Now I am, of course, as many of you know, I'm recording this live and our Facebook group, but I'm also gon na, be saving a copy for my youtube channel. So I will, if you're, watching this on YouTube, I'm gon na have a link over to the Facebook group. If you would like to join us over at Facebook, this is really important is where you create content, and you multi-purpose it for different things. So saving this video is a good idea. I'Ve been doing these for about two weeks now and yeah. So hopefully you can watch this on our YouTube channel or maybe live in our start, a hair business, Facebook group. So today's topic, we're gon na, be talking about wholesale or drop shipping for your hair extension business. This has always been a hot topic with a lot of our clients, a lot of people that start out there.this like oh, my god, I got ta you know. Do everything myself I got ta have full control. You know. I understand that and that's it's a it's a good idea to some extent, but there's a lot of limitations with that the biggest limitation is budget. So you know we're gon na get into talking about that. The time it takes where you should be really working on growing your business, you know that's really important, so we're going to talk about that as well, closer to the end of the video comparing what's gon na really work best, but first we should get into talking About what is dropshipping so there's a lot of buzz behind it. Shopify has made it uber popular and made it really easy to get into the drop shipping business with some of the apps that were created by Shopify or not by Shopify by third parties, and actually Shopify now bought one of the most popular ones, obear low, where It'S drop shipping items from mostly from China. A lot of the shipping is really slow. It'S a packaged shipping! That'S why? What are something like really just like showing up in three weeks, I mean you can't really do that with hair. So you know job shipping from the US is always the best idea. So drop shipping, it's a pretty simple concept, and it is where you have your online store or you can even sell in person technically with drop shipping. You'Re gon na have to have the item shipped: it's where you're accepting payment, usually on a website or like a marketplace or eBay Amazon, something like that where you're accepting payment for product, but you don't actually stock the products. So these products are packed and shipped by a third party. You know it's real basic concept. So that way, you know you don't have to hold the inventory. You don't have to pack and ship the orders. If you're on a town you know are on vacation. You know you can still process your orders: private label extensions. We created our first drop shipping system back in 2016. It'S worked out really really well and created an additional one, with a Shopify partnership in 2018 and we're gon na get into that as well. So before we do that now that you know what drop shipping is, you know let's talk about what it is: purchasing wholesale or buying hair in bulk, so usually working with a vendor. If you want the best deals, you're gon na have to spend money. You know what's what's helped make private label extensions. Successful. Is we've utilized not only our own brand, but thousands of other brands that we dropship for to be able to get the best products and pricing for our clients and ourselves as well? And it's worked out pretty phenomenal. That'S how we have you know over time have actually been able to lower the pricing on a lot of products opposed to raising the prices. Our services have gotten a lot better over the years as we tweaked everything. So you know having those relationships can be tough, though, because you know they're, not all the best hosts of vendors, especially overseas, are honest or good to do business with we've. Definitely over the years. You know: we've have plenty of horror stories about working with different vendors, so usually just wholesale is buying in bulk. It'S not just buying like five bundles, something like that is generally in the thousands of what you're spending to get the best pricing. We do have a wholesale system that I can show you real, quick if you're, if you are interested in whole-cell hair - let's see here so you can see here. This is private label wholesale I'll, have a link in the description or comments, so private label wholesale is basically our manufacturer direct solution. It'S worked out really really well for our clients. You can purchase three different levels of hair as far as quality goes with over twenty different styles. Oh, I guess I'm not logged in. If I was logged in see it's actually a lot of people like this, because it's new page and you're not on if you're not there like if you're, not logged in, you, can't actually see all the products and pricing and the goal is to have this gateway. So that way, your clients or excuse me, your customers can't buy at these prices with the minimum. The minimum is five hundred dollars for this system, but it is really really fantastic, so you can just go to join now. If you want to get the price list for that, you can always just use the price list tab here and you can just put in your information and download the price list. I mean the pricing is phenomenal, guys phenomenal. So I think you'd be really really happy with this system. It'S proven products we've sold over 20 million dollars of this products in the last few years. That'S all very well documented. I think that you know it's a great system and basically this is just kind of like a gateway to amazing products and pricing. So that's private label wholesale. So, let's go into if you're interested in drop shipping, we have a system called dropship bundles. That'S what we started, what I mentioned earlier, that's what we started back in 2016 drop ship bundles works with any platform you basically, once you have a membership, and we verify that you are who you are. You can login and as you're getting orders on any website platform, you can log in and put your information in, and then we will pack and ship the orders from you to your clients. So with this system, we also have branding options where we'll have like a bin for you and you get a branding number and we will actually tag with like hang tags or you know, if you have custom bonnets or a lot of other branding products we offer Or you can send us products but make sure you check with us before you send some people have been sending this big box of stuff. We had to set it back. You can only send so much at a time vest, but if you have like a thank you card or something else, you can put all that information. You can put all that information or all those products inside the bin. While we it for you and then you know, as you're ordering you put in your branding number and then our team will go to your bin look inside and see you know if you have lash labels for the lashes well label the lashes for you. Well, you know the silky bags with your logo on it, it's very, very, very popular, so that's worked out really well for a lot of clients. Our goal is to make the orders go to your clients and look as amazing as possible, we're in this together, because if we can help you sell more hair, then we all win at the end of the day, so dropship bundles, it has a ton ton. Ton of information here guys, you know you can go here to start here. There'S you know the whole guide of all the products, everything else you can watch what it is. You know we also offer websites here. So if you're looking for a website for Shopify or WordPress, you can find all that all the memberships you can download the pricing find out more about custom branding, there's so much information on here. So much information. I mean if you're really interested in this, make sure you're spending time doing your research and finding as much information as possible, because a lot of people just kind of rush into this without really doing any research at all research. Other companies. You know we we've been around doing job shipping since 2016. We'Ve always improved our systems and services and will continue to do so. So I think it's been a pretty awesome platform and a lot of people ton of people use it, especially for the websites. So it's worked out pretty pretty well so back in 2018 we created a new system called dropship Beauty. Now job ship Beauty is actually a Shopify app. We are a hair partner with Shopify, so I've actually personally been to the Shopify headquarters, had meetings with them, convinced them that hair extensions selling, hair extensions on Shopify is a good idea, so we actually have the dropship Beauty app. We call a dropship Beauty because we are planning on adding additional products, not just hair and lashes, more for the beauty industry, okay, so the difference between dropship beauty and dropship bundles. Well, let me go into jobs, your beauty first, so job ship beauty is the most advanced, seamless way to sell hair extensions online period. The app is phenomenal and I'll. Tell you how it works say you have your Shopify site set up. You have the dropship Beauty app. The dropship Beauty app also allows you to import all the products into the store in a snap. Okay, so setting up a store is really really easy with dropship beauty or we have a service. I believe it's only $ 25, we'll import all the products for you set up the categories the whole deal, then some basic designs you're ready to go. We also have on the dropship bundles website, which I'll have links to all this in below. We do have the website templates for you, it's a great way to get started very cost effective. Basically, we've taken all the struggles for getting in the hair business and and figured out a way to make it easier for our clients. So, what's great about dropship beauty is the order process is a lot more seamless than dropship bundles. So you have your website set up and say you know somebody orders on your website. Let'S just call her Jane, so Jane orders on your website. So when that happens, that sends the order into our dropship beauty app. Basically, all you have to do at this point is login to the dropship Beauty app. We already have your credit card information save just like Amazon and everybody else. You just click that order. You hit pay and you've paid for the order. Basically, you're done. That'S all you have to do what happens next. Is that order is sent to our shipping system? That'S where our team, who ships six days a week, will pack and ship your order with your branding. If you have it to your customer okay, once we pack and ship the order, the tracking number goes from our shipping system to the dropship Beauty, app the job ship Beauty app to your Shopify store. Okay, all seamless! It'S all done automatically you not to worry about any of this. Your Shopify store will then send an email from your store to Jane, saying, hey Jane. This is you know, XYZ beauty. Your order has shipped here. Is your tracking information you're done guys? It is incredibly easy to use if you have to process ten orders, you can click all the orders and you know you can go from there. So this is dropship beauty, app I'll, have a link in the description. It'S really really easy to use. It'S been absolutely amazing, amazing, amazing, and then, of course, you know we have it linked over to Shopify. So if you need a Shopify store, this works out really really well. So that is the dropship beauty app now you might want to know. What'S the difference between dropship, bundles and dropship beauty, exact same products, exact same pricing, the main difference here is the order process the order process with dropship bundles our original system. It is a little bit more manual, so you have to go back into the dropship bundle system and recreate the order, unlike dropship beauty, where the orders already created for you in the dropship Beauty system, so dropship beauty to process. Ten orders takes 30 seconds and job ship bundles takes about one minute per order, probably to make sure that you have everything set up correctly. Okay, so that's the main difference, but dropship Beauty only works with Shopify, where dropship bundles still technically works with Shopify. But if you're going to do job, shipping use the dropship Beauty app, but it works with everything else. So a big question that a lot of people ask is say: hey guys, you know: hey Mikey, you know I really want to be in the hair business. Should i wholesale or should I drop ship? That'S a great question. I would say that our most successful clients once they get going, they do a little bit of both honestly people, know they're in the industry they like to have some hair on hand. You know if you get the hair off private label wholesale, it's gon na save you money opposed to drop shipping, and that's because you know for the orders that were dropped Chipping from here in atlanta. It takes a lot of time when the orders come in. We have to unpack everything you know where we're picking small orders we're adding branding. You know we have labels a lot of labor, there's a lot involved in that, so the pricing has to be a little higher opposed to ordering direct from us overseas and being shipped direct to you and you doing all the work. So that's something you have to consider if you're, just starting out and you're new in the industry, I would say, maybe have a few bundles on hand. That'S always a good idea. If you want to do that, of course, you can always go to our main web site where it all started and that's private label extensions com. So you know here's private label, it has all the different products and everything else that you can imagine. So if you want to just order some basic samples, this is a good place to do it private little extensions. You know. Obviously it's it's been really worked out really well for us and our clients. Clients are pretty happy, so you know that's private little extensions. Just a good idea, if you just want to have some samples on hand, because sometimes you might meet someone that might will order online, but they just want to see it or you want to do some photo shoots or you want to just make some videos stuff. Like that, you're gon na need some some hair on hand. You don't want no hair. Cuz people are gon na. Be like wait. Is this a real business? You want to have some videos and promo stuff with you. You know with this, so you know that's uh. That'S something you need to consider is having at least a little bit of hair on hands. So you know, that's really, that's gon na be the real thing as far as what you should do have a little bit of both, but it's gon na save you a ton of money in the beginning, not that I don't want you to buy a ton of Hair, I just don't want you to be, I don't like our clients to buy a ton of hair and then it just sit there. And then you know when orders come in, it's not exactly what they have on hand and they have to order other stuff and they're getting frustrated. We want to have a cost-efficient way for our clients to run their hair extension, business and drop shipping being in the USA, us being in the USA. Is it's a pretty big benefit so take some time, though, to kind of get the full gist of it. So if you're, just starting out in the hair extent an industry or want to get started, there's tons of information on private label extensions and dropship bundles. There is so much we've. We have so much information about how to get started. You know marketing tips. Of course, our Facebook groups start a hair business. Facebook group. I have a link in that. If you're watching this on youtube, you know tons of people it's over 30,000 members and if you're, one of our clients, you can get in one of our new services or systems, education systems and that's the hair business masterclass, that's actually starting. This is recorded on the 27th and the master class is starting on April 1st. So we're super excited about that. So yeah we're pretty excited about all this. You know some people have a few questions. Let'S, let's see here, a facebook user asked any thirteen by six curly wigs. Yes, we do. I think you can order that on. Let'S take a look here, I think you can order that on private label wigs, I would check private label wigs I'll, put a link in the comments. That'S our new, our new system for basically creating your own wig all sewing machine method. It'S pretty! It'S pretty awesome. Everyone that's try to so far, really likes it. It'S something kind of new. So, as you can see here, this is private label. Wigs. You can start customizing a wig build a custom, wig yeah. I got to create another video on this too, but you can go through here and create your own custom wig. You know we will be adding more wigs to both wholesale and job shipping and yeah. So that's actually worked out really. Well, I think someone asked: can I switch over if you're, switching up from maybe WordPress to Shopify or shop five WordPress? We have those systems in place on the website, so go to dropship bundles. You can find out about that. Let'S see somebody else asks since the site change. I can't log in to private label extensions and that's because the whole site and it's brand-new, we sent out emails to all the people that had accounts and basically allows you to create a new account. So all you have to do is sign up for new account and we have rewards on private level extensions. So we're super excited about the reward system, because the rewards guys people are people are, you know, they're they're, definitely getting in all these rewards. Let'S see if I have it on here, I don't have the link we're still building out a lot of the navigation on private little extensions. It'S such a big process. We had about 1,500 pages, we had to move over, actually, maybe even more so it's been. It'S been pretty crazy, let's see here so someone else just asked once we purchased the Shopify website. Do we need to send over our information to verify who we are, or once we complete, that the form sent to us and the email then so, basically, within with the Shopify sites, we also verify you. We verify you within dropship beauty, so job ship Beauty before we ship anything. You you'd go through a verification process there. So once you log into drops your beauty, you're gon na, have like this big bar across the front that says hey, you need to be verified, so that's something that you will have to that's something that you have to do before. We start shipping, your orders. You know the hair extension industry. Unfortunately, some people are trying to be a little crazy with it with some of these scams and other stuff - and you know it's annoying see - I sign it with ple dropship beauty, yeah yeah. So if you order from private label wholesale, that's gon na, be I mean the pricing is manufacturer, manufacturer direct pricing. We basically have set ourselves up overseas in China and work with all the manufacturers. Private label wholesale is really just a technology site. This really all it is, so your pricing I mean bundles, are it I don't even remember. With the start at prices, you can download a price list. The minimum order is five hundred dollars. It is payments only via PayPal, confirm payments, so yeah, that's it with the wholesale. That'S pretty good. Let'S see and you use the clearance items to rewards programmers awesome. Can you and you can use yes, so the clearance items we have a clearance sale right now on private little extensions? That'S pretty awesome and people. People are loving the rewards and the reason why I like the rewards is the rewards. Are you can earn them both in our Atlanta showroom and online? So if you've ordered a lot online and say you come visit us in Atlanta, you can actually use the rewards in the store, so it all it all comes together to say so. Can we hope in other people, yeah with private label with private label extensions? Excuse me: private label wholesale. You basically can easily. I mean easily wholesale to other people. You will need to have it shipped to you and then you will need a ship it to your client, so private label wholesale is not a drop shipping system. It'S only shipped. The PayPal confirmed accounts in addresses, so you won't be adding all these different things to your to your PayPal. Account you're, not gon na, be adding all your clients, let's see. So if you have a question about your order, history, all your emails, you can check all your emails or you can always email us if you need an order history, so that's not going to be on the new site. Unfortunately, we tried multiple times and moving all the orders over, but it was like it was over a hundred thousand orders and it was just so much data that it just wouldn't move over. Unfortunately, I mean we're very thankful for the over a hundred thousand orders, but trying to integrate that it just this system just didn't work it just kept failing and failing. We tried for like dejesus a little frustrating, but if you need that, just reach out to customer service can rewards be stacked. Let'S see you know it, I'm not a hundred percent sure you you can earn up to it. You get better value by saving up the rewards and using the coupons I haven't tried using multiple because basically creates a coupon and you use the rewards. I haven't tried that yet so yeah and can I ship my own hair with Shopify? You can ship your own hair with Shopify. If you don't want to use the job ship Beauty app be be ready to send in. You know a bunch of information to Shopify for the Shopify payment system, because there's still a little leery about still a little leery about working with hair brands. If you're with dropship beauty, you know you pretty much have a green light just because of our relationship with them. So yeah you can do that but uh. So I hopefully you guys were on you know going on about twenty four minutes here. It'S a pretty good session level of the comments and interaction, and once again, I'm gon na be putting this on my youtube channel, which, if you're in the Facebook group I'll link over, we have just a couple videos. But I need to get a couple videos going over there cuz, you know YouTube is life, especially because we all know everyone should be staying home now and hanging out. So it's a perfect time to watch some videos and educate yourself about your hair business. So that's it for today guys I might be back on Saturday. So let's see how it goes. Thank you very much for watching and if you're in that master class, that master class is gon na, be awesome, so so excited about launching that alright, thanks guys,
