- 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.
