Import Export Business opportunities for small companies

Friday, February 29th, 2008

The key to a successful Import / Export business is to buy in bulk at a low price and sell it at a profit. Many have gone the way of importing goods from countries where the production cost is low, thus resulting in cheaper products. In order to stay competitive, it only makes sense to import in very large quantities - something which the small to medium companies cannot afford to do. Then there is also the risk of over-stocking or out-dated products.

Those who import in large quantities will face this problem sooner or later. Either they end up with ex-stock they can’t get rid off, or they need to clear the space for the latest batch. Whatever the reason might be, bottom line is they need to get rid of their stock and are sometimes willing to release these at prices way below cost. This is a good opportunity to make a quick buck by buying in lots and selling them on Online Auction Sites like Ebay. The problem is to know when and where such opportunities arise.

While doing a search for such opportunities, I came across this site www.merchandizeliquidators.com. When major importers or distributors want to get rid of old stock, they look for Merchandise Liquidators. These guys by the stock in lots re-package and resell them back to anyone interested. Take note that while these might be out-dated products, most are as good as new and are going at Prices Below Cost! Selling them at a profit should not be a problem.

Their online store is well stocked with a wide range of products like designer clothes for men, women and even children, jewelry, cosmetics, lingerie, toys, shoes, furniture and even electronics going at wholesale prices. This is one site I will be keeping my eye on for the right bargain. To give you an idea of some of their deals, see below.

Glow period for glow in the dark products

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

Glow in the dark in different colorsGlow in the dark in different colorsGlow in the dark in different colorsGlow in the dark products need to be charged by exposure to light in order to work. Once brought to a suitable light source, they begin to absorb this light energy. But the light energy is not stored in it like rechargeable batteries. Instead the light energy is absorbed and released at the same time. This release of light can only be seen in the dark. Hence the term “Glow in the Dark.”

Glow period (in hours) for our glow powders (the raw material), is displayed on our site at darkniteglow.com. This period refers to how long the products can glow in the dark, after a full charge.

This is where the confusion starts. Assuming you leave a glow product with the stated glow time of 8 hours, outdoors in the sun. Obviouslly it is going to get fully charged and glow for the stated period, provided it is brought in a dark place immediately. But if it is left outdoors, it would start discharging if the sun is blocked by clouds or during the time it takes for the sun to set. By the time the sun has completely set and it is dark, the glow product could have discharged half its light energy.

The main thing to take note off is that the glow period starts the moment the glow product is brought into a dark environment. Glow lifespan is a different topic altogether. Lifespan of the glowing effect is over 15 years. Meaning, you can re-charge it over and over again.

Basic Web hosting package cheap

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

100MB Server space with 100MB Data Transfer going for $5 per month. Hosting also comes with a dedicated IP address. A plus as most hosting packages in that price range, comes with a shared IP address.

Difference between a dedicated IP address and a Shared one is like having a direct entrance to your house as compared with a shared entrance with all your neighbours. Now if one of your neighbours is a criminal, you would be a suspect too, since you all share the same entrance.

So if you are on a shared IP address and if there is another site hosting porn or some other illegal stuff on the same IP address, your site will be associated with porn or whatever illegal stuff and it would face the same blackmarks. Most hosts offer really cheap hosting without mentioning this important fact.

If you can find another host offering a cheaper hosting package than ours, check whether it is on a shared or Dedicated IP address first.
