How To Take Advantage Of The Holidays To Leap Ahead of Your Competition
How To Take Advantage Of The Holidays To Leap Ahead of Your Competition
Hi, this is Chris Malta, CEO of Worldwide Brands.
We created OneSource, the internet's largest and most highly respected source
for finding genuine
wholesalers for your online business. I'm also the product sourcing editor
for eBay Radio, the host
of the Product Sourcing Radio Show, and author of several best-selling books
on ecommerce and
wholesale.
I have to apologize to you for something that I should have done for you a
long time ago, but
honestly just never thought of telling you. Out of my hundreds of articles,
hundreds of radio shows,
all my web sites, the books I've written and more, I've left something out
that's been critical to my
own multi-million dollar success online, and it's something you really need
to understand.
We're half way through December now, and everyone's online sales for 2007
are about to wind down, as
we get to the point where you just can not ship products to your customers
in time for the upcoming
Holidays. This is the time of year when most Ebiz owners are slowing things
down, and getting ready
to relax and take some time off with friends and family.
I was talking to a friend the other day, who asked me what my Holiday plans
were. I told him that I
had some plans for Christmas Eve and Christmas with my family, and then I had
work I needed to get
done. He couldn't believe that I was planning to work during the Holidays,
and wanted to know exactly
what I had to do that needed to be done during the Holiday Season. I told him,
very simply, that I
needed to get ready for January, the start of my 2008 business year. I've taken
that simple fact so
much for granted over my 30+ years in entrepreneurial business, that it never
occurred to me that
most newer entrepreneurs don't think about it.
Look, when you're selling products online, you need to be fully prepared for
the first couple of days
of January every single year. The best time to prepare for that is the two
week downtime when online
sales slow way down in the last half of December. Come January 2nd of 2008,
which is only a couple of
short weeks away, the truly successful online sellers out there are going to
be burning up the phone
lines contacting wholesale suppliers.
Successful online sellers KNOW that the first few days of January are the
best time to start new
relationships with wholesalers, to contact them and grab the fantastic overstock
deals they have
available from the Holidays, to be the first to get in on their newest product
lines, and so much
more!
So, SUCCESSFUL online sellers spend the last half of December planning out
which wholesalers they're
going to contact the minute the 2008 sales year opens for business. Look, when
midnight rolls around
on New Year's Eve, LOTS of online sellers raise a glass and resolve to improve
their online sales in
the coming year. What they don't realize is that people who make a LOT of money
online ALREADY HAVE A
PLAN for the first business day of 2008, and they developed that plan during
the Holiday downtime!
THIS is the time, RIGHT NOW, to start looking for wholesale suppliers of the
products you want to
sell in 2008, before all the early January after-Christmas wholesale deals
are snapped up by other
sellers! Have a great time during the Holidays, but be absolutely SURE to develop
a plan to be on the
phone first thing on January 2nd, with a list of wholesale suppliers of the
products YOU want to sell
in 2008. This will give you a tremendous jump on most of your competition,
who will just be getting
around to THINKING about post-Holiday wholesale deals on January 2nd. By the
time THEY get around to
calling the wholesalers, the post-Holiday deals will be GONE.
This is what I do every single year in ALL my business ventures, and that
planning time has served me
VERY well. If you don't yet own OneSource, our premiere wholesale sourcing
tool, you should get it
now. Get into OneSource NOW and start finding wholesale suppliers to call on
January 2nd. I
absolutely GUARANTEE to you that the people who make serious money online are
already making those
plans RIGHT NOW.
