Question about Brands/Am I doing this right?
However, one of my niches has brands, and a lot of popular brands. The customers that know what they want in that niche will likely search for brand. I starting looking at some of the brands and was finding "dealer" sections on the manufacturer websites, etc.
So my question is this (I will try to keep it as general as possible). What do you all do when there are major brands ( not carried in stores to boot) that you would like to carry on your website?
In this niche, I have found a ton of products that I can dropship and quite a wealth of dropshipping products. But when you go and look at the products- that is all they are, just products with no brand. So lets say my niche was turtleneck sweaters ( it isnt). I know Gap, New York and Company, Guess, are all big brands that sell those and customers will likely search by those brands. I would like to see some big brands on my site. But while researching dropshippers of turtleneck sweaters, I was finding stuff that doesn't even have a brand. They look instead like this: Woman's Turtleneck Sweater Purple XLarge. No brand mentioned.
So, what do you guys do when you KNOW you are going to want to hit some of those brands up?
Do you just go and put some of the off brands on your site and then contact the brands and see if they will allow you to dropship? Is that what those sites mean by "dealer"?
Basically, I don't want to sell junk is what I am saying. But to get started, it looks like I am going to... well.... have alot of junk items without brands on my site. I am assuming when I contact the bigger companies, they are going to want to see my website so I can't just not have anything on there.
How do you all get around selling junk- unbranded items?
I even looked for dropshipper programs that may carry these brands and welp no. You go be a dealer with the manufacturer or you don't get into the program.
Any clarification on this would be greatly appreciated! I just don't want to have an entire site that looks like this:
Womans Xlarge purple turtleneck
Womans Small pink turtleneck.
I would rather it say:
Gap Turtlenecks
Guess Turtlenecks
Etc.
Any advice?
