Choose Wisely: How to Select a Profitable Product Line
Introduction
For many new online sellers, the challenge of choosing the right product lineup isn't due to a lack of options. Instead, the overwhelming number of choices can make it difficult to start narrowing them down. According to Vinnie Busnelli, General Manager of USellCorp.com, the key is to base your product decisions on data, not emotions.
It's Not Personal, It's Business
New sellers often choose products based on personal feelings rather than evaluating indicators that can determine profitability. Busnelli explains, “Your online business is a real business. If you want to earn profits, you need to select products based on market insights, not personal preferences.” Here are some guidelines he suggests for picking the right products:
Avoid Personal Bias
- Don't choose products just because you like them.
Many new e-tailers focus on selling products they love, without considering market demand. If there isn’t enough demand or there’s too much competition, you won't move inventory or make money.
- Don’t rely solely on your knowledge.
In online retail, you don’t need deep expertise about a product to sell it successfully. Unlike physical stores, your website handles most interactions with customers, allowing you to learn about products as you sell them.
Make Data-Driven Decisions
- Conduct Market Research.
Understand consumer demand and market saturation. Some markets, like those for iPods and PS3s, have high demand but equal supply, leaving little room for profit. Look for markets with moderate demand and enough space for you to carve out your niche.
- Evaluate Risk Factors.
Consider the cost-to-profit ratio of products. It’s less risky to source a watch for $100 and sell it for $200 than to invest in a $2,400 television to sell for $2,600. While the TV offers a higher profit margin, the risk is greater. Opt for products with lower risks to protect your investment.
Conclusion
Creating a successful product line involves making informed and strategic choices. Conduct thorough research to discover where you can succeed, and apply that knowledge effectively. As Busnelli states, "Choosing the right products is crucial for any new business. By basing your selections on facts, not whims or personal tastes, you position your business for success."
