How to Find the Best Dropshipping Products to Sell

There are plenty of tools to utilize to help you discover dropshipping products to sell. Some of them have already been mentioned in this post but to make your life easier, outlined below is a step by step process to guide you on your path to dropshipping success!

• Research

  Have we mentioned that research is important? You’re probably sick of hearing it by now but seriously… Without research, you are jumping in blind and that is not a good idea. It’s totally okay to take some time finding good drop shipping ideas!

  To begin, check out the market research tools mentioned above to get an idea of the types of products you could sell, best-selling products, and a niche you could enter. Also, glance an eye at successful eCommerce stores for inspiration. A good dropshipping product is generally not dominated by major brands, small and lightweight, non-seasonal, and retails in the eCommerce “sweet spot.” (Described below).

• Figure out your profit

  Once you have a product idea. It’s important to figure out how much you could sell your product for and the profit you could make.

  We recommend choosing products that can sell for between $15 and $200. There are several reasons for this. One of the major reasons is that having an affordable product will mean you can sell higher volumes.

  The profit margin you are aiming for should be at least 20-40%. SaleHoo Labs, mentioned above, does this for you. But you can also figure this out by contacting suppliers for pricing and then checking out how your product idea is selling on places such as Amazon, eBaby, Alibaba and AliExpress.

• Analyze the competition

  You definitely don’t want to enter a saturated market so it’s important to see how many current sellers you are up against.

  To figure out your competition have a look on eBay and Amazon with your product idea and check out the current listings. How many sellers do you see?

  

  On Amazon, you can see a list of sellers on the left of the page (see image above). If you’re up against 15 or more well-established sellers, you might want to consider a different product.

  Another great way to check out your competition is to use SaleHoo Labs which categorizes your products into Low, Medium, and High competition.

  You can also look at how many sales a particular item has had to see if the market is saturated. For example, on AliExpress when you click on a product you will see the number of sales the product has had (next to the star reviews).

  See the screenshot below of a posture corrector with 24,080 sales (from just one supplier). This product is likely to be considered saturated.

  

  You can also use good ol’ Google and type in your product into the search bar. Take a look at who is advertising the product and what their pricing is. Can you compete with this? If you can’t offer more competitive pricing then it might not be a good idea to choose that product. But, if you can differentiate your product in some way then it might still be worth entering that market.

• Select products for trials

  Once you think you are onto a winning product it’s important to test it out!

  Before you begin dropshipping a product, ideally you want to step into your customer’s shoes and check out the process they will be going through.

  This is where you contact suppliers and ask for samples so that you can test the quality and suitability of the product, as well as the efficiency and reliability of the supplier. More on where to find these suppliers below!

Where to Find Dropshipping Suppliers

Now that you have a profitable product idea in mind it’s time to find your suppliers!

One of the best ways to do this is by using our SaleHoo Directory that has over 8,000 trusted local and global suppliers. We thoroughly investigate every supplier before adding them to our categorized list. (You need to join for access). Simply perform a search and use the filter options on the left if need be.

Don’t worry, we take the stress out of what to say to suppliers by providing pre-written templates that you can tweak to suit your voice! A good place to start is to contact4 or 5 suppliers to check prices on the product you intend to dropship just to ensure you get the best deal!

However, we are not the only place to find quality suppliers. Check out this epic list of 12 places to find dropshipping suppliers.

Alternatively, you could also do your own research on Google. The easiest way to find wholesale dropshippers on Google is by searching “[Product] + dropshipper.” But it is very hard to figure out trustworthy and legitimate suppliers so enter at your own risk!

Once you think you have found a suitable supplier/s run them through this quick checklist to make sure they are the best for your business!

• Experience- We recommend dealing with suppliers that have 2+ years in the game
• Great customer service- Helps you with handling questions and any issues you may have
• No huge pre-order fees- You want to make a big profit!
• Fast shipping- Keeps you and your customers happy
• Quality product- Helps you create a successful brand
• Suitable return policy- Make sure it matches your shop’s policy and there are no unreasonable fees on your end.

Here it is, folks. The most comprehensive list of new business ideas and best drop shipping products for aspiring eCommerce entrepreneurs.

1. Gaming Headset

The video gaming market is huge! It is expected to be worth over 200 billion U.S. dollars by 2023. And a gaming necessity includes a good headset.

2. Bluetooth Speaker

Big brands like UE and Beats helped to make Bluetooth speakers cool and pretty much every electronics company has joined the party. You might think Bluetooth speakers would be a saturated market by now – and you may be right – but there are still opportunities to find untapped corners of this niche. A recent study found the portable speaker market is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate of 29% between 2020-2024.

A quick look at the SaleHoo Market Research Lab shows that the JBL portable Bluetooth Speaker could be a good option with an average sale price of $180 and a 100% sell rate!

3. Smart Watches

Similar to fitness trackers, smart watches have been finding their stride in recent years. Picked up by early adopters, smart watches are now strapped around the wrists of technology stragglers. The rise of wearable technology is likely to see smart watches become more a part of our lives.

Worldwide wearables sales are predicted to grow by an average of 20% each year over the next five years, becoming a $29 billion market by 2022. What does this mean for your new startup ideas? It means that smart watches aren’t going anywhere soon and if you’re thinking about getting into an electronics-related niche, smart watches might a good option.

SaleHoo’s Market Research Lab suggests the Garmin Forerunner 235 which is selling well online with a $180 average sale price and a 94% sell-rate.

4. Wooden Watches

If you’re looking for startup business ideas in the fashion accessories market, wooden watches are worth exploring. Wooden watches have become markedly more popular in the last three years. They are the antithesis of smartwatches, tapping into the eco-friendly, non-toxic, natural product movement.

The global watch market is predicted to grow by more than 4% between 2021-2025. And while it is a crowded market dominated by big name brands, there are still opportunities to capitalize on the popularity of wooden watches, especially with some crafty branding and marketing.

5. Muslin blankets

Also known as swaddle blankets, muslin blankets have skyrocketed in popularity over recent years. Muslin is a lightweight, finely-woven, breathable cotton fabric.

There are plenty of ways to differentiate yourself by stocking a variety of patterns, styles, sizes, and materials. As long as we keep having babies, there will always be high demand for baby products.

6. Teeth Whitening Kit

The high cost of professional dental treatment and the rise of personal care products has seen increased interest in teeth whitening kits. Something happened in 2015 that saw these dental kits take-off and they’ve continued to ride a wave of popularity. Everyone has teeth, so you can be sure there will be steady demand. Research predicts the global teeth whitening products market to reach $7.4 billion by 2024. And there is growing consumer preference for over-the-counter products in countries such as Germany, France, UK, India and China.

An example from the Salehoo Market Research Lab is the AuraGlow Teeth Whitening Gel Refill Pack with low competition, an average sale price of $37, and a 100 percent sell rate!

7. Hair Growth Serum

Dropshipping hair products is a great idea for a number of reasons. Firstly, the fact that the global haircare market is expected to reach USD 211.1 billion by 2025 (this may be reason enough to think about entering!). But also because hair products are an everyday need. Think shampoos, hair color, brushes, etc.

There is a wide variety of products to choose from and you also have the opportunity to build recurring customers. One specific item you could sell is hair growth serum. Hair loss is a big source of insecurity amongst men in particular. And as you can see from Google Trends the interest in hair growth serum is booming, so tapping into this market could be beneficial.
