Craft Product Resale Business

This is a great online business opportunity for someone who specializes in a particular craft, especially one where it is difficult to find particular items necessary to the craft.

You can create a great niche market for yourself. For example, knitters often find it hard to find certain types of wool in non-standard colors. The color is made by the manufacterer, but the small knitting stores do not want to bring it in because then they will be left with the rest of the unusual color that came in the mimimum order package.

If you are addicted to a particular craft, think of what items you always wish you could find, but never do. Then ask others who practice the same craft (especially those in different parts of the country) to see if they run into the same problem.

You will need a resale business license and tax number to purchase wholesale from the company. You will also need to research any minimum order numbers.

You should develop a website that you can easily keep up to date as new products and colors are released. (If you don't know HTML, you should take a class before launching the business). You should have a good quality scanner and digital camera so you can add clear photos to your site. Then add a secured shopping cart for processing orders, and you are set.

You can market your advertising in online resources of your particular craft, and don't forget to advertise in print magagazines as well, even if you can only afford a tiny ad. Be sure to include your web address and stress that you specialize in very hard to find products.

If you can provide strong customer service, fast shipping, and quality products, this business can easily grow and expand, especially as word-of-mouth spreads in your particular craft.
