Hey guys, newbie here!

I am an Entrepreneur & Digital Marketing Consultant with many years experience.

I want to launch a website in the next 2 weeks or so selling Christmas products, from lights to decorations etc. Am I too late?

Any suppliers out there willing to give me a hand?

Many thanks

Hi Christmas2012,

Welcome to Wholesale Forum

For a large range of Christmas products have a look at the following UK drop shipper:

• Bonnington Plastics Ltd - Festive

You can also start sourcing Christmas products like home decorations and novelty from the following UK gifts and gift ware drop shippers:

• "Christmas" | Ancient Wisdom Drop Shipping | Drop Ship Gifts
• Dropship Christmas - Puckator Dropshipping

If you want to find many more verified UK and EU drop shippers of Christmas products, try using the two largest UK online trade directories of verified drop ship suppliers eSources and Wholesale Deals. Both list tens of thousands of verified wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers and drop shippers.

Have a look at the following sources:

UK Drop Shippers of Christmas Products

• Christmas Dropshippers and Dropshipping Wholesale Suppliers in UK - Christmas Wholesale Dropshipper & Dropshipping Directory

Global Drop Shippers of Christmas Products

• Christmas Dropshippers and Dropshipping International Wholesale Suppliers - Christmas Wholesale Dropshipper & Dropshipping Directory
• Holiday Dropshippers and Dropshipping International Wholesale Suppliers - Holiday Wholesale Dropshipper & Dropshipping Directory

When you say you are late for the upcoming Christmas season, do you mean you are late to establish a presence online? You are not too late to gain your share of this market, the Internet is in fact one of the quickest avenues to establish and promote a business in a very short time. Generally it is niche markets that require a longer set up period, however since you are aiming to target a broader market you have sufficient time to meet the deadline so to speak. You could also consider broadening your reach by offering other related products; for example, the following garden center drop ships real Christmas trees to your customers, consider contacting them for more information:

• Leighgardencentre.co.uk - Xmas Trees Wholesale

If the Christmas decoration is sufficiently unique, customized or handmade, you will also have success with getting manufacturers to drop ship on your behalf. Have a look at the following results to identify Christmas product manufacturers in the UK:

• Christmas Manufacturers in UK - Wholesale Christmas Directory
• Christmas Decorations Manufacturers in UK - Wholesale Christmas Decoration Directory

Finally, consider buying surplus stock at discounted prices and have it stored and handled by a fulfillment company which can also drop ship individual orders directly to your customers. Here is a Christmas lights manufacturer who is currently in the process of liquidation:

• Lumalite Ltd
