You’re welcome, Ben. I hope it helps. To be honest, SaleHoo is fantastic for sourcing products for these type of sites. If you get stuck, it never hurts to give it a try as they do offer a money-back guarantee. Wow, thanks for sharing what your friend negotiated with his supplier. I would never have thought of that! Like you said, it never hurts to ask.

Looking forward to hearing how things go for you. Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Fantastic Melissa, thanks for that. I’ve seen Salehoo before but never gone any further than that with them. But it all seems pretty straightforward which is cool.

With regards to them giving special discounts, one thing my friend has been able to arrange (due to higher orders) is that the company actually login to his site at the end of the day and generate their own sales/shipping report. Now, there aren’t going to be many who do this for you but it’s always worth asking I reckon if you’re sending them some good business.

Well thanks again for the detailed reply, I’m off to do some research . Have a great weekend.

Mostly, what I do is go to Google or Bing and type in the name of the product plus the word "dropship" or "dropshipper" and see what is available. Sometimes you will find a company that not many people know about and are more than eager to work with you. But sometimes your search will not turn up anything at all. In those instances, I turn to SaleHoo. If these people cannot find you a reputable dropshipper for your product, no one can. Every source in their directory or who they personally recommend has been checked out and deemed a trusted source. If you do not want to post what product you are looking for in the forum, you can open a support ticket (they actually encourage this) and in a few hours (or less) they will have a small list of companies you can contact. They have never failed to find me a dropshipper or two for any product I've looked for and the companies have been incredible to work with. Not one problem. I know a lot of people like WorldWide Brands, but I don't think you get the same level of customer service with them as you do with SaleHoo. Just keep in mind that the prices on dropshipping sites will be a little more (because of the service they provide) and therefore may not be attractive to selling on eBay, but you can make some phenomenal profits selling the products on your own website. And once you establish yourself with them and they see you are consistently sending them orders, many times, the companies will negotiate a lower price for you which gives you an even greater profit margin. Good luck and keep me posted!

Do you have any advice as far as choosing/finding your dropshippers? Without releasing any of your own secrets of course . I know I’ve looked in the past and I know you have to be careful as some of them are lower quality.

Hi Ben,

Glad to hear from someone who has used the theme! I love the versatility of it and the fact that I don’t have to learn or update ecommerce software. This is exactly what I use for the dropshipping sites. I can have them set up in a few hours and then concentrate on nothing but promotion.

Glad to hear your friend’s site is doing so well. I have several doing really well and I expect it will only get better with the biggest shopping season of the year upon us. And yes, you really do need to get on the bandwagon.

Hi Sunshine,

I’m so sorry you missed the deal! I had the same problem with the RSS feed showing up late in my reader as well. Also got the email late, so I’m guessing everybody missed out. Not sure what happened there as I’ve never had that happen before. I may look at an alternative to make sure my content gets delivered to those who are interested. If Mark holds another sale, I’ll be sure and post it. It’s a great theme for the money at regular price, but with the discount it was even more of a steal.

Hi Melissa,

I’ve used this theme myself as well as other members of the premiumpress family of themes, they’re well developed and made. Mark (the developer) is also a really nice guy.

Having used the theme I loved the mix between having the WordPress admin area and the ecommerce functionality. So many of the ecommerce platforms are “clunky” and hard to use, whereas Shopperpress and WP are the perfect combination.

I have a friend of mine who has just finished a new dropshipping site and it’s doing really well. I need to get myself on the band wagon:).

Hi Melissa,

I’m so upset that I missed this deal. For some reason, your feed showed up on my Internet explorer rss feed today instead of the 3rd, when you wrote this and I’ve already spent my budget for the week on shiny new objects.

Oh well maybe next time.
