Thank you for a good question.
Its time is or eCommerce and every one wants to become a seller on different marketplaces. But one question which everyone has “I want to sell online but don’t know what to sell”?
Don’t worry, I have compiled 15 most popular products to sell online. After reading this answer, you can easily know how to find a niche product for your store and what are the products which can give you a good profit margin.
Here we go:-
A niche product is that which has limited edition and only available for few. Uniqueness, specificity, relevance, and highly profitable are the key features of a niche product. Sometimes a niche product may be very expensive because of its limited editions and higher demand. Sometimes some products aren’t available in the offline market, but those are available in the online store.
Hence, you must try the most popular products to sell online because these will bring the new customers to your online store. But the problem is how to decide which are the niche products?
Here are some tactics which will help you to find niche products to sell online:
- Products which aren’t easily available in offline:
How do you know which products are not easily available in the offline market? For this, you can go nearby markets and find out. You can also use Google Analytics and find out which items are most searched on the internet.
Once you have a list of items which are not easily found in the offline shop, you can import those items directly to your online store by contacting the suppliers. This is one of the best tactics to find niche products to sell online.
- Higher reviews and ratings of the products:
As I assume you may be a user of Amazon or Flipkart. Use your previous shopping experience. What were you doing while making a purchase on these sites? Tell me.
I am also a user of many eCommerce marketplaces. When I wish to make a purchase, first I see the reviews and ratings of the particular products on the internet. When I get the satisfactory reviews, then proceed to checkout.
Use this tactic. Open these sites, make a list of top rated items which have more reviews also. That’s good. You have found some niche products from here.
- Products which can give you high margin:
This tactic depends on your offline shopping experience. You may know well how much an offline store owner earns a margin. Also, you can contact your supplier and can discuss on profit margin. Then select only those products for your store whose margin may be high. Because all products won’t give you a good margin every time. The margin of particular products depends on the season and occasion.
- Trending products with limited edition:
Trust me, really this tactic works most. You may be aware the flesh sales by some brands in the recent years. What is a flash sale? It is just like to sell some limited number of items in a given time period amongst a wide number of customers.
Then what do you have to do? Try to import these products into your store by a direct partnership with the supplier or any third party supplier. It may be possible that you won’t make more margin on these items, but at least your online store will drive a healthy traffic.
- Products which have multifunction:
First, you should know what is multifunctional products. Multifunctional or multitasking items are those which can many works at a time.
I will clear this point by giving an example. There are three different products as Mixture, Grinder, and Juicer in the market. But you know, there is a single product which can do these three works alone. Yes, it is available in the market.
People always try to get more at less cost. Then why a customer will purchase three different items, when he can find a single item for all works. This is the tactic to find niche products to sell online. Let’s try to find out this type of products and list those in your online store today.
- A product with branding potential:
How much can a branded product help your online store? It can be the fourth pillar of your online shop. Try to import the branded products to your store. Because these brands are already famous amongst the customers. You don’t need to convince the customers for the product.
So, make sure your online store has branded products. Avoid listing unbranded products on your store. It will result to downgrade of your store. You should know that you have potential customers and they use the branded and genuine products.
- Create hike about the product before launch:
Yes, it works a lot to find niche products to sell online. Pre-posting of any product which is going to launch near days. So, be quick and grab the market by posting the items and their amazing features.
This strategy definitely will prove that you have chosen the niche products for your online store. Always try to post the related news of upcoming item in the market before launching. Google proves that any keyword is searched more before it launched.
After these hot and creative tactics, I hope you have listed some niche products for your online store. Along with you, I have some niche products now in my mind. So I am going to list those products here, some of these may be matched with your list. Which may not match with you, kindly share those with me via comments below in the box.
