Reverb DropShipping
Founded in 2013 as an extension to the music store Chicago Music Exchange, reverb is a marketplace for new, used and vintage musical instruments and equipment. Reverb offers a price guide for products based on their real time transactional data, and, as of August 2019, belongs to Etsy, who bought it for $275 million.
How is Reverb different from other shopping carts?
As a specialist marketplace, Reverb has a smaller audience, but a much greater attachment with a prequalified audience.
The business prioritises musicians as much as possible, and they have approximately 85% musicians in their customer service team to ensure that the advice you and your customers receive is based on real world experience. They also invest in videos and content relevant to their target market.
Why DropShip with Reverb?
Because it’s a targeted niche, offering the right products on Reverb should give a great return – people are prequalifying themselves as interested in purchasing by clicking on the link!
This, in addition to their customer service and audience engagement gives you a head start on building a rapport with your sellers as you offer quality and value.
Pros and Cons of Reverb DropShipping
If you have the right products, Reverb is an outstanding sales channel to sell on. You’ll be selling to a pre-selected audience for improved engagement, and there is fantastic customer service and engagement. This will support your sales, and reduce the need for you to answer questions from customers.
The main issue with DropShipping on Reverb is that you’ll be working with a much smaller total market as it’s a specialised marketplace. Be sure you know your products and target market!
