[unseenhero66]

firstly let me state im not a supplier

second let me state im not an affiliate but i do remember someone asking about an affil program in his guestbook and him saying he would be up for it

thirdly im just asking if anyone would wanna have basically a smaller scale of ruyan direct here in usa im in atl ga and would gladly run it if i got everything figured out

and i guess i dunno on prices or anything but i wanted to ask everyone before i even asked him dont really wanna go into buisiness without a customer base lol

Most affiliate programs that sell hard goods, don't stock any merchandise - they either direct link to the parent website with an affiliate code - which takes everything totally out of their hands, or - they code their OWN site and drop ship. The second option is a lot more time and money intensive.

willow is correct now if you where to become a direct shipper of his products then you would have to buy his/ theirs and do a markup and it is time consuming. ot may just be easier to be an affiliate if they go for that stuff or even getting hired by them to maanage a place in the states.

If stock was located in the US and prices were reasonably close to those of RD itself, then absolutely yes.

 

[unseenhero66]

basically what i was thinking would be buying the products myself..... and then reselling them im not an ... when it comes to markup im pretty reasonable

 

[Antig]

If you can get wholesale pricing, make large orders to cut on shipping, and only keep enough middle-man costs so that it matches the RuyanDirect pricing for ordinary buyers, then yes.

Not to be a jerk, but really, this is a 'trick question.'

Do we want a ruyandirect comparable business in the US? Yes. That should be obvious to anyone - better prices for same gear? Duh.

The way you've worded it, however, sounds like you want to 'ensure you have customers to fund such a business.' For that, I see no reason for that to be *you*, versus any other pre-existing supplier. If there's markup above ruyandirect, well..it's not ruyandirect in the US, is it? if it's a slight markup to allow for shipping, but has no association with ruyandirect, then it's 'just another supplier,' and then it's on you, your pricing, and business strategy/marketing to differentiate yourself from other vendors. But it's not equal to a 'yes' on this poll.

Hope that makes some sense.. ?

Wegster:
You just gained 11ty billion plain speaking, common sense points! (whatever the hell they are).
Clearly stated and 110% on target.

Wegster,

You are right, ruyandirect is a supplier and so are we.
Our Price=Ruyan's price+shipping to US,
So if Ruyan had a US based distributor, The prices would be higher than ruyan's prices. i.e. US supplier prices

Whats the difference?

Not sure about this.
So I can't vote.
