Easily one of themost challenging aspects of running a successful dropshipping business (yes it IS possible!) is selecting a product (s) to sell!
If you can manage to pick a winning product up front, it will save you precious time/money especially when your website/ebay store theme is designed with that product soley in mind.
Here's2 killer tips to find the product that willpush your sales HIGHER!
TIP 1
Shipping Costs.
A much overlooked aspect of dropshipping is the calculation of shipping costs. A lot of dropshippers will pass this cost on to the customer which is why sometimes it is overlooked as unimportant.
What shipping costs can do is wipe out the potential savings for the CUSTOMER.High shipping costs for say a Plasma TV or Microwave can make the final price the customer pays as much as it would cost in a bricks and mortar store.
While there are good profits for the dropshipper on these sorts of items, if the shipping eats into potential savings for the customer, they will go elsewhere.
So think small!
TIP 2
The pricing sweet spot.
The best dropshipping products sell for in between the $30-150 range.
This is the comfortable buying threshold for most online shoppers, any more than that and they can get very wary about pulling that credit card out of their wallet.
Most dropshippers see the massive profit margins on the big ticket items and think that is their magic bullet. The fact is, only after you have developed relationships and built a name for yourself will customers be willing to shop with you.
So look for items in thepricing sweet spot.
Look for items that have small shipping costs (small size).
Access dropshipping databases like DOBA (free 7day trial) and search their mega product listings. These products are out there.
Apply these two points before all else and your first dropshipping product has much more likelyhood of success!!
