How to pick good products to dropship on Amazon? Here are a few tips and a recommendation to let a pro to the market research. After taking notes about the look and layout of different stores in your niche, browse through the Shopify app store to find apps that allow you to model your store after other successful brands. You might include countdown timers, shoppable Instagram galleries or affiliate programs. You can also add pages to your website such as refund policies, FAQs, shipping information, and more. When it comes to banner images for your homepage, feel free to use relevant stock photos from Burst. You’ll be able to find images for a range of niches and they’re free to use and modify on your store. If you’re looking for more stock image websites there are reams of free resources online.

If you’re brand new with no testimonials or product reviews, it’s going to be hard to get sells. People want to hear what previous customers have to say about your business and products, that’s where social proof comes in. Without good reviews and testimonials, you’ll have lower conversions overall. The easiest way to get product reviews is by asking your suppliers for them. Don’t reach out to all of your suppliers, just focus on reaching out to suppliers for the products that are selling the best.

I recommend ShipBob, a YCombinator-backed startup. ShipBob does everything FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) does, but better and cheaper. ShipBob doesn’t charge for picking or packing or warehousing. If that sounds too good to be true, their business model is that they negotiate cheaper volume-based rates for shipping, they charge you only what the normal postage price would be, and they keep the difference. They have a great API and integration with everything.

How to find the perfect products ? A few words about dropshipping market research. There are tonnes of online communities and forum that you can join and begin to do research through. Facebook has hundreds of open and close communities that can help you understand the needs and wants for people in certain areas of the world. If you want to limit your dropshipping business to a country or region you can restrict your research to groups in these areas. Alternatively, you can open your search to many different areas or just search for niche groups that have people from around the world in them. There are many worldwide groups and forums around areas like veganism, gardening, fitness, and so many other subjects the list is too long to note. Check these groups out and notice if products or problems are mentioned. If problems are discussed find a product you could sell to overcome this. Or you can let an expert to do the product market research for you while you focus on marketing or improving your website. See more details on Dropship on Shopify.
