If you’re drop shipping to Europe you want to make sure your supplier has something called DHL Global or some equivalent shipping method that is tracked and also faster than standard delivery.
Building a drop shipping store in Europe can be lucrative because not so many other people are doing it, so it’s not that saturated yet. You’ll have more opportunities.
Don’t get me wrong: USA works fine and is a huge market.
But if you speak French, German, Spanish, Italian etc. why not test a drop shipping store in a different country and see how it goes? Probably nobody has ever seen a free plus shipping offer. You will have more leverage.
Can you see how this is in your favour?
I built my first store in Germany and it was pretty easy because my advertising costs are low and I have pretty much no competition. I used my experience in the US market to do it in Germany.
My girlfriend is planning to do a little experiment in Spain. And then maybe France (my GF speaks a gazillion languages :-)).
Just think in which European country your product will sell more.
Without leaving your seat you can easily move your store to a different country. Imagine that.
And once I’m done with the European market I’ll come full circle again and maybe build a couple of stores in the U.S. But a lot of people aren’t aware of the opportunities outside the U.S. market.
There’s less competition. You will have more room to make mistakes. You can hit your audience with already proven techniques that worked in the US market (if you have a store in the US).
That’s a great untapped opportunity for you. Give it a try. See what type of results you get.
That’s pretty much it. Hope it helps.
