Dropshipping is a business model in which ecommerce entrepreneurs sell products without having to carry any inventory. When a store owner receives an order from a customer, they simply contact the supplier, who will then ship the products directly to the customer’s door. The Artisan dropshipping program let you add products from our inventory into your shop to enhance your product offering.
Dropshipping offers a number of benefits that can be extremely attractive to retailers. By eliminating the need to maintain physical inventory, dropshipping reduces the management overhead retailers normally face. As a dropshipping retailer you can scale quickly because order fulfillment is not dependent on the size of a physical location or the number of workers you need to ship out an order.
Businesses that adopt our dropshipping strategy don’t have to invest capital in acquiring inventory or establishing a location to store it. In addition, there are no upfront costs associated with joining the Artisan Furniture dropshipping program.
