Promotional Items For Sale On My Website

Posted by Anonymous on 3/17/2011 at 5:34 AM ET 70 Points
I am in the process of revamping my website. Because my company is a full service marketing agency, I want to provide ideas and an opportunity to order promo products from my website. Not only will this be beneficial for my clients and potential clients, it will create another revenu generator for my business.

I have found a few online promotional solutions that pretty much do everything for about 100.00 per month. The only problem is these solutions are American and my business is based in Canada. I'll post an example for you after my question.

I want to set up my virtual store in the most efficient way... Just not sure how to deal with my promotional providers.... What would be the best and easiest way for me to make a sale and transfer the funds to my suppliers?

I will be using virtue mart (cms) and the categories I have chosen are: print items such as referral pads, stationery pkg's etc, promo apparels, marketing info documents.... Just to name a few.

Any advice is welcome.

    I do business in this way also and have done so for years with no problems. I have my e-comm website that sells to customers worldwide in US funds. I use PayPal for transactions, and my suppliers have my corporate credit card on file. They charge me my “dealer cost” on all my sales I send to them and drop-ship products direct to my customers. Plus I collect a ton of “cc points” for future trips, gift certificates, etc.

    That's exactly what I would like to do. I can't seem to find the examples of the sites I had found, but it seems to be like yours.

    Would you mind sharing your website domain with me, and if your business is based in Canada like mine, how do your Canadian customers feel about US charges? Maybe I am just making a big deal out of nothing :)

    Thanks,
