HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN MAIL ORDER
APPENDIX
Most foreign countries pursue overseas sales with
vigor, in particular New Zealand, Mexico and China. You
will need to work through an import agent to bring merchan-
dise into the country, although most trade representatives
in foreign countries can arrange for you to receive samples
without too much difficulty.
Some countries specialize in certain products, for
example New Zealand can supply some of the finest wool
products you've ever seen. They also have a fine range of
camping equipment.
Peru specializes in butterflies and these are in con-
stant demand by schools, universities and museums.
While we are on the subject of insects, you may wish to
look into the business of insect farming. More and more
farmers are beginning to look at insects controlling insects
and in several parts of the country people are breeding
insects which pray on pests. Hawaii is one of the sources
of sterile fruit flies.
Worm farming has long been a source of income for
people with a small area of ground to spare. As I mentioned
earlier, perhaps you can solve the problem of having them
arrive at their destination in good condition. Heat is
apparently the greatest problem.
Germany's Black Forest area has long been famous for
its cuckoo clocks. The mention of Germany brings to mind
the Entrepreneurs who went into a very short but profitable
business selling parts of the Berlin Wall.
Another area which has been neglected over the past few
years is model soldiers. I'm thinking not so much of the
toy shop plastic replicas but those made of metal and paint-
ed by hand. There is quite a collector's market for these
models and it's been neglected lately.
Stamps and coins are still in demand. Regardless of
the economic situation of countries throughout the world,
there is always interest in these collectibles. You would
need to have knowledge of this market, or be prepared to
study it at length.
Special jewelry can be bought from: Australia for
Opals, Italy for Gold Chain, Japan for watches and pearls,
Mexico and China for Coral. China, Korea and Thailand for
Jade. Mexico, Canada and Brazil for Silver jewelry.
As with collectibles, jewelry is a specialized but very
profitable trade. Before venturing into either of these
fields, be sure to get a thorough grounding in the subject.
It is one of those fields in which specialization pays off -
and it pays off handsomely.
How do you set about making enquiries about this type
of merchandise? Go to the Jewelry Shows held twice a year
in many major cities including, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Chicago, New Orleans, New York, Las Vegas and Tucson.
I should mention at this time that certain merchandise,
while still available in many parts of the world, are banned
in this country as part of the ecology protection movement.
In conclusion, be sure to visit the annual Gift and
Accessories Shows. There you will find anything from Soap-
stone Chess sets to Decorated Mail Boxes. The Gift and
Accessories Shows, as with the Jewelry Shows are held in
most of the major cities, usually in the spring and fall.
You can find information about up-coming shows in trade
magazines or by simply walking into an established store and
asking the manager. Most established stores subscribe to
the trade magazines and you may be able to persuade them to
part with an old issue. The editorial offices of those
magazines will be able to tell you the location and times of
up-coming shows.
