Encore Drop can turn your company’s inventory / overstock into cash.

We can act as, in essence, an outsourced eCommerce division for practically any business. Our North Shore location and Logan Square warehouse are perfect for manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers looking for another avenue for which to move their inventory. Whether you're looking to liquidate overstock, sell new merchandise, move bulk quantities of product, or close out seasonal items...we sell directly to the customer without disclosing your business and manage every operational detail so you can concentrate on your traditional business lines.

Whether you have a few items or a few hundred thousand, consider Encore Drop as a compliment to your core business and help move more product and grow sales without either the front-end expenditures of establishing an eCommerce channel or the inefficiencies and wasted overhead of continuous sales mark-downs.

What Do We Add to Your Business?

• Money: We only make money when items sell, so there is no upfront expenditure on your part (although depending on your auction format, there may be eBay fees for custom starting bids, reserve prices, the “Buy It Now” option, etc.). We can start posting your inventory online within a week. If an item doesn't sell, there is no commission. Utilizing a service such as this – on a commission basis – is the only way to explore such a venture without the possibility of wasted manpower and money.

• Time: With Encore Drop you hit the ground running -- there is no learning curve. We have the infrastructure in place to start selling your inventory immediately. Internet sales (particularly on a large scale) require front-end expenditures on software and operations to efficiently manage the auction sales and delivery process. We've done all the research and laid the ground work so you don't risk wasting time and money on any of the hundreds of potential mistakes.

• Convenience: From copy writing, professional photography, inventory management, customer service, payment processing, packaging and shipping, to potential returns...Encore Drop handles every step of the process. You provide the inventory, we do everything else.

What Do We Do?

We specialize in working with local retailers and wholesalers to set up a turnkey internet distribution channel through eBay to sell their merchandise at better prices than they might otherwise receive on their own or through continuous sales mark-downs. We will:

• Inventory and prepare your merchandise for auction: With a store in Wilmette and a warehouse in Logan Square, we have two convenient locations for merchandise drop off. Or, we can pick up the items from your business. Once your items are entered into our system, we prepare the copy write, professionally photograph your items, and post the auctions to eBay.

• Coordinate all areas of customer service: We handle all customer inquiries during the sales process and collect payment from the buyer. Any questions we cannot answer are funneled to you through us to ensure your company's identity is not disclosed -- allowing you to sell online without risking existing business relationships or pricing issues.

• Manage electronic invoicing to buyers and payment processing: We handle the collection of payment. Once your items have been paid for, shipped, and received by the buyer, we issue you a check along with a receipt. All transaction fees are absorbed by our service rate, so your bookkeeping is simple and efficient.

• Professionally pack and ship your product: Upon receipt of payment in full by the buyer, we professionally pack and ship via UPS Ground (at the buyer’s expense).

• Handle customer returns: We handle any customer returns, which may be re-listed for sale.
  

Why Us?

• Global Shipping: We ship all around the world to open new markets for our customers.

• Experience you can trust: Our professionalism, credibility, experience and reputation for high-level customer service lets buyers purchase with confidence.

• A full-service eCommerce solution: Encore Drop can reduce your overhead costs and allow you to focus on your core business. We sell virtually any size product quantity with the main focus on generating revenue for your business as efficiently as possible.

• Higher recovery values: In the efficient online marketplace, your merchandise is exposed to millions of potential customers rather than just a local market with a limited number of buyers. Our experienced team of copy writers and photographers strive to effectively showcase your products to optimize the sale price.

• Discretion: Selling direct to consumers, rather than through liquidators or an internal online sale, avoids channel conflicts and protects both your brand and customer relationships. Your business name does not appear in the online auction listings, allowing you to sell excess inventory discreetly and independently of your full-priced products.

Encore Drop is the perfect eCommerce solution for local businesses looking to add another distribution line while protecting existing sales channels and price points.

If you want to maximize your profits and avoid the numerous pitfalls that have driven other established eBay sellers to use our service, consider hiring the experts at Encore Drop. We promise to work hard to get you the best price for your products and add the most to your bottom line. We invite you to compare our service rates to the time, money, and potential conflicts of interest for your business to operate an “in house” internet sales channel. We are confident you will see the value of utilizing Encore Drop's expertise in internet auctions as a progressive tool to help your company convert inventory and overstock into cash in a far simpler and more convenient way than ever before.
