SMC

SMC runs hundreds of infomercials and advertisements on TV, newspapers, and in business magazines. SMC mainly deals with jewelry, giftware, and similar general items. SMC recruits vendors by telling them they can manage their own home business by selling SMC's products for more than they were bought for. Basically, SMC is a drop shipping company, and I think you should be very wary when dealing with this type of business.

Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique that retailers use to save their own space and cost by dropping all of the merchandise at a wholesale outlet. The wholesaler ships the goods directly to the customer after the purchase is made. You are responsible for selling the product to consumers and SMC will ship it out directly to your customers. SMC advertises this like a home business. They give you information on how to recruit customers and convince you that you simply have to launch a website, which they will sell you with their already-made template, and the merchandise will sell itself.

Drop shipping is a dangerous business to blindly believe in. The only person who is guaranteed money is the retailer because you are required to pay upfront before any items are shipped. Sometimes SMC makes exceptions and lets you pay as you go, but either way they will receive your investment money. Be prepared for a long spiral of disappointment if you choose to invest with SMC.

The website is no easy money making venture either. You have to pay to launch it and do your own advertising online. Advertising is never cheap, and the cost comes out of your own pocket. Unless you know the techniques involved in getting targeted traffic to your website and convert sales, you can loose a lot of money fast. Ebay and other big retail stores are already saturated with the kind of products SMC expects you to sell, so the competition makes it hard to find buyers, as well as decreases the selling price. SMC gives an estimated product resell pricing list that contains no realistic numbers. They insist you can sell your products for far more than what is feasible in Today's market.

Be prepared to find SMC's assistants calling your phone sometimes as much as once a week. They charge for advice and try to make you sign up to speak to them monthly, by telling you that they will assist your endeavors. It takes far too much work, investment, and persuasion to get consumers to buy what they don't need so no SMC assistant can magically gain you sales.

You should really think twice before getting involved in an investment that corners you. With SMC you can cancel your membership but that involves several extra steps which probably keeps some people from returning their material. However you look at it, chances are Specialty Merchandise Corporation will cost you more than you will make.

SMC seems like a reputable company and there are people who succeed with this program however, unless you are the most popular vendor at the flea market or have internet marketing skills, you don't stand a chance at getting rich quick.
