Be First To Deliver What Your Buyers Crave!
There is a common misconception in small business that trends are random and
only affects big companies. This is not the case and trends don't simply popup
out of nowhere.
Ebay certified provider and founder of
What Do I Sell,
Lisa Suttora says trends are the result of a process she
refers to as "
trend blending".
According to Lisa, "
Multiple trends often
merge to form the next big trend. If you look closely at today's hot items, you'll recognize
evolved versions of products that were popular yesterday."
To turn your part-time home business into full time
income, then you need to know how to get into the minds of your
customers.
Shoppers may not be consciously aware of why they're drawn to your store, but
the psychology of it is that you offer items that tap into what they already want and
which they're already familiar with.
Know Your Market
Trend blending often gives rise to tightly specialized
niches that appeal to a very specific, very targeted
group of shoppers. Realize, not every niche market is
looking for the cheapest deal.
One of the biggest trends in
online shopping is actually
the movement towards luxury goods and higher
income shoppers.
By having a daily updated wholsale product
sourcing guide like the
one available to small business members of
World Wide Brands, you
have a jump start over any seasonal, fashion or electronics competitors.
What Trends Have You Noticed Lately?
Trends don't simply
jump out at you, many are so low-
key we overlook them because we hear them everyday.
Think about these current trends:
Green living, natural health, raw food
diets, high tech products in our homes.
No matter where you look, trend blending is going on.
Lisa's observation on this can work for you:
"
Statistics show that most online
shoppers have annual incomes of $75,000 or more.
In fact, the newest big demographic of online shoppers is
millionaires.
So don't assume you can't sell a niche product because
it's not under $25. If it's on-trend, you may do just as well, or better, with
a niche product that costs $5,000."
