Since the turn of the century, there have been over 90,000 forcible rapes every year. I don’t know about you, but that is a terrifying statistic to me. Women need to be able to defend themselves because a single rape is one too many. With pepper spray, a woman can defend herself from an attacker, completely immobilize him and make her escape. That’s the beauty of pepper spray.

Pepper spray works wonderfully as a self-defense weapon. The pepper extract that is in the spray causes temporary blindness for at least thirty to forty-five minutes. On top of the temporary blindness, the recipient of the spray will experience a runny nose, coughing and respiratory constriction. This kind of immobilization not only aids the potential victim in their escape, but it can also help the police find the assailant. After all, if they can’t see to get away, they won’t get very far from the crime scene.

Though pepper spray is a wonderful self-defense tool, how many people out there actually carry pepper spray? In fact, how many people are even thinking about self-defense throughout the day? Sadly, people don’t usually think about it until it is too late. What’s worse is when people do think about it, know that they should prepare themselves for such an occasion, but then never follow through because the opportunity to do so isn’t right in front of them. This is where you come in.

In order for more people to be better prepared, they need to have the opportunity to prepare themselves placed in front of them. You can be the one to do this. How? By finding a wholesale drop shipper that deals primarily with nonlethal self-defense products, and then by presenting those products to the customer. Because pepper spray is such a high impulse item, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep some in stock. You don’t have to have the product in stock, but if you do, all the better– if only for the sake of better customer service. That is one of the great things about working with a wholesale drop shipper. You can just take the customer’s order and pass it right along.

There is a lot of money to be made by selling pepper spray to people, not to mention how helpful it is. For every sale you make, you get to keep the difference between the wholesale price and the retail price that the customer pays. But you don’t have to just sell to individuals. You can expand your customers to include gun shops, pawn shops, and flea markets.
