Esources Made Me A Market Research Wizard!
1. I’ve been in the wholesale business for more years than I care to
remember. I’ve seen a lot of interesting trends and tools come and go in
the wholesale industry. However, one of my favorite resources that
stayed with me is this helpful and reliable directory service - esources.
This is one site, that didn’t just help me get in touch with verified
suppliers, it also taught me a thing or two about online retail!
A New World
I have considerable experience of selling handmade toys and wooden gift
accessories in the real world. My grandson knows a thing or two about
computers and he told me I should also start selling on the internet. He
said there was a larger market out there and I just needed to set up a
site and start selling! This sounded like a great idea but it seemed a bit
too easy. So I asked a couple of friends about selling online.
2. They told me that it was hard work, just like anything else. However, if I
headed over to the site called esources.co.uk, I would find a great place to
start learning about the business and I would be able to connect with the
right people. They also warned me that selling online was very different from
selling in the real world. I would need to know the basics of online retail to
make my business successful.
I wasn’t sure if this was something I wanted to do at my age; it can be hard
to teach an old dog new tricks! However, they took whatever doubt or
misgivings I had, right out of my mind. First, I found a large number of
suppliers that weren’t just dealing in my products, but also in a bunch of new
ones that I’ve always wanted to add to my store. I was able to get in touch
with a supplier who made wooden jigsaw puzzles and even one who made
wooden yo-yos!
Becoming a Wizard
I soon realized that finding wooden yo-yos was one thing but I was also
going to have to figure out how to sell them online. I didn’t have to go very
far - the friendly resource suggested by my friends, has a very handy Market
Research Wizard tool that taught me pretty much everything I needed to
know. I learned about keywords and how the misspellings of words are
important in driving traffic. I learned about product demand online and even
about seasonal demand trends.
3. The Market Research Wizard also taught me all about how to keep tabs on
the competition. Most important of all, it told me what the selling potential of
my products would be. I’m happy to say, that today, I am the proud owner of
a pretty successful online business.
I’ve continued to use esources ever since, to get the latest information on
industry leads and to find new products. A lot of people wanted to know how
I became such a whiz at online selling. I always say that I am a whiz thanks
to the Market Research Wizard tool offered by this wonderful directory
service. The site has taught me this and a lot more about the wholesale
business; it just goes to show that it’s never too late to learn!
Apart from offering users access to a large number of verified suppliers,
esources.co.uk also has a very handy Market Research Wizard tool to teach
people more about the marketability of their product. Esources reviews will
tell you how the site helps to get the latest information on industry leads.
