Choosing a Niche Product to Dropship Part 2 By Nate Moller Finding a niche product to dropship can be a difficult task. In part two of this series about choosing a niche product to dropship, we suggest two other solutions: Check Suppliers. Once you have some potential niche product ideas, determine your final choice by supplier. Let's say I've narrowed down my selection to three options: studded motorcycle boots, Cubs paraphernalia, or calligraphy sets. I've checked to make sure there is a sufficient market for all three products. The best way to make my final decision is to see which niche product has the best suppliers. I can submit a Research Request to Wholesale Match, get back a list of suppliers for all three products, and then choose my favorite supplier(s) of the bunch. Maybe I'll find out that the licensed sports products suppliers have a paucity of Cubs products. Maybe I won't like the attitude of the motorcycle boots suppliers. And maybe I'll find a manufacturer with a smokin' deal on calligraphy sets: that's how I know I should go with the third option. Create Your Own Supplier. If you've brainstormed a truly unique niche product, one that nobody else is selling, you may encounter difficulties finding a supplier. In this case, you might have to get creative. Let's say I choose Hebrew T-shirts as my niche product, but I can't find a single supplier with this type of shirt. What can I do? Well, all I really need is a t-shirt printer. If I can find a supplier who prints and dropships t-shirts, I can get them printed with anything I like. The benefit of this tack is I will be the only one selling those exact t-shirts. I'll be the exclusive supplier of my product line, and there's really no better market position. Finding a product niche is no longer difficult when you realize that almost every person on the planet has interests that can be divided into a dozen or more quirky niches. Examining your own purchase history is a great way to brainstorm product ideas because all the products you consider are ones that you know people buy online - after all, that's how you got them! You can be your own market research. Nate Moller does social media marketing and consulting for hundreds of clients all over the world.
