Check out my previous article on where to look for dropshipping business opportunities.

Defining Your Target Market

With so many brands available when it comes to tea, choosing what to sell might seem a bit overwhelming. While choosing your products to sell, it is important to consider the competition, sales rank data, product availability, and your target market. You must have a very targeted marketing strategy to be able to reach your specific niche market. Before you can go ahead with this marketing strategy, you must have a very well-defined target market. Think about who would want to buy your products. Based on your research and imagination, create a persona. While choosing your products, marketing, or creating content, appeal to this persona.

Dropshipping Tea

There is no need to talk too much about the popularity of tea. Tea is the most widely consumed drink in the whole world other than water.  According to the Tea Association of the USA, Americans consumed almost 84 billion servings of tea in 2016 alone. So, if you are selling tea, the statistics are on your side. Undoubtedly, this doesn`t always mean that selling tea online equals to success. It goes without saying that it is complicated like every other business.

Dropshipping tea is a good method for smaller online retailers because it minimizes risk. With drop shipping method, you can sell a wide variety of tea without stocking them. In a dropshipping business, your supplier`s performance directly reflects on your success as a retailer because so much depends on them.

A good supplier will offer fast lead and transit time anywhere in the U.S as well as negotiated shipping prices. They must also be able to offer true wholesale prices without buying restrictions, that is- they should be able to sell products as packs and eaches. We also recommend that you avoid dropshipping from other retailers and sign up with a real dropship supplier, who can offer blind dropshipping. The packages prepared by your supplier should only include your company`s name. Additionally, it should not include prices. Otherwise, it is a disaster. Imagine the customer opens a package and sees another retailer`s name and a different price tag than the amount they paid.
