1. Which products cannot be made
For beginners, the following products are not recommended:
1. Commodities that are oversized (over 2kg) and oversized (side length over 60cm) are not recommended due to logistics restrictions. Overweight and overweight commodities will increase transportation costs and reduce product profits.
Dangerous and sensitive products, strong magnetic products, weapons, simulated weapons, bows and arrows, darts, arrows, currency, toy guns, liquids, powders, knives, flammable and explosive, corrosive, toxic, radioactive, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc., Many service providers are reluctant to accept such a product, which actually increases the difficulty and cost of our delivery.
Plants, animals, living things, potted plants, specimens, dried flowers, and harmful printed materials and video tapes that violate the laws of the state
2. It is a red line that an infringing product does not infringe. It is all things that must be guarded. To identify whether a product has a patent, you need to know one of the following three elements: the patent name, the patent holder, and the patent number.
Searching by patent name is the most convenient way to determine whether a product has patent issues. It is also recommended to ask more suppliers for verification, verify with multiple suppliers, and ask more experienced sellers around you. Or directly contact Amazon customer service to inquire whether the product has received an infringement complaint.
Second, these products can be recommended target products
1. The price is between 10 and 50 US dollars, and priority is given to products between 15 and 25 US dollars. The price of this range has a higher audience and is easier to sell.
2. Products with a weight between 0 and 2 pounds and a smaller volume.The delivery fee for the above two journeys and the last journey is relatively low, and the product profit will be relatively high.
3. Safety products (do not violate laws and policies, do not infringe)
4. Products that are not very competitive (nor unpopular products, need to pay attention to differentiation and refinement) Core point: Profitable (US profit margin is more than 20%)
bonus:
1: There are obvious competitive advantages (the solution meets the needs better, the cost performance is better, etc.)
2: The listing quality is better, and new classification opportunities are found to add points
3: The quality is better, and the upgrade can solve the pain points of consumers.
4: The competition is very weak (no one advertises, and you can place orders only by relying on basic operations)
3. Basic rules for Amazon product selection
Product selection rule 1: Analyze the market and determine the direction of product selection.
At the beginning of product selection, you should combine your own interests, sources of goods, and market demand to select products. If there is no supply advantage, you can learn from other hot sellers' products. A major reference point for analyzing the market is hot word search. The product keywords that users search for frequently must mean that users are more interested in them at this stage, but hot words do not represent best-selling words, like the previous hot words. "Chinese fruit basket (Chinese spittoon)", although the search volume has increased for a period of time, but in the final analysis, it is still the netizen's play-watching mentality at play, and it will disappear after a period of fire, so learn to filter the potential from the hot search words. Best-selling words are the top priority for Amazon sellers to choose products.
Product selection rule 2: Analyze the industry and dig deep into the category of products.
After identifying the product, Amazon sellers need to dig deep into the specific products under the product category. If only one or two products have a surge in search volume, it does not mean that the entire product category is worth investing in. If the search volume for most of the products in the entire category has steadily increased, it means that this type of product has a stable market demand and can be considered.
Product selection rule 3: Analyze opponents and gain experience from excellent stores.
The comment area of the best-selling store is always the most important place for sellers to ignore. Buyers' preferences and evaluations of products will be vividly displayed here. The negative review rate, the positive review rate, and whether users repurchase are all issues that sellers should consider.
Product selection rule 4: Analyze consumers, analyze consumers' consumption habits, and grasp the real needs of users.
The so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the consumption trend of consumers determines the trend of the entire market. It is necessary to grasp the consumption trend of consumers, but not to choose products whose consumption market is too narrow, and products whose consumption market is too narrow is not enough. It supports the future development of the store as a whole. 4. How to use the product selection tool to select products as a novice seller on Amazon,
