Episode 26 Sourcing Inventory From Near and Far, Part Three
Today’s episode is the third and
final instalment of our series on domestic and international
supplying. We have talked about shipping in both the United States
and from overseas. We have also talked about the politics involved
in overseas suppliers. Today we finish this series with how to find
a supplier you can work with and make money.
There are tons of online
suppliers that offer cheap products for newcomers. These sites are
helpful, but the ideal situation is to explore the market and find
your product through trial and error. On today’s episode we share
our experience with finding our products and offer practical advice
on how to be smart about it.
The main points from today’s show are:
you should consider the long term when looking at a
supplier
mouth
order amount is good indicator of a profitable product
reasons to consider domestic suppliers
math equation for smart product ordering
is bank management
We could try to explore what
makes a great product and how to find the best seller, but there is
no formula for what works and what doesn’t. This will conclude our
series on this subject, but we hope we gave some useful information
on how to approach building and managing your inventory.
