More and more people are realising the income potential of
buying products made in China and reselling them. If you are thinking of
venturing into this lucrative business opportunity, the first thing to learn is
to avoid counterfeit designer items. You do not want to start a business that
is contrary to the law really. The trick is to find a unique set of items, even
related ones, and build from there.
Never base your choice of product on what is the cheapest
available or one that will give you the highest mark-up. It is better to go
with a product that you like because you will have some level of knowledge and
expertise on this product as you’ve had some experience using it. If you are
looking to sell in bulk, you should go for small items that can be shipped
easily and in large quantities. This is actually the whole point of deciding to
buy from China, buying in bulk to
save on shipping cost.
Most hobbyists nowadays search for their items and equipment
online so you may want to consider an online store or membership to an auction
site. Once you have your product, where to get it is your next concern. There
are a lot of above board suppliers who will have offer you a good payment
structure, handle you shipping and even your returns.
You can look for Chinese suppliers in online directories for
outsourcers. These directories already come with a list of the products being
sold, a company profile, contact information, and other pertinent information.
Draw up a list based on recommendations from people you know that have already
had some success selling Chinese goods. Aboveboard Chinese suppliers will give
you references that checks out fine, samples of their products to be shipped to
you, and a good customer support system. You also want to work with a company
that can offer business licensing information as well as manufacturing
information.
It would be ideal if you can make a trip to China to check
out the factories where your product will be manufactured. This way you can
also get a feel of the type of business you will be forming a partnership with,
as well as their business practices, manufacturing processes, and their
experience in handling orders from overseas.
