Hey Biophase,
I really appreciate this topic, (I haven't been as active in the last few months due to university studies) but I was wondering what do you do to get suppliers. Like my strategy was to put a bunch of products on my website and then call the supplier and show them my site. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
IMO getting suppliers should not really by a strategy. Remember it's all about creating value. If you are targeting a niche where your supplier has an online retail store and ranks on the first page they have no incentive to supply you. All you are going to do is dilute their retail sales. It will be tough to get a supplier like this to dropship for you.
You would have to offer a new channel to them, maybe you also sell on ebay or amazon or increase their brand awareness.
But if you can find someone who has a shitty online store or no retail presence, then you can provide value by offering them a ton of new sales. Sometimes a supplier like this will be reluctant to supply you. But if you just began your store and began ordering things from them every week they will probably come around. Everyone likes money.
