The original idea behind this service goes back to the dropshipping trade of the 1950s and experienced a recent boom, not least due to online trading. On Nextrade, dropshipping now offers retailers an optimal service: The brands take care of shipping the products directly to the end customer. They thus offer stores individual purchasing conditions and provide them with all relevant product data. In this way, they enable stationary retailers to look for a product directly on Nextrade and together with the customer, order it, and send it directly to the customer. This reduces any possible loss of time and makes convenience a reality for the customer. This makes the platform even more attractive for the stationary retail trade.
"The dropshipping function is a real added value for our customers, as it can be perfectly integrated into the stationary business. The retailer has access to the brand's entire product range. This means that the service for the end customer can be optimized. Also, the retailer together with the brand use the entire sales potential," says Nicolaus Gedat, Managing Director of nmedia.
Brands wishing to participate in dropshipping are welcome to contact Nextrade (contact@nextrade.market). Buyers can simply click on dropshipping stores in the navigation at www.nextrade.market, make an inquiry with the brand, agree on conditions and have the product shipped directly to the end customer.
