the first interaction between you and the supplier is the message you sent them to ask about their dropshipping program. so it’s important to leave good impression showing you’re professional and you want to do business with them especially if you’re reaching to a brand or a supplier selling high ticket products.
But if you’re reaching to a supplier from aliexpress the message might be totally different as some suppliers don’t speak english and you have to reach them with a short and clear message.
below you will find both message formats short and long:
Dropshipping Message To suppliers
Message #1
Here is an example of a message you could send to a dropshipping supplier:

Message #2
Here is an example of a message that you could send to a dropshipping supplier:

Message #3 (to Aliexpress supliers)

This is just a brief example , but the don’t just contact one supplier , contact as many as you can and choose the one who replies in timely manner and has enough stock and good shipping times.
Takeway
Having a good supplier who insures that he sends good quality products and ships them in time is very important for your dropshipping business. as it’s the backbone of your business that will define it’s success or failure.
so take your time to choose a good supplier.
