Esources Made Me A Market Research Wizard!

I’ve been in the wholesale business for more years than I care to remember. I’ve seen a lot of interesting trends and tools come and go in the wholesale industry. However, one of my favorite resources that stayed with me is this helpful and reliable directory service - esources. This is one site, that didn’t just help me get in touch with verified suppliers, it also taught me a thing or two about online retail!

A New World

I have considerable experience of selling handmade toys and wooden gift accessories in the real world. My grandson knows a thing or two about computers and he told me I should also start selling on the internet. He said there was a larger market out there and I just needed to set up a site and start selling! This sounded like a great idea but it seemed a bit too easy. So I asked a couple of friends about selling online.

They told me that it was hard work, just like anything else. However, if I headed over to the site called esources.co.uk, I would find a great place to start learning about the business and I would be able to connect with the right people. They also warned me that selling online was very different from selling in the real world. I would need to know the basics of online retail to make my business successful.

I wasn’t sure if this was something I wanted to do at my age; it can be hard to teach an old dog new tricks! However, they took whatever doubt or misgivings I had, right out of my mind. First, I found a large number of suppliers that weren’t just dealing in my products, but also in a bunch of new ones that I’ve always wanted to add to my store. I was able to get in touch with a supplier who made wooden jigsaw puzzles and even one who made wooden yo-yos!

Becoming a Wizard

I soon realized that finding wooden yo-yos was one thing but I was also going to have to figure out how to sell them online. I didn’t have to go very far - the friendly resource suggested by my friends, has a very handy Market Research Wizard tool that taught me pretty much everything I needed to know. I learned about keywords and how the misspellings of words are important in driving traffic. I learned about product demand online and even about seasonal demand trends.

The Market Research Wizard also taught me all about how to keep tabs on the competition. Most important of all, it told me what the selling potential of my products would be. I’m happy to say, that today, I am the proud owner of a pretty successful online business.

I’ve continued to use esources ever since, to get the latest information on industry leads and to find new products. A lot of people wanted to know how I became such a whiz at online selling. I always say that I am a whiz thanks to the Market Research Wizard tool offered by this wonderful directory service. The site has taught me this and a lot more about the wholesale business; it just goes to show that it’s never too late to learn!

Apart from offering users access to a large number of verified suppliers, esources.co.uk also has a very handy Market Research Wizard tool to teach people more about the marketability of their product. Esources reviews will tell you how the site helps to get the latest information on industry leads.
