DIRECTORY HELPS HOME-BASED ENTREPRENEURS

FIND PRODUCTS TO SELL ON THE INTERNET 

ORLANDO, FL -- Recognizing the growth of online auction sites such as E-Bay, and easy to use e-commerce platforms like ‘Yahoo Store!’, Worldwide Brands, Inc. has developed The Drop Ship Source Directory as one of it's Product Sourcing solutions. This Online Directory provides pre-qualified Wholesale Suppliers of brand name products that Home-based Internet Business Owners can sell on the Internet.

According to Forrester Research, there will be 1 billion Internet users by the year 2005. E-commerce revenues for that year are projected to exceed $300 billion.  Today, non-store retailers account for 75% of this on-line market.  The recent boom in the popularity of e-commerce has caused many people to research ways to start an Internet business to generate additional income or start a new career.

One of the most effective ways of running a profitable Home Internet business is to use Wholesale Suppliers who are prepared to single item ‘drop ship’ products to Internet customers. Using this method, Home-based Internet Business Owners do not hold inventory.  They simply place products images and text on their web site or auction, and forward their orders to the drop ship supplier. The supplier ships the products directly to the customers, and the Home-based Internet Business Owner makes a profit on every sale without ever touching the product sold.

Chris Malta, Founder of Worldwide Brands, Inc., Host of "The Entrepreneur Magazine E-Biz Radio Show", and Product Sourcing Editor of "The eBay Radio Show" discovered a shortage of reliable suppliers when he started his own group of e-commerce stores.  He was confronted with bogus merchant accounts, misleading marketing programs and fake wholesalers.  With this lack of legitimate information, he set out to build his own comprehensive list of suppliers by personally contacting brand-name manufacturers.   After he had built his own legitimate contacts, Malta then wrote two articles on finding drop shippers on the Internet that were published in the WebPro News e-zine. As a result, he was inundated with e-mails from people who wanted to know more about the suppliers he had found. The high demand for this type of information led him to create The Drop Ship Source Directory. Later, Worldwide Brands created The Light Bulk Wholesale Directory to serve the needs of those Internet Sellers who wished to stock and ship products, and The Market Research Wizard, to allow Internet sellers to do hours worth of research into their competition, in just minutes.

Worldwide Brands' Directories have evolved into comprehensive, fully cross-referenced, web-based sources of Drop Ship and Light Bulk Wholesalers for over 1,000,000 products from more than 2,600 brand names.

"What makes The Drop Ship Source Directory and The Light Bulk Wholesale Directory  different is the full time, dedicated research team that continuously updates the directory with current information on real Wholesale Suppliers," said Malta. “No other source of this information anywhere offers that kind of support.”
