Welcome to the Business of eCommerce. The show that helps eCommerce retailers start launch and grow the eCommerce business. And I want to talk about today, the four different methods of drop shipping. What I realized is talking with different users and different online forums is drop shipping is a very, um, confusing term where a lot of folks seem to have one method in mind. When they're speaking about that method, they usually kind of push that as the, that is the method that is drop shipping. And I think it's kind of helpful to map out these different discreet types of drop shipping. I've kind of mapped out as four different types. The fourth is less common. So I think that's an interesting one to talk about. Well, it's kind of go through each one, go through a pros and cons. Why? I think, you know, each one definitely has its benefits and let's kind of talk about each.

So number one, and a lot of blogs, we'll talk about this as drop shipping, but retail arbitrage is kind of a niche inside of drop shipping. Today's episode is sponsored by drip, drip. It's a world's first e-commerce CRM and a tool that I personally use for email marketing and automation. Now, if you're running an eCommerce store, you need to have drip to try. And here's why drip offers one-click integrations for both Shopify and Magento. There's robust segmentation, personalization, and revenue dashboards. To give you an overview of how your automation emails are performing. One of my favorite features of drip is the visual workflow builder. It gives you a super easy way to build out your automation world visually and see the entire process. It lets you get started quickly, but also build very complex automation rules. It's powerful, but also easy to learn. Unlike a lot of email tools that offer the same type of automation to get a demo of drip today, you can go head over to drip.com/boe that's drip.com/b O E.
