If you’ve been in the retail world for a while, you’ve probably heard of the term “drop shipping”- especially with everyone jumping on the ecommerce bandwagon after the dawn of the Covid-19 pandemic.
When your business handles perfumes- a fragile product needed to be handled delicately, the term can seem a little intimidating, so we’re here to clear your doubts.
What is drop shipping?
Drop shipping is the process of taking a product to a consumer on behalf of a retailer. Think of it this way- people buy the perfumes from you, but we deliver it to them.
It seems quite simple to understand, but why should you choose us?
To answer that question, we’ve decided to break down the 4 reasons why you should choose to drop ship with PerfumeNCologne.
1. Zero inventory

Selling perfumes online is already a risky business- especially since many people are reluctant to buy fragrances they cannot smell through their screens. This makes it increasingly difficult for new perfume retailers to enter the business.
Storing your own inventory can produce a plethora of extra costs, from maintenance and repairs to actually investing in the products themselves. This means that retailers are liable to compensate for the products damaged under their care, and often face the problem of excess stock. When you’re just starting out or do not carry out perfume retail on a large scale- this risks can severely disrupt your business’ progress.
This is due to the fact that retailers cannot definitely predict the popularity and demand of some of the products they sell- which means they essentially set themselves up for a possible loss.
However, with PerfumeNCologne drop shipping, you invest in perfumes as the demand comes in- meaning you’ll never have to deal with excess inventory. This way, you don’t have to risk paying for a stock of inventory that won’t sell.
2. Reduce costs
As aforementioned, choosing to have your own inventory means risking the possibility of a loss through excess stock and a lack of demand. However, when you choose to invest in fragrances for your customers as the demand comes in, you’ll find that your business begins to spend its money more efficiently, and end up saving much more.
Apart from that, many retailers find that investing in shipping proves to be expensive, and is often a cost that is too big for many smaller perfume retailers to bear.
If there’s one thing common in all online shoppers, it’s a reluctancy to pay for shipping. We’ve all faced it- we add a few things to our cart and we’re ready to pay, but the 20 dollar shipping fee makes us change our mind.
However, as we’ve been in the industry for over a decade and have the resources to cut our shipping costs in half, we are able to offer our retailers extremely low shipping prices and remove this issue.
In fact, our shipping prices prove to be comparatively more affordable in the long run- meaning your customers are less likely to have their mind changed by a few dollars too many.
3. Leave the hassle of packing and shipping to someone else

From hiring staff and managing the packaging for your deliveries to actually sourcing reliable couriers to carry them out, this part of the online delivery process can be the most tiring. However, with our drop shipping- we’ll handle this for you.
Apart from that, PerfumeNCologne allows you to make immediate deliveries within the US. This may seem unlikely considering the fact that cheap shipping and extremely slow deliveries seem to go hand in hand, but our resources make it such that this is not the case. With us, you’ll be giving your customers the satisfaction of the fastest shipping at the lowest rates.

4. Easily expand your range
Investing in the stock of a product is always risky due to inconsistencies and variations in consumer taste and preference. Of course, it goes without saying that investing in new products doesn’t make it any easier. Thus, there is a tendency for many perfume retailers to stick to the same fragrances that they know sell, and never expand to anything else.
However, by choosing PerfumeNCologne, our retailers have access to over 4000 perfume products and testers from various brands that include a wide range of styles and prices- some of which even come with their own matching gift sets. This allows retailers to have access to a variety of products as and when needed without having to invest in them.
Overall, our end goal is to make it easier for perfume retailers to gain profit in the most convenient way possible, and we believe that drop shipping is one of the many stones that paves the way to doing so.
With that, we come to the end of our top 4 reasons to drop ship with us. Do you want your business to be a part of the perfume scene? Just reach out, and we’ll help you get there.
