Stupid question time.

I’m new to drop shipping. While sourcing products for my store, I’ve noticed that there’s no brand name for them. I’d think this would be important to potential customers. How do you handle this? Your own brand name? Get it from the manufacturer? etc…

Contact manufacturer and you will need to pay extra fees of branding.
