Benefits Disadvantages Is dropshipping for you?

While it won’t give you the ability to get your inventory in front 
of millions of customers, a dropshipping website of your very 
own can provide you with advantages you won’t get any other 
way. You’ll get a lot of freedom, but you’ll have to make some 
compromises.
Setting up a dropshipping website from scratch may sound overwhelming, 
especially if you don’t have any prior experience, but it’s surprisingly easy thanks 
to ecommerce software like Shopify. You can easily create a site and integrate an 
ecommerce plugin to make your store, no experience necessary. Is this the right 
choice for you? Here are some points to think about.
Pros of setting up your own dropshipping website
You have complete control.
You can decide everything that makes up your store, 
from the placement of your logo to the format of your pages. Most importantly, you 
can communicate your value to your readers, and this can give you a serious edge 
over your competition.
You don’t have to pay outrageous fees.
Without a third party to take a cut, you can 
considerably increase your profit margins. Those 10 to 15 percent listing fees that 
Amazon and eBay charge? Forget about them. You now only have to worry about 
payment processor fees and the cost of the actual products.

It’s easier for customers to buy on mobile.
Ever tried to use your mobile device to 
buy something off a sales platform like Amazon or eBay? It’s not always pleasant. 
With your own dropshipping website, you can easily make your site responsive and 
mobile-friendly for your customers. Better yet, if you use a platform like Shopify, you 
can manage your entire business from your mobile device, so you can keep an eye 
on things even when you’re on the go.
