An Interview with a WAHM

Interview With:

Mom's Name Stefanie Prose
Mom's Business Challenge Services Fundraising
Url http://groups.msn.com/WorkinFromHomeLovinIt

Q. Mom, what is your business? Tell us a little bit about it.
A. I am a Programs and Fundraising Rep for a company called Challenge Services.
I work from home so that I can be with my family and work around their busy
schedules. I help schools and sports teams raise money for programs/activities/
uniforms/new equipment/new playgrounds, you name it.

Q. How long has this business been around?
A. Since 1972.

Q. Are you happy with your business or is there something different you
would like to do or add to your business?

A.The ONLY thing I would change is that cookie dough orders have to be delivered
by a truck on dry ice so I go to schools and label and organize it there rather than
with Brochure Sells it already gets delivered to the schools labeled by teacher/child's
name & we are one of the only company's that labels it PER CUSTOMER too.
They are working diligently to get the cookie dough delivered like this too, just hasn't
quite happened yet. Other than that I love it.

Q. How do you feel your business can benefit others?
A. Schools/PTA's/ PTO's/sports teams rely on fundraisers to raise money for new equipment,
playgrounds, balls, programs to benefit the kids. I feel that I am offering a service that helps
schools and children better themselves by raising money for new & informative programs and
sports are so important for children to learn basic rules of getting along with others & team work.


Q. Do you feel like your business is a success in your eyes. Is this the
business that truly makes you happy?

A. Absolutely! I have been looking for a wah business since I was pregnant with my oldest
who turned 8 today (1/24). I have done other things from the house and made a small amount
of money, but didn't TRULY enjoy it. My involvement in my children's school on a daily basis is
what brought me to the realization that I just love helping kids.

Q. What advice can you give to other moms that want to work from home?
A.
I would have to say the most important thing to keep in mind is, do something that makes
you happy. If you don't truly enjoy what you are trying to sell/make you will not be successful.
It will feel more like a chore than a business. Your family will not benefit from from your home-based
business if you are miserable, being happy at home is part of the reason to work from home.
Remember to set a schedule, do not work 24 hours of the day. Working from home gives you the
opportunity to be with your family, do it. Stay organized. Tax time is a killer if you have not kept
up with your books and paperwork. Do NOT wait until the last minute. Something I do to stay positive
during the slower times is I post positive and inspirational messages on the wall above my computer.
I also post pictures that my children have drawn for me. Another important posting is "Are you making
time for your marriage?" This was important for me to remember just because the kids are in bed
doesn't mean I need to continue working like a dog. Spend time with your spouse. All of these things
help me keep a smile, remember to keep my chin up and strive for success.

How To Use Drop Shipping To Secure Your Niche Business
By Brad Beiermann Ph.D., Hienote Inc.

Have you ever used the words 'drop ship" or 'drop shipper" in a sentence before?
These words have both become extremely popular in terms of the online business
world. Why? There are now thousands of small e-commerce retail websites starting
up each day that follow the stockless retail business model. In addition, there have
been many auction sellers who have embraced the stockless model by using drop shippers.
These types of businesses sell product online but do not carry any actual inventory. When
a customer places an order on their site, the site company then places an order to a drop
shipper. In turn, the drop shipper sends the product to the site's end customer.

The Situation You Should Avoid

With so many of these small businesses coming online, the competition for customers has
grown intense. Often the customer can find various e-commerce sites offering the same
exact products as each other. The various sites might even be using the same drop shipping
company. So, this can commonly set the stage of a price war between sites. If they are all
using the same drop shipper, they are all bound to the same product costs. Inherently, many
customers go for the less expensive price if they feel they can get the exact same product
from a different site at a lesser price. The site that wins the customer with the low price might
have made nothing in terms of profit margin. The site, as well as other sites, might also be bound
to the same stocking issues. For example, the drop shipper might be out of stock for a particular
item. This is why a customer can find multiple sites with identical product, and yet, they are all
out of stock for a particular item. Again, this stems back to everyone using the same drop
shipping company.

A Remedy You Should Consider

As a stockless retailer, you will want to avoid the situations as described above. How can the
risk of these situations be avoided? The solution can sometimes be found in how well you leverage
drop shippers for your niche business. There are several ways to leverage your drop shippers to
give you an edge in the marketplace. Let's explore how a drop shipping company could help you.

Three Powerful Techniques You Should Know…

By using a little bit of research and creativity, your drop shippers can become a significant
advantage for you in the market place. Consider these three tips:

Diversify & Use Obscure Drop Shippers. This is like getting a product from an unlikely source. For
example, let's assume we sell brass and copper nautical gifts for our site. Should we seek drop
shippers with nautical related gifts? Not necessarily. You might want to check out a drop shipper
that primarily stocks books. They might have metal book ends with a nautical theme. This might be
an obscure product for them to carry typically. They may only offer just the one kind of set.
However, this is a good hidden product source as it would be a source other competing sites would
easily over look.

Place A Product Request To The Drop Shipper. Drop shippers are always looking for ideas on what
they should be stocking. If there is something they do not have, ask them for it. If they start carrying
the item, you have the early word and head start on the market. You might even consider having them
source this product exclusively for your business if it does extremely well. Most of the time, you have
to have a minimum number of sales on a product to get an exclusive right.

Limit Your Selection From A Drop Shipper. A good practice can be to select only one or two items from
a drop shipper that fits your niche. By limiting your selection from each drop shipper you can have a
product portfolio that is the needle in a haystack for other business to find and offer. Drop shippers
sometimes have thousands of products. They may have many items that fit your niche, but avoid
sourcing more than two items at a time from this particular drop shipper. This helps you minimize
your risk of having a duplicate product portfolio another site might be offering. This is particularly
true if the majority of their product come from only one or two drop shippers.
