Hopefully, we can inspire people into taking that step and just start. It’s not an easy task to build and run a business but with a great partner, the job becomes much easier.  This is the story of a dropshipper from Australia who is one of our biggest success stories. His name is Sam and he runs the website Azurarunway.com. Sam has an entrepreneurial background and like thousands of other successful entrepreneurs, his previous business efforts were not a big success but he decided that he is not giving up so he stumbled upon BrandsGateway. That is when everything changed. Sam has been a dropshipper on BrandsGateway for two years and is in the top 5 dropshippers by sales. His story is not an overnight success - his amazing results are a product of hard work and dedication. Together with BrandsGateway as his business partner, his entrepreneurial efforts paid off.  1. Could you tell us a bit more about your business? Sam: My name is Sam and I am the founder and CEO of Azura Consulting which is the parent company of Azura Runway, the company which does dropshipping through BrandsGateway. What we do as a company is basically dropship branded and luxury fashion around the world.  We plug into a platform called ChannelAdviser, which then imports our products to various marketplaces around the world. We currently sell in 10 different marketplaces” In Australia, with the aim to get to a hundred by the end of this year.  2. Is this your first dropshipping business or you have had previous experience with dropshipping and e-commerce? Sam: This is our second dropshipping business. We had another business in Australia which was more wholesale, where you have to buy the goods upfront. The category was different, we were working with general appliances and groceries. The business didn’t do as well as we hoped. Luckily that’s when we stumbled upon BrandsGateway and got into the higher fashion business and dropshipping.
