A customer making a repeat purchase is easier to convert than a new customer who has never bought anything from your store.<\/p><p><strong>Small-sized products:<\/strong> Lightweight and smaller products are easier to ship and have lower shipping costs compared to heavy products, which can drastically reduce profit margins.<\/p><p><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Before you decide on a product, look into its average price on other retail marketplaces like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/au\/insight\/online-sellers\/how-to-sell-on-amazon\/\">Amazon<\/a>. The online market is very competitive. For customers, pricing is just as important of a factor as product quality. If your prices are too high, you may struggle to get any orders, at all. Look for products on Alibaba that can give you a good 10-20% profit margin even after accounting for other dropshipping costs like supplier fees, marketplace fees, shipping, marketing, taxes and currency conversion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a84d64c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a84d64c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Vet and finalise suppliers<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-524bb68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"524bb68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When you know what products you want to dropship and at what budget, it&#8217;s time to look for suppliers who can accommodate your budget and offer high-quality products.<\/p><p>Here are a few tips to vet suppliers on Alibaba<\/p><ul><li>Look for verified sellers that offer <a href=\"https:\/\/tradeassurance.alibaba.com\/\">Alibaba Trade Assurance<\/a> (It is Alibaba\u2019s in-house payment protection program that safeguards buyers by setting up escrows.
