Here are a few ramblings of what I am thinking about these three things at the moment.

What does marketing have to do with dropshipping?  After just getting back from attending PubCon 2006 in Las Vegas (the biggest search engine marketing conference of the year) it has everything to do with it if you own an ecommerce store that sells products online.  No matter what kind of products you sell, or what kind of prices you have if you are not able to market the site and get good traffic then its all a waste.

There was one supplier company that attended the conference and in my opinion did not take advantage of all of the people surrounding them.  Internet businesses are not going away and its only going to be getting bigger.  More and more local companies are going to need to get on the internet bandwagon if they are going to succeed.

Finding suppliers is going to get more difficult as more and more people start setting up their internet businesses.  Working with a company that stays on top of industry trends - even when it comes to dropshipping trends and internet marketing can make a huge difference.

Stay on top of the trends, stay on top of whats hot.  Make sure you are always doing everything you can to do more and establish better relationships and keep up on your marketing and what it takes to stay on top of the search engines.

I am going to start diving more deeper into marketing trends online, and helping those that read this blog with the SEO marketing aspects as well as the dropshipping side of things.  I really want this blog to become a wealth of information.  Please feel free to submit any questions you may ever have!
