Ideas for creating hit products

1. Product selection: Select product lines based on the company's own advantages (do not cross categories too much);

2. Capacity: The capacity here can be understood as the necessity of competition among similar products;

3. Resources: Investigate the domestic supply chain, the selected categories, and where the production resources are mainly distributed;

4. Price: You can expand the scope and find more manufacturers to cooperate with;

5. Service: Good products also need to be built on a strong service system (pre-sales and after-sales).

Hot sales route

1. Red Sea Route

Products that have already been formed and are highly competitive have the following characteristics:

1. Product controllability (color, style, size selection, infringement);

2. Price controllability (suppliers can be changed at will, online or offline simultaneously);

3. Logistics controllability (you can change the product line at will according to whether it is powered, liquid, cutting tools, etc., and cooperate with logistics providers with good prices and channels);

4. Inventory controllability (there are many suppliers to choose from, and inventory measurement can be prepared by region, product volume, and price).

2. Blue Ocean Route

Most of them are based on independent development. There are many factors to consider in this route:

1. Product confidentiality: internal members of the company, external members, including manufacturers and logistics providers;

2. The initial investment costs of the product: what is the minimum order quantity and how much inventory should be prepared;

3. At what levels are the consumer groups concentrated: Each product has a fixed consumer group, and relevant data needs to be well researched and analyzed before the product is put into sale;

4. Consumer demand index: Private model products are improvements and research and development based on the original functions, so the demand index of the same type of products also needs to be clearly investigated, whether it is high or low.

Hot-selling product selection criteria

1. Product size

Product Width

Basic requirements: less than 18 feet (45.72 cm);

Quality requirements: less than 15 feet (38.1 cm).

Product Weight

Basic requirements: Lighter than 5 pounds (2.26 kg);

Premium requirements: Lighter than 3 pounds (1.36 kg).

The size and weight of the product will directly affect inventory costs and logistics transportation. For the same product, the size will also affect the customer's experience. Therefore, the right product size is very important for creating a hit product.

2. Product Pricing

Basic requirements: $15-100;

Boutique requirements: $20-75.

Any product that costs more than $50 is not within the customer's "impulse purchase range." Perhaps higher profits can make up for the lack of sales volume, but this is only limited to a certain range.

3. Product minefields

Avoid products that are subject to seasonal fluctuations and can only be sold in a specific season. For example, Easter eggs can only be sold in spring and Christmas trees can only be sold in winter. Products that can be sold stably throughout the year can not only reduce business risks, but also provide more data feedback to facilitate sellers to make relevant adjustments.

Avoid products with a production process that is too complicated or takes too long . Once you receive a large order for these categories, it means production pressure to deliver on time and the risk of transportation damage. In addition, the number of refunds and exchanges for these categories is also higher than that of general categories.

4. Product highlights

Niche products. When conducting product selection research, sellers may wish to consider niche markets that are not yet saturated, which means weaker market competition, a fixed demand audience, and stable market profits.

User pain points. When selecting products, sellers must pay attention to whether the product solves the customer's pain points. Especially when screening similar products, the design or changes of some product details may solve a customer's pain point, thereby gaining the customer's love and purchase.
