How to find supplier

This is the great source to find:




Trade directory of wholesale suppliers UK and international wholesalers
B2B portal featuring importers, distributors, manufacturers and wholesalers in the UK
This click on the link http://www.esources.co.uk/a/614107/ and you can be directed to the source of many supplier in the UK and international. 


For example there are 1126 UK supplier for jewelries and watch in this directory. 
Moreover, there also some guide for you to read such as how to be more efficient on ebay listing, how to set up business, how to get money and so on...
Esources


However, not all the thing are free. You can read the guide but to get the information for supplier, you need to pay some money to get them. Although you have to pay around 60 pounds for a year using, you can get as much as supplier as possible. Also, you get some discount while contacting supplier with the quote e-source.

Second Problem Supplier

After the first blog I have share with you the first step opening up the website. Now you need to worry about your supplier. What is your products? 


I have searched and searched for very long time how to find suppliers. For a beginner, it's hard to buy in bulk for cheaper price. Because buy in bulk means that you have to take big risk of obsolescence in technology, warehouse cost and also broken down. 


I think the best way for you is to start with drop shipping scheme. There are many wholesalers want to sell item directly to customers so they set up an drop shipping scheme. Let's me explain for you. Normal retail price is markup of difference distributor levels. Manufacture sell good to wholesalers, wholesalers sent to distributors, distributors sell to retailers. Then, you buy it with at most 100% markup price. 


Dropshipping is the scheme where you don't need to purchase large quantity. You just need to list the item on your website or ebay, amazon. Then, when you get the order from ebay or amazon. You send the company with dropshipping scheme an order then they will send your customers products that you listed.


By choosing dropshipping scheme you can even compete in term of price with retailers. I have registered with dropshipdesign to find all sort of products. You can also find it useful. http://www.dropshipbiz.co.uk?aid=14077


The scheme cost you a little bit due to the fact that they take the risk for you. But in exchange you have your own supplier with low risk. They even do guarantee for you.
