Are an internet business owner that
is right in the middle of building a site and feel you will not be
ready and open in time to capitalize (even a little) on the holiday
season? If you feel this way, then you need to dropship products on Google Base.
What is Google Base? (taken right from Google Base home page)
Simply describe your items on Base to make them as easy as possible
for people to find when they search. You don't even need a website to
put your stuff online.
The cool thing that I love Google Base for is that it is much easier and more friendly to use then the old-style Froogle.
But here is the part that is really cool - when you list your products
to sell online via Google Base, they will also show up in Froogle. It
gives you more exposure for those that do not know about Google Base
and use Froogle. You are also set on Google Base too for those of us
that know its pretty much taking the place of Froogle.
As long as your dropshipper has given you access to
product images, descriptions and pricing etc... then you can start
listing your products today. Granted, not everybody is aware of Google
Base or even Froogle for that matter, but there are people that do know
and we want to take advantage of any area of marketing we can. Even if
you are not able to get things done in time for the holiday, you still
should really consider listing all of your products on these buying
solution sites. Remeber my post a while back on Dropshipping on buying solution sites?
Google Base is free too, for those of you that are a bit
cheaper during the holiday seasons and are pinching your marketing
pennies! The only thing it will cost you is time. One other nice
thing with Google Base is that it is integrated nicely with Google Checkout.
It is basically another merchant to take payments, think of it like
paypal. You will have to go through a little bit of setting up the
account, but it will be worth it!
Just really wanted to remind everyone about taking advantage of dropshipping on Google Base and give a shamelss plug to come and buy the dropshipping package so you can have access to as many products possible to be doing the dropshipping with! Good Luck!
