A UK wholesaler is the best source of footwear accessories if you are selling items to customers within the UK and European Union. Because dropshipping is a comparatively less well-known concept in the UK than North America, you might face trouble finding the right UK wholesaler.

Once you do find a UK wholesaler who offers drop shipping, you hold an advantage over sellers based in the US or Canada because of the lesser number of dropship resellers in the country.

Footwear accessories is, perhaps a lesser known niche than say, CDs, fashion apparel, and computers. While technically classified under the head “apparel,” footwear accessories are rarely sold by clothes wholesalers. This product category is left to manufacturers and suppliers specializing in footwear and footwear parts. So why start a business in this lesser known niche?

The first reason is that foot accessories are not really as obscure a product category as one might imagine. Marketed rightly, you can easily find customers looking to save money on shoe replacements or buyers who want to convert their plain, worn out shoes into fashion statements. ...
... Do-it-yourself styling is the norm rather than exception and you will always find buyers interested in footwear accessories that allow them to stand apart from the crowd.

Elaborate aglets, shoelaces, and deubres have always been a fashion connoisseur’s dream, while spurs, galoshes, gaiters, and shoehorns serve more utilitarian requirements. Cleaning and maintenance products for shoes are also a popular sub-niche. You will not lack a market for this product category, given that few merchants specialize in footwear accessories on eBay.

Another reason for specializing in this narrow category is reduced competition. The smaller your niche, the lesser the number of sellers in it. It is easier to target web traffic to a narrow niche because of search engine mechanisms. In addition, the visitors to your site have a greater chance of “conversion” to customers because they are probably already searching for something specific.

A UK wholesaler for footwear accessories is usually difficult to find and locate if you are new to the business and do not have the vast networking abilities required for ferreting out business opportunities, particularly if you run your business from home, through your laptop. This is where a drop shipping directory helps.

Suppliers from All over the UK

How do you find dropshippers whose products match your requirements when distance prohibits you from searching too far? For example, Northamptonshire has traditionally been known for its classy shoes and shoe accessories. In the past, the reseller had to physically travel to the location or correspond through letters or phone to order products. Now, you can find the contact details, including website address, of UK wholesalers from Northamptonshire as well as various other locations in the country, just by going through these online lists. Distance is no longer a constraint. By choosing merchants based on location, you may even save on shipping.

Tips and Advice

Most people who sell products on eBay or start retailing products on a dropship basis are ordinary professionals, homemakers, students, and senior citizens. They do not necessarily have specialization in marketing and business management. A few pointers to starting a business, running the show, and keeping out of trouble are always useful. Look for trade directories that offer this advice.

Many trade directories found online, unfortunately, are nothing but scam, created to cheat buyers into paying large amounts of money for what is essentially irrelevant, incomplete, and outdated information. Rather than risk your money (and reputation) by using such directories, look up free online directories that contain verified trade information such as merchant contact details, name, and website url.
