Sell Products Made in the USA for Your Dropshipping Business

Often, consumers do not consider where the products they buy are made. They assume, and rightly so, that most dropship products they are buying are made outside the United States. Ask most people where the clothes they are wearing, the blanket they have on a bed, or the tool they are using was made, and the United States is one of the last places they will consider.

 

As consumers, we have become conditioned to think that what we order online or put in a shopping basket is not made in the United States. In fact, for every $100 spent on products, only $10.70 is spent on products made outside the United States. While there is the perception that fewer people are working in U.S. manufacturing companies (and there are) compared to decades ago, many manufacturing plants are more highly automated, reducing the need for workers.

 

 

COVID-19 Bottlenecks

E-commerce companies like to offer products from overseas because they offer higher profit margins due to lower-cost labor and manufacturing processes. However, given the current manufacturing and transportation bottleneck resulting from COVID-19 and the rising prices of off-shore products due to shortages and higher demand, product availability, convenience, and quality should be considered by e-commerce store owners.

 

There are opportunities to make just as much profit on U.S.-made products without product availability concerns.

 

 

TopDawg Is a Leading Provider of U.S.-Made Products to E-commerce Businesses

TopDawg offers dropshipping businesses the opportunity to buy U.S.-made products. Of the more than 700,000 products provided by TopDawg suppliers to e-commerce stores, more than 95 percent are of United States origin. In fact, TopDawg is one of the few U.S.-based companies providing such a large array of United States-made products to ecommerce stores.

 

We aren’t waving the flag or promoting patriotism. Rather, we made a business decision to focus on sourcing U.S.-manufactured products for the simple reason that the managers and owners are easier to contact and talk to, and the products are easier to obtain for our e-commerce customers. Also, U.S. manufacturers are not threatened by international manufacturing and labor shortages and transportation issues. Quite simply, products made in the U.S., more often than not, ship faster and less expensively than products that are warehoused offshore and are mailed or transported into the U.S. from another country.

 

What does this mean for your ecommerce company?
