			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is something backwards about this idea of charging someone to sell your inventory.  Of course I am talking about excessive dropshipping fees and membership kits that a supplier might force you to buy if you want the privilege of selling their stock.</p>
<p><em>We will dropship to your clients, just pay our $129.99 dropship club fee and you can be off and running your business today!</em></p>
<p>Dropshipping Club? What is that about….?  Do I get membership card or some sort of vest to wear on Tuesdays?</p>
<p><em>No, its just a fee we charge to give you the privilege of buying our inventory. Oh, and did we mention each time you make a purchase from us we will charge you a dropshipping fee per box shipped?</em></p>
<p>Alright, all kidding aside. I personally pay huge amounts of money on PPC campaigns, banner advertising, affiliate program management with the intent to bring sales to my company.  Traffic to my website translates to sales and traffic is not cheap.  If I can lower my marketing expenses and still make a sale working with an outside sales force, please sign me up!</p>
<p>I never understood the idea of charging someone to <em>sell my inventory</em>.  If someone wants to collect money and handle all aspects of customer service while I ship a product out to their client…I say go for it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dropshipping is <strong><em>not</em></strong> a viable choice for a retail  startup…or is it? All too often the spotlight shines upon those who are  constantly in the media; we all know success stories fill the shelves at our  local Barnes and Noble of famous people, but what about a true hometown success  story?</p>
<p>Let’s travel back a few years, 9 to be exact, and meet a couple of college  buddies who were working to earn a masters degree at California State University  Chico, here in northern California. Christian (Chris) Friedland and David Bocter  started a small E-commerce business selling plumbing supplies, faucets to be  exact. This venture met the guidelines for a class project and they both hoped  it might bring in a small income to subsidize college expenses.</p>
<p>As a partnership, Chris brought experience from a local plumbing supplier,  while Dave provided early funding. Faucetsdirect.com was born and quickly became  a success; in fact today the company employs over 200 people here in Northern  California under the parent company Improvementdirect.com. The operation now  boasts 12 separate websites offering the latest in home improvement  products.</p>
<p>Back then and still today; this company uses the Dropship model for product  fulfillment. Improvement Direct has fostered relationships with some of the  largest manufacturers and distributors of home improvement products in the  Country.</p>
