(Coronavirus Dropshipping) Important update on the situation in China and the coronavirus and how it affects
dropshippers ecommerce entrepreneurs, and anybody
Taking products from China all the way to the rest of the world
I'm going to take you through an entire update on the current situation
this week is crucial for the progression of
Dropshipping progression of factories and the coronavirus through China and how it affects our business. We're going to get into it right now
So you are informed and you know what's going on, so you can tell your customers prepare your business and build a better store
Let's find out. But before we start I want to congratulate my student Washington right here who was able to crush more than
1,400 dollars in a single day and he's doing that again and again and again one clay base
without spending money on ads
It's all completely organic traffic and I'm thinking of making a case study video training for you on how to get sales
Organically if you are interested in that make sure to comment down below organic organic
I make a special case study training here on YouTube subscribe

Washington and actually work with me and my team to take your business to the next level make sure to schedule a strategy session with
The first link in the description and stay until the end of the video for the details on that now
Let's get on to what you're here for the coronavirus and drop shipping update
The first thing I'm going to talk about is a high percentage of the workforce in China is already back to work this week
But and that's a single thing that a high percentage of the people already going back to work going back to the office
Especially with services for fulfillment like CJ drop shipping hyper SKU, they have logistics and factories open
But they're not producing
They're not at a hundred percent
So most of these factories even though they are still working they are working right now. They have their workers back
They have a high percentage of duction ready. The problem with the virus is that it's stopping a lot of different industries
So the virus not only stops the factory from working
It stops the supplier of the raw materials for the factory truck to make the products it supplies
For example, the little techy gadgets that you buy from Aliexpress and then you sell them on your Shopify store
Those have very different parts that all come from different parts of China
Different factories different suppliers different raw material companies and that all supply chain is getting affected by the virus
So even if a factory is working
It does not mean they can produce
100% and also it doesn't mean that they can produce the order volume that's typical of those factories
So if you are a drop shipper, I would not recommend. You scale massively. Feel free to test some products
Feel free to test some ads obviously make some money
But make sure to not scale and keep your customers
Aware that there is this problem and we're gonna touch on that topic right now about what customers think about
The products coming from China and how it's affecting their behavior from buying online
the second thing here that I want to talk about is the actual corona virus itself the spread of
it
The spread of the growing a virus around the world is insane
We're extremely
fast in
a cruise ship in Japan
It went from one case and that cruise ship is called the diamond princess
if you want to google it just google of diamond princess, Japan and it went up to
400
Cases in just a week from one person having the case in a cruise ship all the way up to
400 people having coronavirus
so the spread of this disease is something that pretty much scientists and experts haven't really seen before and
The problem that I mentioned in the last video is that they can spread without you having symptoms
So even if you don't have a cough, even if you don't have a fever you could be spreading it to almost everybody
so make sure that if you are traveling if you are for example with family just
Be careful. If somebody came from another country from Asia or something has been traveling a lot throughout Asia
could happen it could spread even without feeling anything so you should make sure to stay very safe and
For customers who's gonna be very important. They're gonna know this it's all over the news. It's in the headlines
so people know that this is
insanely fast and spreading very very quickly and for number third and
Extremely important note when it comes to actually selling products from China online. Is that products from China?
Will not
impact
Customer behavior or will impact slightly will slightly
impact
Customer behavior
and
Unless you sell which is also a very important topic is consumables
things you can actually eat or put on your face and
then
skincare
more applications
Something that you put on your face on your head on your body, etc
You drop it
Which is a very big
fulfillment service that I partner up with and I use and I send my students to they did a video about
Customer behavior and how it affects people buying products from China. They asked a lot of people
Hey, what do you think about the coronavirus? And how is it going to impact you buying products from China and their work?
Well, I'm not really going to be impacted by it
I'm going to keep buying products from China or at least keep buying products online
Just not things that I can touch and put on me
so if you're selling anything, for example
like skincare or any makeup products or wigs something that people can actually put on themselves or if you're yourself buying wigs or
things that you can put on yourself
I would not recommend
Selling it throughout the spirit or throughout the next one to two months to be honest
If you are selling something that people don't have to put on themselves, maybe it's something for outdoor sports
Camping or maybe you're selling things for the house like cleaning
So it doesn't necessarily have to go on you or put on your face put on your body
Then customers won't really feel bad that the virus is happening in China and you're getting products from China because not directly affecting them
they know that the virus is not going to transmit to them from the package, but make sure to
Educate your customers something very important
We've gotten some emails on a Shopify store people asking hair
Coming from China because I'm scared that I'm going to get the virus from these products, but it's just been a few customers
It's not really hugely significant. It's not going to affect your store at all. I have students just like, Washington
They're doing $1,000 a day shipping products from China and it's not affecting customer behavior
Unless you sell something that strictly affects that line of thinking of
Oh wait
This might give me the virus or if I'm going to put this on my face on my skin
Or I'm going to eat it
Then I'm gonna get the virus on a more general note the US and Canada the United States and Canada
Which is pretty far from China and they're both
Pretty much locked down in the amount of cases that they have. I think they have 15 or 16 each
I think Canada has less actually, but it's pretty much locked down. The spread hasn't been much, but they are bracing
For impact and the director of the CDC the Center for Disease
prevention or this is control of the United States said that the virus might be
Bigger than people are putting it might be really bigger than what everybody actually thinks it is and they're even canceling flights due
To this problem one flight that canceled was basically a prank one guy started screaming like hey guys
I just came back from Wuhan and maybe I have corona virus. So be careful
Don't touch me and they had to take him out of the plane take everybody out of the plane. That was in Canada
and
basically cancel the whole plane and a second one was a passenger that had symptoms of the flu or of the corona virus and somebody
Basically complaint said hey, this guy can't fly and everybody started complaining and they took out everybody on the plane. So this is real
it's a real fear that people have pay my gonna get the corona virus if I travel so make sure to
Stay updated on the news see what's happening and see how it's affecting customer psychology to it
and then the last thing that I want to touch is
customer service
is
King and I want to put this very very big here because a lot of you are
especially with Facebook are
Ignoring customer service and you're thinking out whatever if I have a few customers that don't really like my product or have lays
It's not gonna matter in long-term long-term
It's gonna hurt you a lot
and the main thing that I focus on with every single one of my businesses, for example
With consulting business here on YouTube with my Shopify stores with everything is customer satisfaction
Making sure that people are happy with your purchase
If you have a massive delay due to the coronavirus or even if you're struggling with the coronavirus tell your customers
Hey, there's a delay based on the coronavirus. We're sorry about this if you want to for example buy again from outer store
Here's a special coupon code
you can also what I was discussing with my students on a group mentoring call is that
If you are worried about Facebook customer feedback going down on your Facebook page
You can run a retargeting add to your purchases basically people have bought from your store
You can run a retargeting ad saying if they were happy for their purchase. So basically asking your customers
Hey, were you happy with your purchase? Can you fill in the survey?
And if you go to for example type form com you can find a nice customer feedback survey that you can retarget
Your purchases so when facebook retarget them
They won't have a problem with facebook and they won't have to talk about that problem to Facebook
They can talk about it to you. It's better when your customers come to you and tell you hey, I hate your product
I hate your business and set up going to Facebook and
Blocking you from Facebook getting your account back and so on
So it's very important customer service is king, especially now and always end with Facebook
Make sure to retarget your purchases people have already bought from your store with a survey to make sure they are happy if you're interested
in learning how to avoid this whole coronavirus madness and essentially how to build a better more long-term sustainable business just like
