Domain Idea:	http://licensed-manufacturers.com
Description:	What is Licensed-Manufacturers.com? This business directory & online community will be to connect buyers looking for licensed manufacturers and licensed manufacturers. All manufacturers will be verified & officially licensed so distributors & retailers have confidence the merchandise they are ordering is not illegal. The website will also have a large resource directory to inform & teach users about licensing. Why this business will be EXTREMLY PROFITABLE: The Wholesale & Drop Shipping Industry is extremely large online. Millions of people see the internet as an easy way to make money online. All you need to do is resell merchandise from a Wholesaler or better yet have a Drop Shipper ship for you; making money is as easy as that, right? WRONG, what people fail to realize is that everyone online has access to buy wholesale & find drop shippers. Many wholesalers have $100 minimum orders. If you choose to go with a drop shipper it may not cost anything. The idea of a free sales force is great for wholesalers & drop shippers – they obtain more customers while you do all the work. If you really want to make money online you need to deal directly with a manufacturer. Building Licensed-Manufacturers.com will give manufacturers the opportunity to get rid of the middle man (wholesalers) and make the most out of their products. *Future of this business:* We suggest using the domain name Licensed-Manufacturers.com to gain high search engine placements to start out with. It will take at least 6 months to build this business correctly, we suggest hiring our content writing to build you around 50 pages of content and gain #1 positions for ‘Licensed manufacturers’ ‘officially licensed’ and many other keyword phrases that people will be searching to find your services. Then when you are ready to start switch the domain name over to some easy to remember domain name like RedHogs.com.

Website Software

Many online directories including Alibaba.com & GlobalSources.com are doing a great job helping businesses with International Trade. Both of these two websites allow manufacturers & distributors to communicate easily with Retailers in the United States.

The only problem is copyright & trademark laws are different overseas then in the U.S.A. Finding a manufacturer that is licensed for the brands they sell is extremely difficult. A manufacturer in China may print brand name logos, product labels, and even package the merchandise in ‘brand name’ boxes and you may never know the difference. Licensed-Manufacturers.com will fix this problem!

Search for Products/Manufacturers: Visitors would be able to browse/search products/manufacturers for Licensed Merchandise. Not only would they be able to find what they needed but they would be able to read company profiles, research products & services, see company ratings, get directions, and even chat live with a representative from the company with the sites live chat.

Sell Licensed Products: Businesses would register for an account on Licensed-Manufacturers.com to promote their business & sell licensed products. They would be allowed to create their own web page, list products, interact with visitors, and pretty much anything else you wanted to add. WebBizIdeas.com has social networking software that is flexible enough to incorporate easy communication between manufacturers & users. We also have robust enough software to allow each Manufacturer to own/promote their Online Store with in Licensed-Manufacturers.com.

Learn/Teach – Licensing Resource Center: In order to gain search engine rankings & to help users learn more about copyrights, trademarks, and infringement we suggest a large online resource directory. This resource directory will originally have to be built by the owner but we have an excellent content copywriter that can assist in writing those pages.

Once the internet business is established it will be beneficial for the new owner & the licensed manufacturers to teach people together. No one will know more about licensing then Manufacturers that License Merchandise. WebBizIdeas.com can build the resource directory dynamically, allowing for manufacturers to easily post information for users to view.

It will be beneficial to Manufacturers to post the information because their name will be SLAPPED all over the page they wrote; building credibility & brand awareness. The owner of the website will benefit by selling advertisements on all pages

Business Directory:

Another great tool for manufacturers, users, and owners will be building a searchable business directory of licensed manufacturers.

Users: Search/Find Manufacturers by zip code
Manufacturers: Another way to promote
Owner: Another way to monetize

Internet Marketing

Competition:
If you are familiar with the manufacturer industry or ever imported or exported merchandise you know it is not an easy task. Finding the right company can be practically impossible because most do not have an internet presence; especially in the U.S.A.

SIDE NOTE: I think this is due to manufacturers refusing to change with the times; they already have established customers and feel they don’t need to expand. WebBizIdeas.com once tried a marketing campaign that targeted Manufacturers and had extreme resistance on the idea of building an internet presence so we do know firsthand.

Most manufacturers you will find online will be international manufacturers, many times from companies who have online stores from Alibaba.com & Global Sources.com. They have cheap prices, low bulk orders, great customer services, and our eager to earn your business. Ask them to prove to you that they are OFFICIALLY LICENSED, that is where the problem kicks in.

There is no reliable source for finding Licensed Manufacturers online, Licensed-Manufactures.com will change this by verifying every manufacturer and showing this verified information to consumers. It will be important to market to United States Companies and brand yourself as a U.S. directory. It may be a slow process starting out, but if you put in your time and build this business correctly it will pay off.
