There are few ways to really succeed in the DropShipping industry without doing a lot of market research and keeping it up to date. Well, spoilers, there is one. It’s at the end of this article.
Don’t Go Into DropShipping Without the Correct Homework.
Where to start? Begin with developing a detailed market profile. This is, frankly, an art that can’t be explained in a single article. Understanding potential customers, customer pain points and trending products are all crucial. Once those questions have been answered, success is attainable.
DropShipping market research isn’t all mysterious and complicated. A good tactic for getting useful data quickly is to determine five key demographic factors: Geographical location, Level of education, Lifestyle, Shopping habits & Preferred payment method.
Once this data has been collated, the real marketing can begin.
Competitor Analysis
Knowing the competition is imperative. If serving the same market as a competitor is the preferred option, it is vital that the planning and execution are flawless. There are generally two options. Picking a slightly different market and specialising in serving customers better than the competition, or attempting to do a much better job serving the exact same market. That second route won’t be easy.
Getting to Know What Products And Buying Experiences Customers Want.
Buying today is not just about getting the right thing for the lowest price. Arguably, it never really has been. Shoppers today want ‘a buying experience’. They know there are probably 200 retailers selling the exact thing, and every retailer will be within a few per cent of the same price. That means customers will be choosing who to buy from based on more ephemeral factors. The buying process has to be rewarding. And there are many different ways to achieve that.
DropShipping Market Research ‘Musts’ – Pricing, Margins Etc.
Running a business has to generate a profit. Having a clear understanding of all costs is key – product, shipping, salaries, etc.
Trusting the data and allowing it to guide decisions is a difficult process to start and trust. But will pay dividends in the long run. These decisions can be nail-biting, and you won’t always get them right.
