Why should you consider having WHOLESALE SURVIVAL CLUB build your company an online ecommerce website? The websites we build are packed with survival kits, survival food, tactical products, first aid kits and more. Hundreds of survival products are loaded and configured to your website. You don’t have to stock any products at your location because everything is drop shipped. You will need to provide a tax id to qualify as a dealer.
Having an online presence and/or an e-commerce store offers multiple strategic advantages for a small business, both for sales and credibility. Here’s a breakdown, especially with regard to wholesale distributor and manufacturer relationships:
Main Benefits of an Online Presence / E-commerce Store
Credibility and Professionalism
A well-designed website or online store signals that you’re serious and legitimate.
Distributors and manufacturers often check whether your business has an online footprint before approving you as a reseller or wholesale buyer.
Increased Visibility and Reach
Your store or brand is accessible 24/7 and can attract customers beyond your local area. We suggest selling to US based customers.
Helps build organic traffic through SEO, especially if you post blogs, product descriptions, or customer reviews.
Customer Convenience
Many customers expect to be able to browse and purchase online.
You can automate ordering, payments, and sometimes even customer service, although we strongly suggest a hands on approach with US based customer service.
Marketing Opportunities
You can run digital ads, collect emails, and track customer behavior.
Retargeting and email marketing become possible once customers interact with your survival gear store.
Brand Building
A website is a platform to tell your brand story, showcase your mission, and differentiate from competitors.
Helps with developing trust and long-term customer loyalty.
Data Collection & Analytics
Track what customers are buying, how often, and where they’re coming from.
This helps you improve your product offerings and target the right audiences.
Does an Online Presence Help Get Approved by Wholesale Distributors / Manufacturers?
Yes, significantly. Here’s how:
Demonstrates Business Legitimacy
Many distributors require you to have a verifiable business (EIN, resale certificate), but also check if you have a functioning website or e-commerce platform.
Shows You Have a Sales Channel
They want to know how you plan to move product, an online store shows you’re capable of selling.
If you’re selling via WooCommerce, this can be a plus. WordPress / WooCommerce websites are hightly rated.
Reduces Risk for the Supplier
If you already have a professional web presence, you’re less likely to be a fly-by-night operation. Wholesale Survival Club’s internet team will build your business a website you will be proud to own.
May Influence Minimum Order Requirements
Some suppliers may be more flexible with order minimums if they see you have a working sales funnel or website.
What Distributors Might Look For on Your Website:
Branded domain (e.g., yourbusiness.com)
Survival product listings or categories
Terms and conditions, privacy policy (for e-commerce) We help you with these things.
