How to choose good products to dropship on Shopify? Here are a few advices and a recommendation to let an expert to the market research. After taking notes about the look and layout of different stores in your niche, browse through the Shopify app store to find apps that allow you to model your store after other successful brands. You might include countdown timers, shoppable Instagram galleries or affiliate programs. You can also add pages to your website such as refund policies, FAQs, shipping information, and more. When it comes to banner images for your homepage, feel free to use relevant stock photos from Burst. You’ll be able to find images for a range of niches and they’re free to use and modify on your store. If you’re looking for more stock image websites there are reams of free resources online.
When you’re having these conversations with your suppliers, make sure to ask them for unique product photos. Since you’re drop shipping, you aren’t going to see or touch your products. You’ll probably have the same photos as everyone else because when you apply to be a retailer for a supplier, they will give you the same photos that your competitors get. Everyone puts the same images their website, resulting in every product page looking the same.
One of the dropshipping tips that I’ve learned along the way pertains to niche selection. This is the first step when starting out, and is probably the most important and can either set you up for success or doom you to failure. I’ve found (after much trial and error) that passionate/hobby niches do far better than other niches. For example…let’s consider Yoga vs. dining room tables. People are far more likely to be more passionate about Yoga and products related to Yoga than dining room tables. This passion ultimately leads to more sales opportunities and repeat customers.
How to find the perfect products ? A few words about dropshipping market research. There are tonnes of online communities and forum that you can join and begin to do research through. Facebook has hundreds of open and close communities that can help you understand the needs and wants for people in certain areas of the world. If you want to limit your dropshipping business to a country or region you can restrict your research to groups in these areas. Alternatively, you can open your search to many different areas or just search for niche groups that have people from around the world in them. There are many worldwide groups and forums around areas like veganism, gardening, fitness, and so many other subjects the list is too long to note. Check these groups out and notice if products or problems are mentioned. If problems are discussed find a product you could sell to overcome this. Or you can let an expert to do the product market research for you while you focus on marketing or improving your website. See more info on Best selling on Amazon.
