There are many people who are thinking of creating a business of dropshipping. This form of sale offers clear advantages over traditional trade: you don't need physical space, or stock, or take care of orders. You just have to find a good provider, create your store and maintain a good relationship with your customers so that they come back and buy.
Obviously, this type of business tend to involve a lot of competition. For this reason, one of the most common questions that generated is clear will it be profitable?
The profitability of your dropshipping store depends largely on to differentiate yourself from the competition
It can be said that if you get get between a 20%-30% net profit on the normal price of the product, the business begins to be profitable. Everything depends, obviously, product of which concerned and its ability to generate sales.
In addition, you must keep in mind that the profit margins that you can get with this method, in general, will be lower than that you could get if you comprases products to the dealer that sold more cheaply to someone who buys a large volume of items that a retailer who works with dropshipping.
Some dropshipping providers set a minimum price to avoid conflicts
Dropshipping suppliers show customers what would be the price for the sale of a product. But, of course, the last cost choice will always be yours.
Minimum price: there are some Dropshipping to providers they set a minimum price below which the product cannot be sold. Try to avoid in this way caused a conflict with prices that do not benefit anyone. This is good for you since it avoids that your competitors sell even cheaper products, whereby the price you buy them.
With regard to the maximum sale price the product to the customer, although it may be that your you set, it will be limited largely by the prices of the competition. Therefore, the best way to get more benefits is to offer added value to your products and thus differentiate you from your competitors. For example, you can offer personalized advice, tips, products manuals, create videos, add new images, video tutorials, offer discounts...
This type of values provides customers confidence and security. In this way they will be willing to pay a little more for your services.
You must take into account that these facts are normal taking into account that with dropshipping you don't run risks, in the sense that you don't have to have an accumulated stock to lose money if you are not able to give out. Either you have to place a minimum order, so it is logical that your profit margin is less.
If you want to differentiate yourself from your competition and offer tailor-made services, you need to mainly TIME. Time to create manuals, descriptions and videos. So the best is to take as little as possible on issues such as stock, products updates.
