Being a dropshipper isn’t just about making the passion. Isn’t just the coolness of being another digital techy. Its about making money, and earning money as you go along. As globalization takes place, markets becoming ever saturated, consumers becoming ever smarter and search engines get much better at searching out what people wants, as a dropshipper, you naturally want to stand out from the pack.

How to add value as a dropshipper?

Dropshipping may be a low barrier entry industry, but it ain’t for the lazy ones. It takes more work than ever to make it happen and succeed. Here’s the No.1 advice to truly succeed in Dropshipping.

1. Find local suppliers near to your target area – Fulfilment time is crucial. The time it takes from your customers paying their money and getting their items is one of the consideration points of purchase. People don’t want to not have their money and products for too long a time.
   • Tip: As a dropshipper, don’t go for the global market. It just doesn’t work. Specify a market that you want to target. At Godata.digital, the majority concentration of our warehouses are situated in Singapore and Malaysia. This is why, the dropshippers and digital marketers we work with are also based in Singapore. Conversion rates are high because they are able to find native and local dropshippers to fulfil parcels fast. 
2. WYSIWYG – Forget about copying and cropping images from the net and repasting them. It ain’t gonna work. Wholesalers from China are doing so, scammers are doing so.. Your consumers are picky and by giving them actual item photos make your listings and selling that much more reliable and trustworthy.
   1. Tip: Check out what we are doing over at wholesalestuffs.com. We make sure customers see what they can be getting. Yes. It take more effort to shoot the photos and edit them. But the payoffs are definitely more than worth it. Check with your suppliers if they can give you samples of the items. Most are more than willing to support. 
3. Research, Visit, Value-add and Negotiate(RVVN) – Businesses are normally more than willing to collaborate. But they do not want collaborators to just snatch away market share. Eg: if they are already selling online. Why do they want to be paying for your services or have you snatching up market share?
   1. Tip: Research about the industry and businesses you are thinking of collaborating. Visit them to understand more. Value-add to their business by providing them with the additional services that can help them to save time or make more money. If you are a Tiktok influencer, show them your account, if you are good with design, show them your portfolio, if you are good at digital marketing, let them know! This will make them more willing to discuss collaborations; esp if you are not buying stocks wholesale from them.
