So what makes an adult DVD distributor good?

• Reliability

• Variety

• Quality

• Pricing

• Efficiency

Reliability means that your order arrives as promised, that you're billed exactly what you're quoted, and that you can contact customer support 24/7 if something doesn't go as planned. Variety means that you have access to tens of thousands of adult DVDs. The best way to make money is by covering as many demographics as possible and to do that you're going to need to offer an amazing variety of adult DVDs from the award-winning plot-based straight films to the hardcore, fetish-filled, and gay films. You also want to have a wide variety of price points to appeal to both the discerning and the quick fix customers.

A quality product doesn't have to mean strictly big budget porn movies. It means that whether you're paying $5 or $50 per title you're getting exactly what you paid for. A good adult DVD distributor will offer refunds if you're not satisfied and will cover damages if items are improperly packed. This is where pricing becomes important too. You should be prepared to pay good money for good products, but a good adult DVD distributor knows that the only way they can keep their clients is by offering a fair price. After all, you have to be able to mark up your movies while still keeping them reasonable to your customers if you hope to profit at all.

Finally...efficiency. It's a quality that many future adult DVD business owners underestimate. If they've got the products and their prices are good then many people are quick to jump on the deal. Bad adult DVD distributors cut corners, so they can undercut their competition on prices. They're often understaffed meaning they suffer from a lot of inaccuracies and are slow to ship. Unfortunately, what you gain from using these cheap distributors you'll lose from having bare shelves for over a month. It's important to go with an adult DVD distributor that offers the best of all these attributes.
