If the last few years have taught us anything, it's that the world benefits from being able to transact online. The pandemic was a catalyst for an increase in online grocery delivery, social media use, virtual education and yes, online shopping. That's why now is the time to launch and run an online business that delivers everyday items such as vape kits and CBD beauty products right to your customers' doors. That is exactly what dropshipping allows you to do, and you can begin providing this service with almost no startup costs, today.
What Is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping is something anyone can do, no matter your business experience. It is the process of buying in a product (such as a vape kit) and selling it on for a profit to your customer base, but without handling the shipping, packaging or returns. It can be set up right away, without any hassle. There are very few overheads and you won't need to store any inventory anywhere. All you need to run your own dropshipping business is a computer or smartphone, internet connection and enough money to invest in a basic marketing strategy. You can dropship just about anything, but some websites (such as JM Wholesale) are designed with dropshipping as a fully integrated, accessible service that anyone can sign up to.
Why Is 2023 A Great Year For Dropshipping?
Dropshipping is an innovative and modern business model that can be implemented in pretty much any industry, from clothing and accessories to specialist foods and healthcare supplies. Even if you have never heard of it before, you can get involved and won't need to do much in the way of learning. But why start now? What opportunities lay ahead? Here's why 2023 is a great year to begin your dropshipping business.
1. We've learned lessons from the pandemic
The general population worldwide had to learn how to use the internet to buy products and services once the pandemic hit. It is now more normal than ever before to switch on an iPad and order your groceries or use a healthcare service. One survey showed that 75% of respondents said they were more comfortable using online public services after the pandemic, and 3 in 5 older people said they were now happier with online shopping than before.
With so many people now using the internet as their first choice of consuming information and products, it's a great time to launch an online business. Your market will have grown exponentially since pre-pandemic times.
2. Certain markets are booming
According to research, certain markets are predicted to skyrocket in 2023. Some of these are:
- Health supplements and immunity boosters, including CBD based products like capsules and ointments.
- Electric cars
- Genetic testing
- Elderly health support
- Lab meat
- Home security
- RVs and caravans
- Subscription boxes
Given that natural health supplements, immunity boosters and elderly health support are likely to be growing markets, you might be wise to start a dropshipping business that focuses on this area as it is easy to manage.
3. Many households need extra cash
2023 is likely to cause some economic hardship, with the end of 2022 seeing rising cost of living and soaring energy prices. You might benefit from some extra money in your bank account by starting a dropshipping business to offset some of these costs. Now, we know what you are thinking, if there is an economic downturn, won't fewer people be buying? The answer is, not if you are selling something they need. For example, if you are selling smoking accessories and vaping kits, then this is deemed a necessity in many families and not something they want to do without. Selling vaping kits online can be a good way of getting a steady income while providing people with something that they genuinely need.
4. You can work from home
Working from home is now more popular than ever, and something that is deeply desired by many people. Working from home can benefit parents and carers, or anyone who requires some flexibility and work-life balance. Dropshipping can be done from your laptop or smart device, and does not require a physical premises or stock room. You just submit your order online, and the product is sent to the customer. You then receive the profit. It's that simple. Working from home means you can free yourself up in many other ways and achieve a better quality lifestyle.
