How do I find out what companies will drop ship? Can I only get this info at Market? I wanted to put together my own mag. like a Lillian Vernan but for the web w/ different products. How do I start that. Keep in mind I have owned and operated my own business (service) doing custom painting but I don't know much about retail. And I don't know much about Drop shipping.
Almost any company will drop-ship for you. Even most catalog companies purchase and stock merchandise. They usually reserve drop shipping for items they don't sell a lot of or items that need monograming.
If you're planning on a web catalog you might want to start with just a couple items. One or two items are much easier to promote than and entire catalog. For the same dollar cost you can get much more exposure for one or two items than you can spreading the available dollars over 50 or 200 items. Good luck
