Always Open

Physical businesses usually have limited hours, but an online e-commerce shop remains "open" 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year. This is hugely convenient for the customer and an excellent opportunity for merchants.

Cost Savings

Location Independence

Ecommerce Marketplaces

Just selling items on your online store, limits the potential of how much money you'll make.
With inventory management software it's never been easier to manage your stock across multiple channels. Which means you can concentrate on what matters most, selling more products!
Here's a shortlist of marketplaces, you should consider using alongside your online store.

eBay

People have the assumption that eBay is purely for C2C businesses, but that's not the case. There's a whole host of B2B and B2C transactions happening on this site. If a product isn't selling well on your website, try putting it on eBay as an auction to recuperate some money back.

Amazon

Etsy

Etsy is an online marketplace that's ideal for anything handmade. It specializes in vintage and unique! Etsy has a fantastic community vibe to it and is excellent for building a good reputation as a seller.

Alibaba

If you don't have an original idea and just want to start selling, then check out Alibaba.

Where Can I Source Products for My Ecommerce Business

There are tons of places to source top-quality products to sell on your e-commerce store. However, these tend to fall into one of three categories: Manufacturers, drop shippers, and wholesalers.

1. Manufacturers

A manufacturer is a company who creates its merchandise and sells it to any of the following:
* Individual consumers
* Wholesalers
* Distributors
* Retailers
Traditionally, manufacturers to create and assemble the products on a larger scale companies so they're ready to distribute the products. On the whole, it doesn't matter whether you purchase goods via an e-commerce store or in a conventional brick and mortar store, the goods will have labels displaying where the merchandise was created (i.e., where the manufacturer is based).

Types of Manufacturer

There are three types of manufacturers

Made to Stock :This kind of manufacturer produces goods to be displayed in showrooms or shelves. As such, the manufacturer can usually predict the demand and therefore builds its products in advance. That way they're far less likely to run at a loss.
Made to Order :
This branch of manufacturing does precisely what it says on the tin- they produce orders as they come in. Just like the Made-to-Stock business model, the inventory is pretty easy to handle. There shouldn't be too much loss because they only create products when a specific order comes through. However, as such, customers have to wait longer for their stuff to be delivered.
Made to Assemble :
Last but not least, this is when a factory only produces the essential parts needed for the user to assemble the finished product themselves- a bit like Ikea! This is best for companies who want to fulfill customer orders quickly. However, it's a little riskier than the others because you can end up with loads of unneeded parts.
Dropshipping
In theory, dropshipping sounds simple
All you have to do is launch your e-commerce shop and then reach out to suppliers. You then take orders from customers to which you'll pass onto the said supplier. They then ship your customer's orders directly to them.
This is a fantastic business model for entrepreneurs who don't have space or the budget to stock masses of inventory. Plus, it minimizes the overall risk. With drop shipping, you don't have to spend any money before the customer pays you- which is ideal for business owners running on a tight budget!
3. Wholesalers
Out of using the services of wholesalers, drop shipping, and manufacturers- wholesalers are probably the hardest to handle. The system isn't very well structured. It's just an extensive list of random suppliers, and in some cases, they're dotted across the globe.
This means you need to do some research and find out how these wholesalers are structured.
Some of the better ones include AliExpress or Alibaba. These resources enable you to research which products are the most popular, so you're more likely to find goods your customers want to buy.
You can also do all the following with these websites:
* Filter products,
* Source product photos,
* Find detailed information about the supplier,
As you go through wholesaler directories and conduct your research, ensure all potential suppliers show a good track record of delivering their goods on time, offer a reliable point of contact, and produce top-notch products.
