Understanding Your Choices of Leather

As a consumer of leather motorcycle apparel, the choices of leather are vast. One must judge the quality of a leather garment not only by touch, feel, or good looks, but by its origin, the animal that donated the skin, and the way in which it was prepared to keep it from rotting.

The Web 2.0 Motorcycle Leather Shop

Social Media opens up a brand new marketing frontier for small businesses of all types. Given the propensity of motorcyclists to join clubs, gather at rallies, and organize charity runs, building a community of like minded bikers that offers entertainment, communication, and collaboration gives the leather merchant an opportunity to build lasting relationships with potential customers world wide.

Finding a Reputable Motorcycle Leather Web Site

Get as much information as you can about the type of leather and its tanning process. Find out if the leather is Buffalo, Light Weight, or Cowhide, and if it is top grain, naked leather, or split. A good website should be forthcoming with this information, and even provide you with the thickness of the leather, usually in millimeters.

The Drop Ship Phenomenon

Simply put, the drop ship process consists of the merchant selling a product at retail to the consumer, then buying the product at wholesale from the distributor. The distributor then ships the product to the consumer directly from the warehouse. The wholesaler charges the merchant for the shipping costs, which can either be priced into the product or passed on to the consumer. The consumer remains the merchant’s customer, and the merchant is the distributor’s customer.
