The biggest shopping holidays Black Friday and Cyber Monday are on our doorsteps and BrandsGateway is launching a promotional campaign to offer the best deals across different brands and categories of products for its subscribed dropshippers and wholesale buyers. BrandsGateway’s promotional campaign is set to officially kick off on 14 November and will last until 30 November.

BrandsGateway's network of dropshippers and wholesale buyers is expanding at a fast pace, and we are enthusiastic about sharing their stories filled with experiences and lessons learned to those looking at pursuing a dropshipping business. This success story is dedicated to a dropshipper who joined BrandsGateway's network of dropshippers in 2020, prior to the pandemic taking hold across the globe. We asked this dropshipper about the decision to start a dropshipping business, more specifically for selling branded apparel and accessories supplied by BrandsGateway, about his challenges and plans for the future. [dropshipping_page_cta] 1. Could you tell us more about yourself and your dropshipping business? Were you pursuing a different career path before this? What made you decide to get into the dropshipping industry in the first place? I started my company in France approximately one year ago. With a bit of money and through contacts I have in Italy, I decided to buy clothes stocks. At first, I started an offline retail business but unfortunately, because of Covid-19, I didn’t have much success, as people were quickly turning to online shopping. Then I moved to Italy and started selling to Switzerland but very soon another lockdown was imposed and the borders between the two countries were closed for 6 months. This is when I decided to dedicate myself to starting an online business, so I turned to the dropshipping model.

When you’re in the dropshipping business or are just starting off, you have to first understand how this business model works and keep educating yourself on new ways to improve your venture. As there is high competition among dropshippers to succeed, it’s important to put time and effort into becoming the best business owner you can be. Fortunately, you can find plenty of dropshipping resources that can enrich your knowledge - from dropshipping blogs and forums to eCommerce podcasts and online dropshipping courses. This article will introduce you to the best dropshipping resources for your level, regardless of whether you are a beginner or have years of experience in the field.
