Is it a viable idea to do big ticket dropship? Will people purchase diamonds from your jewelry dropship outlet? I am not familiar with jewelry market to the extent I wish, but we know of a few successful big names running online stores – Diamond.com, for example. So a quick look into online jewelry scene.

Demand is slightly declining over years though regional interest for jewelry is strong in the USA, very strong. We should keep in mind that I did not research a transactional keyword, but a general one. It means that people over time might start buying more jewelry, but do less informational searches

There are some rising searches, of course, like:

Another quick check shows us most popular searched keywords in the industry and shows competition ratio:

Tons of searches and lots of competition…

Suppliers: it is a sort of surprise to me, but there are SO many dropship merchants offering to dropship jewelry. Is it god or bad news? Hard to say – it could mean that there is tough competition in the industry.

Now back to the question – will people buy high ticket dropship items from your store? I do not talk about some silver or semi precious stones products – I talk about items that cost hundreds and thousands.

We update our dropship business case study category for a few years now, we do it regularly. And we have a separate category – jewelry dropship, but when you check it you will be disappointed with two business cases that do not inspire (at least, me personally) to enter jewelry market as a dropshipper affiliate.

When I put buyer’s shoes I am very doubtful that I would purchase a high ticket item or product from some unknown store. I will also definitely give a call to talk to a real person and make sure that I deal with a legitimate and professional company. I might be wrong, but I believe that most buyers will call before buying jewelry online – it makes jewelry (as well as other high item products) a poor seller for dropship affiliates.

Description:

Hi guys this site is still a diamond for the right owner. As soon as I tapped into affiliate marketing and info products I immediately stoped promoting this to focus on my new business model. The plan was for my wife to take this site for herself but we had twins and that consumed all of her time. The site did 30,000+ in 04 and 05 when I was promoting the site via Adwords on specific products. The site gets all natural traffic and makes about $250 per month without advertising as it stands. I recently changed hosts so my stats are scewed but you can check alexa and the way back machine to see the site has been around.

The site is regularly indexed by 15+ search engines and all that it would take for the new owner to make the money again is to advertise. I will show you exactly how to get set up with the distributor and anything else you need.

The hosting and domain are set for another year so you can simply login and take over. I really have no idea how to tranfer this all myself so you should know all this if you want to move it. The recent host change I had to pay a guy to do. Please contact me with all details and proof.

Revenue Details:

Right now the site brings in about $250 a month with zero advertising but here are the financials going back to 2003. Send me a message for actual proof of earnings and oscommerce sales/tax reports.
2007-$1,287-April and May I had the site down to move to another server
2006-$5,604
2005-$30,024
2004-$36,433
2003-$8,698

Traffic Details:

Currently the site recieves all natural traffic and recurring customers. In the oscommerce admin panel there are over 700 customers with their email addresses in which I never really took advantage of. Some customers come in and spend thousands ay one time to stock their stores or resale at flea markets. When I was advertising I was simply using Adwords with product related keywords. The biker gear and knives are especially hot items.

You might be not sure what to do with all those lists of categories of products and merchants – even once you explore the detailed dropship list program comparison (and they charge some fee for their high quality lists – that is the difference from free dropshipper lists where any kind of company can add its listing and nobody verifies that data). When you have read success stories of other online entrepreneurs similar to you then an idea and vision of your future dropship business shape in your mind:

- what kind of products sell with dropship business concept
- where to test products and how
- what to look for in dropshipping merchants
- where to sell those products
- when it is the time to invest into own website and its web promotion

eBagTrends.com + eBagTrends Message Board

I am considering selling my E-commerce Website. Merchandise can be dropshipped or stocked yourself. I will be providing the new owner of the site with valuable suppliers and resources, and everything is easy to manage.

I did my research for a profitable ecommerce category and decided to start eBagTrends.com. “bag” and “handbag” has consistently been in the top 10 search results for site such as Shopping.com, Amazon.com and Ebay.com. Initially, I was just selling handbags, then I placed some jewelry categories in. Finally, I incorporated my Amazon associates program and a few others that I have so I could expand my product range into higher end designer bags, shoes, jewelry and other accesories.

eBagTrends.com is very much like ebags.com. eBags.com sells a wide variety of bags and their entire business is dropshipped.

I have always stocked all items myself, but the new owner can completely dropship with the suppliers or do both.

The site currently sells merchandise from:
Kooba
Jessica Simpson
Melie Bianco
Koi
Perlina
and many designer inspired items from hobo bags totes, satchels, duffel bags and many more styles. Many of the designer inspired items are the hottest sellers.

What Comes with Sale of Site:
Free transfer and ownership of eBagTrends.com
Full functioning and easy shopping cart script
eBagTrebnds message Board for traffic purposes
List of all suppliers will go to the new owner only.
All file and photos that are on the site already.
*Site also comes with eBagTrends message board at http://www.ebagtrends.com/forum – Great way to increase repeat and new business*

*I will be supplying the new owner with 5 reliable and reccomended suppliers*

Conclusion: added to the answers of numerous questions you might have about dropshipping business you can use these case studies to develop similar projects selling the same products just to get feeling of the entire process. Once you are in you can test things.
