International Trade Sites for the Small Business Owner

Gueriila Style

For those starting a small business in retail, wholesale trade, flea markets, swapmeets, auctions, there are many local and international suppliers available to buy products from for resale and even more internet sites one can find.  However,  more often than not, one must be willing to invest hundreds of hours of internet or sourcing magazine research and often live sleepless nights if you don't have an army of personnel at your disposal in order to find reliable and affordable suppliers.   Through my own sleepless nights and hundreds of research hours I've developed a small, practicable system any small business owner, average consumer, wholesale, or webstore own can utilize in order to reduce the time invested, stress, and redunancy that comes with the tasks. 

Many internet sites are available to those looking to get into trade or consumer product sales.  Websites such as: www.globalsources, www.tradeeasy.com, www.fuzing.com, www.aliababa.com.  And while these sites are excellent for big time procurement managers for chains like Walmart, to the new small business owner that can be as overwhelming as they are time consuming.  All of these sites require some form of user profile registeration and though they give you access to millions of suppliers around the world, shifting through this mass amount of information kills precious time... time you and I don't have.  

In order to ensure a successful small, supplier sourcing program, the first thing it takes is preparation.  
By preparation, I mean start by identifying the specifics items you would like to sell.  Shoes, Handbags, Computers etc.
