Bicycle Dropshipper
If you review our previous posts you will see that I most focus on two types of posts:
- Real life dropship case studies – what people dropship, how they promote and what they earn.
- Ideas for products to dropship – bratz dropship and blue ray DVD dropship are a few examples.
I have never turned to seasonal products yet – and to tell the truth, I have no experience with that type of products. Say – bicycle dropshipping. I am sure that there is demand for that type of products – to make sure I will check with a few tools. We see those search demand waves reminding us that we really deal with a seasonal type of product.
What about the supply? It makes no sense to move further if you are not sure you have a selection of verified dropshippers – I do not mean those that you get in Google when you type in ‘bicycle dropshippper’. I talk about the companies that are experienced with dropshipping and have some track record
I turn to the lists of reputable dropshippers and see that one lists no products I need and another offers them in abundance:
Drop Ship Wholesalers |
15 |
Light Bulk Wholesalers |
17 |
Instant Import Buys |
0 |
Liquidation Auctions |
1 |
Along with the number of supplies I get some cool online market research – demand, competition, auction and retail pricing numbers. I do not rely on this data only, but it is really of great help to have a look into the product category where you have no experience.
Next – I turn to another dropship list and see six more potential bicycle dropship merchants that are presented in this way:
Bicycle Supplier – Join for Supplier Name & Website
Visit Website | More Information
Products: Summit Adult Trike, Kruzer King, Summit Industrial Bike.
Description: Distributor of bicycle products representing the top names in the industry, like Shimano, SRAM, Thomson.
Then I need to develop a marketing strategy. In my case I am not in a hurry with this project and I do not have a large budget at the moment. So, I would choose one of the cheap online bicycle dropship business strategies:
Launch a separate e-commerce website adding a few incoming links and growing content by 3-4 pages monthly. No PPC advertising, no e-mail marketing, no CPM banner advertising, no eBay auctions. I will start the website and assign min monthly time to update/ promote it. I hope the site will be properly indexed and gain some search engine rankings for the next peak of bicycle sales – in Jule 2010.
