By far, the first and most important step in your success as an Amazon Seller is locating the right product. Even if you have the best marketing strategy and the best optimized listing, if you’re missing a product that sells, then you’ll have a hard time seeing any real results. It is because of this that Amazon product hunting is regarded as the cornerstone of any successful Amazon business.
BizisTech knows that product research isn’t guesswork; it’s a data-driven experience that effectively employs appropriate tools, proper thinking, and the right strategies.
What Is Amazon Product Hunting?
Amazon product hunting. Searching for goods or services to sell. Finding goods and services that have a significant amount of market demand, a reasonable number of competitors selling this product, and a sufficient amount of profit margin to make selling this product worthwhile. The best products to sell have enough people looking for them, but not so many people (sellers) competing that there is no way you could ever get ranked.
The process of product hunting includes looking at keyword search volume, analyzing your competition’s listing, looking at pricing trends, reviewing the number of reviews each of your competitors has, and estimating the potential sales revenue of your product. By correctly completing this process, you will be able to determine what products have high demand in the market and where the best opportunities to sell those products exist.
Why Product Hunting Is the Starting Point of Amazon Account Management
BizisTech consistently informs clients that managing an Amazon account begins long before the first listing is created; product research is where the process begins.
Every area of an Amazon business from sourcing to listing creation, PPC campaigns, inventory planning, and developing the brand, will depend on which product is chosen. Choosing a poor product will create obstacles at every step of the process; a good choice will simplify all other aspects of running a successful Amazon business.
This is why Amazon product hunting is directly connected to your overall Amazon Account Management strategy. The decisions you make during product research shape the entire direction of your Amazon account.
Key Factors to Evaluate During Product Hunting
When hunting for products, there are several critical factors that every seller must evaluate:
Demand – Is there steady demand or demand for this product all year? Using tools such as Helium 10 or Jungle Scout to check the monthly volume of searches for products will give you a clearer picture of your product’s demand.
Competition – Do you have an accurate picture of all the sellers currently selling this product? If your search returns show that the top 10 sellers all have several thousand reviews and are all from large corporations, it will be very tough, if not impossible, to get your foot in the door.
Profit margins – Are profit margins high enough for you to make this business a success after calculating costs of acquiring product, shipping, Amazon FBA charges and advertising? Many sellers forget to account for all these items, making the product they choose unprofitable or unable to scale.
Product size and weight: Smaller and lighter products have lower Amazon FBA and shipping costs, which will have a significant effect on your ability to profit from the sale of the products you choose as well as how easy it will be for you to manage your inventory.
If your research returns show that the top listings for the products you are considering have fewer than 200-300 total reviews, you are in an excellent position to enter into the business. Conversely, products with large numbers of total reviews indicate that the market for that product may be saturated.
Seasonality: There may be peak seasons for certain products. If you choose a product that will only sell well for a short time each year, you must carefully manage your inventory and cash flow to make that product profitable.
Common Mistakes in Amazon Product Hunting
Even experienced sellers make mistakes during product research. Here are the most common ones to avoid:
Not all passionate products sell: Just because you like something doesn’t mean Amazon will buy it; always guide your choices on data alone.
Overlooking the competition: A product needs high demand and relentless competition to be worth your time, so remember to also check both parts of the equation.
Underestimating expenses: Many sellers calculate only their selling price and not their purchase price and other costs associated with selling the items. Always analyze your potential profit before committing to an item.
Not giving product hunting time: It takes time to find a product to sell, and getting sloppy here will cost you down the road.
At BizisTech, the product research we do is based on a thorough analysis and research of every product we recommend will actually have the potential to succeed.
