Well, as you would expect, winning products are your best selling ones, the ones that sell in a day or even less. Products that your customers love and keep on asking you when they come back in stock are your winning products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let&#8217;s go into what you need to look for in a product in order to spot if it\u2019s a winning one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_know_youve_found_a_winning_product\"><\/span><b>How do you know you\u2019ve found a winning product?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below we\u2019ve put together a list of ways, you can also call it a guide, that will help you spot the winning product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Look_for_the_%E2%80%9Cwow%E2%80%9D_factor\"><\/span><b>Look for the \u201cwow\u201d factor\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, this one may sound easy but in fact, it\u2019s quite hard to find a \u201cwow\u201d product these days. You need to look for unique, amazing products, the ones that will just make your customers exclaim: Wow! Where can I find this product? Why haven\u2019t I seen something like this before? I want one now!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you get these remarks from a customer or a prospect, then you have found the wow factor product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hard_to_find_products\"><\/span><b>Hard to find products<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, sounds simple, but trust us it\u2019s not. It\u2019s hard to find a new product or one that you can\u2019t find so easily on other online or physical stores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hard-to-find products are the ones you don\u2019t normally find in a retail store or in their area. In most of these cases, a customer is willing to pay more for shipping and is willing even to wait a bit longer for their orders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To give you an example, think of innovative, new electronics. There are many products like that that people can&#8217;t find in a normal electronics store. Or think of unique handmade bags or jewelry, again many people would want to pay for a one-of-a-kind backpack or ring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea is to find a unique selling point for your products, something that will make them stand out in the crowd.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_profit_margins\"><\/span><b>Good profit margins<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to spot out a winning product is to check if that product has a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">profit margin high enough that it can cover the cost of goods and advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, be extra careful when calculating the total price and if it\u2019s in line with its perceived value, all is good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line is: if your product won\u2019t have good profit margins, then it\u2019s not the one for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, try to find a product that costs at least $20 (or $19.95) with a 2.5x \u2013 3x markup. So, if your shipping fees are $8 and you can sell that product for a total price of $24.95, then you can get a 3x markup.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_product_that_solves_a_problem\"><\/span><b>A product that solves a problem\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wow factor and the hard-to-find products can also solve a problem. One of the most important qualities of a winning dropshipping product should be this, to solve a problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People will always opt for products that make their life easier and help them save time and energy. When you find such a product, then you have found a winning one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is also one way you can find the best dropshipping niches, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/how-to-find-the-best-dropshipping-niches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have a look at our article for more about this<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_No_advertising_restrictions\"><\/span><b>\u00a0No advertising restrictions<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to think about advertising even before choosing a product, as this will probably bring you the most customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, don\u2019t forget to check Google and Facebook terms and ad policies, for example, before making any decision. That way you can find which products you are not allowed to advertise on these two major ad platforms.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, it\u2019s well known that you can\u2019t have <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ads for tobacco products, adult content, or face masks on both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10146 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Finding-winning-products-on-AppScenic.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Finding-winning-products-on-AppScenic.jpg.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Finding-winning-products-on-AppScenic.jpg-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Finding-winning-products-on-AppScenic.jpg-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Finding-winning-products-on-AppScenic.jpg-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Finding-winning-products-on-AppScenic.jpg-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, stay away from products that could get you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">into legal or financial problems in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dodropshipping.com\/products-to-avoid-dropshipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Read this well-researched article on this<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_competition\"><\/span><b>What\u2019s the competition<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is for when you know your niche or what type of online store you want to have. If, let\u2019s say you want to open a bag store where you sell only unique handmade products, then checking on your competition is definitely worth it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, find successful ecommerce stores like yours and see what their product range is and if they have some sort of best sellers page. And even if you want to sell different types of bags, you still can learn a lot from their success story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is your competition advertising their products, which products do they highlight more, which social media platform they are most successful on, do they have a blog, and what are their most-read articles?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can learn so much by just analyzing your competition, from which products to sell to marketing and advertising them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_next\"><\/span><b>What\u2019s next?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say that now you have made up your mind and know a bit of what you want to sell.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your next question would be: where can you find these products?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AppScenic<\/a> can be a great dropshipping platform if you want to sell unique, high-quality products from over 100 categories.

Search for groups on Facebook that may be interested in your products and see what they talk about. What type of problem can you fill with your products? Maybe they want better shipping prices or are always waiting too long for an order to get to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Instagram, you can follow influencers that have your exact audience. You can check what they are advertising or posting on their page. Read the comments to the posts you are interested in and see what you can learn about your audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, keep in mind that after you decide on a product, you then need to build up an attractive, user-friendly online store. Then, you have to advertise it in such a way that you can get the right people to click on your ad and get to your store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to finish off, finding a great product to sell it\u2019s only the beginning.
