ONLINE SALES

    Selling your products through A-1NetMarketings E-commerce services is easy and highly cost effective.  This page explains the details of how it works.

What is the relationship between A-1NetMarketing and me?

A-1 NetMarketing is acting as a specialized retailer of your products.  Orders are placed with us, we handle the credit card processing and relevant sales tax.  Once an order is placed and verified we send it to you by e-mail or fax to be shipped out.   You will be acting as a wholesaler shipping products directly to the customer for us (the retailer).

What does A-1 NetMarketing get from the sale?

We take 15% of the sales revenue from each order,  this covers our costs for processing the transaction and all related expenses and is our primary revenue stream.   If your products donīt sell we are not making money either.

How does this affect the prices?

You set the final price we charge the customers (just like a manufacturer giving a  suggested retail price).  You need to build in your overhead into the price.   Treat internet sales as equivalent to having a second store location,  your overhead for the"new store" is your monthly fee + 15%.  In many cases you will find that this is equivalent to or less than your current store overhead so you should be able to charge similar prices.  In other words consider this a separate business venture, the sales are not replacing sales in your store, they are incremental sales.

What about shipping costs?

In most cases you will be asked to build shipping costs into your prices.  If you choose to have your own unique store with us then you can set up shipping costs anyway you want, including having them calculated for you based on the weight of the products.

When should I ship?

As soon as possible.  We will ask you to set a time frame to ship in (48 hours for example).  We will bill the customer based on when you are expected to ship.  If there are delays in shipping simply let us know so we can inform the customer and delay billing them until you are ready.

Thatīs all there is to it, we take care of everything at the customer end of the business, all you have to do is maintain your inventory and ship the products, no computer knowledge needed.
