with a ready-made database of wholesalers
One of the best tools to start dropshipping sales in Poland is BaseLinker Connect. It's a comprehensive solution that allows you to connect your online store with wholesalers and automate the entire process.
Why is it worth it?
- Marketplace of wholesalers - thousands of products ready for integration.
- One-click import - pictures, descriptions, parameters and instructions go automatically to the store.
- Real-time inventory updates - avoid problems with stock shortages.
- Automatic generation of labels and notifications - high quality customer service effortlessly.
With BaseLinker, you can focus on what matters most: sales and market analysis, not logistics.
2. industry trade shows - personal contact with manufacturers and wholesalers
While automation is a powerful tool, nothing can replace face-to-face contact. Industry trade shows are a great opportunity to:
- learn about the offer of wholesalers and manufacturers,
- Establish business relationships,
- Negotiate individual terms of cooperation.
Here we distinguish two groups:
- Wholesalers already present in BaseLinker Connect - you can easily connect with them technically, and a personal meeting can help you get better terms.
- Wholesalers who do not have BaseLinker Connect - it is worthwhile to present to them the value, from joining the program. They will be able to process orders for you very easily.
Face-to-face conversations also allow you to gain information about new products, which can give you an edge over your competitors.
3. wholesalers' own brands - products with higher margins
Searching for private labels in wholesalers is a strategy to increase margins and stand out from the competition. Often the same products (e.g., consumer electronics, tools) appear under different names and colors.
How does it work?
- Wholesalers sell products from Chinese manufacturers under their own brand name.
- These products do not compete directly with global brands on marketplaces.
- You can get better discounts and exclusive rights to distribute specific series of goods.
It is worthwhile to analyze the origin of the product, check KRS and company affiliations - often you will discover that the wholesaler is the sole distributor of a particular brand.
