I’m pretty confused. The headlines are all about a recession one day and a recovery the next, Ben Bernanke is assuring me that the financial crisis is over, and the price of gold is making my head spin. Brazil is boosting its export market to the USA, and I’m sitting here in Hangzhou, China… watching the country continue to build, build, build. It’s a lot for me to wrap my head around. It probably is for you, too. While leading verticals like Toptenwholesale.com and its network of sites (manufacturer.com, wholesaleu.com, offpricenetwork.com) help buyers locate general merchandise, apparel, accessories, gifts, electronics, handbags, jewelry, toys, and more… there’s a few others in the industry that seem to have a better handle on reality than most right now. A great example of one of them is DollarDays, a wholesale distributor who offers some superb options to the people who are either preparing for lean times in the job market… or maybe even those who are looking for something to bring revenue in while they are unemployed!
Let’s face it, in the middle of this non-recession(?), it pays to have a set of alternatives up your sleeve. I’ve mentioned the rise of opportunities during these economic hard times before, and I’ll say it again: this kind of market presents a lot of chances to service customers who are looking for the best deals, and the most personalized service. While the big box retailers do fine at their job of moving massive amounts of goods, they fail at identifying each customer’s needs on a case-by-case basis. This is where you step in, and make everything right for the frustrated consumer who needs immediate attention! DollarDays offers a whole bunch of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs as well as a quick-install, affordable option to start your own online store.
Here’s some additional highlights:
- This is a company that sells over 25,000 different wholesale goods on its website, and they are very interested in helping you to begin and grow your own business.
- Visitors have a choice between getting set up through their affiliate program, or by allowing the option to stock and sell their own goods.
- While there are hundreds – if not thousands – of sites that sell DollarDays goods, there are also plenty of brick and mortar stores that stock their products as well.
- If you don’t have the space to stock products, DollarDays offers a convenient drop-ship program that allows venders to drop-ship certain products by the piece.
- If you plan on buying a lot of goods from DollarDays, you can enroll in their Platinum Program, which could mean huge savings for you.
Look out for the twitter and facebook links on their site as well, and while you’re at it… make sure you get connected to our pages as well, where you can sign up to receive tweets, feeds, and updates from us about all the ways you’ll continue to Find it. Source it. Profit!
Nice to see I’m not the only one confused about the recession.
DollarDays is awesome. Their prices are great, their site is easy to use. The Dropship program is great for selling products on Ebay and such.
@ Jen Shinn: Confused is an understatement! Imagine how I see this whole thing, living in one of the fastest-growing cities… in China. I can barely believe some of the things I see… when my red, irritated eyes aren’t watering from the car exhaust, that is.
@ JU: It is an easy-to-navigate site, isn’t it? I wish more developers would take a cue from DollarDays.
Dollar Days is a great wholesale site, my only problem with the site is that it lacks landing pages in other languages, primarily Spanish and Chinese. i think that this is a huge wholesale market that is not being tapped.
@ Paul: You make a great point. This is indeed an area that needs to be addressed by any company that hopes to tap into other parallel potential markets… but I can tell you that my own experience with working on bilingual content in China usually results in bonus headaches when content crossover revisions are needed down the road… it helps a lot to have vertical sites like Toptenwholesale.com to keep the stray info off your searches though!
Don’t be mistaken, it’s very hard out there. Just this morning there was an article about a huge mall in South China where over 90% of the shops were unoccupied, and this picture is repeated in many areas. And on the online marketplaces there are many people selling but fewer buying – not good!
