I've got two manufacturing companies in the US doing BtoB wholesale biz. 15-20k sq ft facilities each, high production capability. I'm thinking of setting up a separate drop ship/affiliate marketing operation for them to let all the net entrepreneurs out there build sales and make money. The products are frozen gourmet desserts(cheesecakes, pies, cookie dough etc..) and quality candles(think Madonna/Elton John/Neiman Marcus) but also do lower price as well for fundraising industry. We would have the mfg and drop ship capability or bulk pack/ship to those that do their own fulfillment. We would provide stock photography of the products and descriptions.
Would probably set up a website template that can be replicated for affiliates.
Anyone have input or resources on starting up affiliate/drop shipping operations from a manufacturers point of view? What price points work best for online products? How to handle ordering and billing and paying commissions? What are average/enticing commissions for partners? Where to acquire affiliate partner for these type products? Affiliate/dropship/commission software solutions? (run quickbooks 10.0 for mfg so maybe some plugins avail) etc...
Thanks
