Worldwide Brands Press Release


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INTERNET SELLERS PREPARE FOR RECORD HOLIDAY SEASON
ORLANDO, FL -- As the summer season heats up, product manufacturers, wholesalers and retail outlets are already gearing up for the year-end holiday sales rush. Smart Home-based Internet Business Owners are doing the same, and are already searching for newer and better products to sell online.

To help those looking to capitalize on the online Holiday shopping frenzy, Worldwide Brands, a highly-respected provider of e-commerce business information, offers a variety of e-commerce resources via the web www.worldwidebrands.com. It’s core products, The Drop Ship Source Directory and The Light Bulk Wholesale Directory are fully cross-referenced, web-based directories of pre-qualified Wholesalers Suppliers who are willing to work with Home-based Internet Businesses. They contain over two million products available for sale on the Internet, from more than  4,000 brand names. Both Directories are Internet-based, and are updated with new Supplier information every business day.

Over the past several years, e-commerce has continued to have a dramatic impact on the retail shopping landscape. E-commerce sales growth continues to outpace overall retail growth. Total retail sales rose just 4.4% in 2001 while e-commerce sales rose 22% for a total of $34 billion with non-store retailers accounting for an impressive $26 billion of that market. E-commerce has posted consistent double-digit gains throughout the post 9/11/01 economic slump.

"The time has never been better to get into e-commerce," said Chris Malta, CEO and Founder of Worldwide Brands, Inc. "The numbers continually show that shoppers are changing their buying habits and spending more of their Holiday season dollars online."

According to Forester Research, the leading authority on global e-commerce, online shopping is the fastest growing area of Internet use this year. Further research indicates that 30% of all current Internet users already purchase goods online with the total number of Internet users increasing every day. It is estimated that 75% of the billions in online sales every year are made by strictly e-commerce retailers that do not have physical stores.

The following graph shows the increase in e-commerce sales over the past several years with the red bars representing the holiday shopping seasons. E-commerce sales have continued to increase with dramatic upward movement during the holiday shopping season.

The holiday shopping season continues to be one of the most crucial times of the year for U.S. retail outlets. According to the National Federation of Retailers, as much as 40% of all retail sales occur in the few short weeks leading up to the December holidays. As much as 70% of all the products that people buy as gifts are sold during this same period.

In addition to the Free EBook and Directories, the Worldwide Brands website features The Market Research Wizard, a software program developed by Worldwide Brands that reduces hours and days' worth of critical research into competition, to mere minutes. The site also contains free, useful information on various Internet scams, feature articles on a variety of e-commerce topics, links to other useful e-commerce-related websites, e-commerce facts & figures and a free newsletter.

Starting Your Internet Business Right

How to Find Products To Sell Online

I am a member of Worldwide Brands since 2005. It was one of the best investments I have made for my business so far! I very much appreciate all the work you put into your wonderful company! For a new business owner your services are a very big help!

You certainly are a man of your word. Thank you so much for all the information you are giving us! Thanks, Chris. I was hesitant to join WWB because of the price. But with all of this wonderful help you are giving all of us, I can honestly say that this was money well spent!

I count myself incredibly fortunate to have *started* with WBI and not somewhere else. In fact, when I was still reading the free stuff, a friend of mine and I were surfing sites for "wholesalers" (being very excited about this whole online biz idea) and she found a site she thought looked really good. So I went to check it out, and because I'd done my reading at WBI, I said, "Oh - not that one! It looks really good and professional, but this is one of those silly all-in-one deals and I'd never make money." ;) Whew! LOL Since then, I joined up, and my definition of "slow and steady wins the race" has stretched even further in the area of "slow". But I'm feeling totally blessed for all the training I'm getting. All in all, even though it will take me longer than I'd first thought - I'm feeling SO set up with good support, training, camaraderie, and techniques, that I am totally believing I cannot fail at this!
