Hi everyone
I want to get some advice on setting up a drop ship business, I purchase the four hour millionaires kit and I will be implementing this as most of it seems very workable for me.

I have always been interested in design, furniture and interiors (and studied this) and I would like to do my business in this niche. With the hopes of opening a physical store in the future. I would like to sell large and small items from sofas to cushions.

I would like your thoughts on starting a successful dropship business in this niche and how to find suppliers in the UK preferably directly from the manufacture, I have found some companies however I don't like their designs and I wouldn't feel happy selling something that I wouldn't buy myself.

Thanks in advance.

    Have you thought about attending furniture trade shows in the UK? That would be a good place to meet manufactures and chat with them live at one place.

    A more serious question is HOW are you determining this is a good niche?

    When you find a niche, you have to find actual market data and numbers to prove that your niche falls within 3 direct criteria. #1, you need to make sure your niche is IN demand. However, there is a direct correlation between the amount of demand, and the amount of COMPETITION (which is the second parameter)

    Thirdly, you need to make sure that your niche is commercially intended - meaning, when people search for you, they more often BUY than learn.

    All of these 'niche decision' items need to be studied using numerical data points to make your final niche decision.

    Just a a normal business doesn't just pick something out of the air to sell, they study the market, the demographic behaviors, and then they make a decision on whether or not it's a good idea.

    Many businesses fail because they take on a 'location location location' only approach, and cite that their location was the only thing that made their business fail.

    There are many other market factors that will go into making you a SUCCESS.

    People have to WANT to find you, be ABLE to find you, and be more apt to BUY from you - and not learn.
