What can you sell to make money? Ideas for a profitable business. Rating of the best-selling products in Russia and around the world What is good to buy on

There is an opinion that the sale of by-products often brings no less or even more profit than the direct sale of fuel. Whether this is true or not, the question is open. However, the fact that by-products are in great demand and a store at a gas station is never unprofitable is undeniable. Buyers are not embarrassed that prices in such shops are usually 15-25 percent higher than in supermarkets, cafes and specialized stores. What are the most popular products?

For gas stations, the assortment is selected especially carefully. This is due to the limited availability of both retail and warehouse space. All products are divided into three main groups:

The so-called goods of impulse demand - that is, those goods that a person buys under the influence of a sudden surging desire, and does not come for them purposefully;
Goods for the car: anti-freeze, oils, additives, road atlases, glasses for drivers, interior fragrances and so on;
Those products that can be bought in the supermarket, but closer to the gas station (bread, mineral water).

Sometimes these three groups are complemented by lottery tickets and flowers.

Foodstuffs

Many gas stations now have their own mini-cafe or at least a coffee vending machine. And, according to some studies, only this machine is able to make up to 50-60% of the revenue of a gas station. The fact is that some drivers stop by to refuel not so much for fuel as for a cup of well-brewed drink. It is logical to assume that they will most likely acquire fuel there as well. Progressive gas station owners have taken advantage of the coffee machines and are incorporating them into a variety of customer loyalty programs. This attracts drivers who are willing to change their route in order to get free coffee.

Baking, hot food, as well as snacks, mineral water, lemonade, ice cream, and energy drinks are also in great demand. Recently, there has been a tendency to increase the demand for goods for a healthy lifestyle.

Automotive and seasonal products

In the cold season, antifreeze or, in a simple way, “non-freeze”, begins to be actively in demand. High-quality glass washer fluid can significantly increase the profit of a gas station and improve customer loyalty. Interestingly, it is gas stations that influence the popularity of a particular brand. This is due to the fact that retail space is limited, and car owners have to purchase what is on the shelves. In the off-season, products such as napkins and other hygiene items and wiper blades become popular. Barbecues and all accessories accompanying a picnic can also be attributed to seasonal products popular at gas stations: skewers, plastic dishes, lighter fluid.

Impulse demand goods

This category of goods includes both food and non-food products. Several years ago, a hugely popular impulse commodity was discs made by various music artists. Currently, disk recorders have been replaced by those in which flash drives are inserted, and the demand for discs has fallen. Also toys are included in this group of goods. Keeping a child busy on the road is not an easy task, especially if the assortment of toys taken with you has already been used in all possible ways. Chocolates, chewing gum and other similar goods are also in demand and they are usually placed in the “red” or “hot” zone on the way from the entrance to the checkout point so that they are one hundred percent caught by all visitors.

Hello dear reader! I am glad to welcome you to the vastness of our business magazine.

Recently, my colleagues and I thought about the question of which product is the most popular in Russia. I think every thinker sooner or later comes up with this question. Personally, he began to torment me from the moment when we decided to launch our online store, but that's another story.

Usually, one question causes a series of subsequent ones, so today there will be not only the top-selling goods in Russia, Ukraine and the CIS - we will also consider with you:

trending products in online sales;
what is in demand on message boards (www.avito.ru);
top 10 purchased products worldwide;
which is currently being bought by a Slavic brother in China (using the resource ru.aliexpress.com).

Purpose of this article- general development, expansion of consciousness. You will learn how to analyze the demand for a product and its seasonality using publicly available Internet tools, and most importantly, you will be able to show off new knowledge in front of your comrades. Let's start!

The best selling product in Russia and Ukraine

This information is unlikely to help you find a niche for your store, but at least it's interesting. You have a minute to think for yourself which product is the best selling in Russia.

And no, the answer is not food, not cigarettes or even alcohol, but we buy it almost every time we go shopping in a store or market. In general, the purchase of this product takes place automatically. Have you guessed?

So, the title of the best-selling product in Russia is the usual one. plastic bag... Even on such a seemingly insignificant product, you can make millions of rubles.

The world has already begun to realize that plastic products cause great harm to the ecology of the environment. The problem is that polyethylene does not decompose for a long time, and this leads to the death of 1 million birds, 100,000 marine mammals and a huge number of schools of fish. In the USA and Europe, they began to refuse cellophane bags.

What to focus on when choosing a product for sale?

If you are interested in a product for sale, you should go the other way. You shouldn't be looking for the most popular goods, which are bought by the population in “wagons”. First of all, we need to look at the prospects and profitability - our product must also be ready for unfavorable conditions, since economic crises are not uncommon now.

The list of the most bought goods in Russia contains the following:

small household appliances;
electrical goods;
sanitary goods;
everyday tools;
household chemicals;
clothing and footwear;
childen's goods;
other goods of daily use.

Let's go through the list of the most demanded products:

meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey);
semi-finished products;
chicken eggs;
frozen seafood (fish);
vegetable and butter;
cow's milk;
flour and pasta;
sugar and salt;
Black tea;
cereals (buckwheat, rice, millet, oats);
vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage);
apples, bananas.

Something has more demand, something less. How to decide?

Focus on your interest and think what is closer to your heart.
Everything is learned by comparison: in order to make a choice in favor of a particular product, an analysis is needed (there will be a separate article about this).

It is beyond the scope of the article, so we will consider this problem in more detail another time. And now let's start compiling a rating of the most bought goods by Russians on the Internet. Go!

Top best-selling products on the Internet in 2017

The Internet is a large and interesting market for three reasons:

now the Internet coverage in Russia is about 74%, while there is a constant growth;
the share of users in the older age group is also increasing;
mobile Internet audience rushes at cosmic speed (30-40% of people visit our site from smartphones or tablets).

70% of all Russian Internet users entered the network at least once from a mobile device - a year ago, for example, this value was 56%.

Where does this rapid growth of the Internet lead? Together with it, the demand for goods and services increases, and this is what we need. Next, we'll look at:

the most demanded and popular products in online stores;
the most trending and hot products on one-page pages for today.

1. Search for a product in demand for an online store

In an effort to track the most in-demand and popular products in online stores that are best bought by the public in 2016, we came up with the following top 10 list.

Small household appliances are the leader in online sales today. The low price and compact size make these products almost ideal (but this product is not suitable for sale in your online store).
Perfumes and cosmetics .
Mobile devices.
Laptops and tablets.
Internet gifts and toys.
Licensed software.
Clothes and footwear.
Books. Surprisingly, paper books are still popular. It would seem that they are expensive, in addition, there are many sites where you can download the literature of interest in electronic form for free. However, this does not stop paper books from selling.
Online ticket booking. You will not be able to imagine how many planes are in the air now (how will you have a free minute, go to flightradar24.com - this will expand the boundaries of your consciousness).
Large home appliances.

Most of the listed products will not work if you are planning to open an online store from scratch. Problems and breakdowns can arise with equipment, and in order to make money normally, you need to order in bulk. It is unrealistic to compete with large players who take goods in large wholesale and sell at prices typical of regular stores.

2. One-page: what is it and why is it needed?

One-page, landing page, landing page, landing page are all synonyms.

There is such a category as wow-goods (in Russian wow = wow) - impulse demand goods. Have you ever had such a thing that you walk past a shop or kiosk, saw an advertisement for a product on TV or the Internet, and you immediately wanted to buy it, although before that you did not even know about its existence? Chances are high that it was a product from this category. TV shops often sell wow goods too. Here are some examples:

an effortless slimming belt;
simulators that pump muscles without your participation;
all kinds of water, light, fuel economy, etc .;
creams to enlarge something;
copies of branded watches, iPhones.

Are you familiar with CPA networks, affiliate marketing and traffic arbitrage? If not, there will be a separate detailed article about this. In short, a CPA network is an intermediary between a webmaster (the person who works with sites and traffic) and advertisers who have a product. They are ready to pay a commission to the webmaster for promoting and selling the product. CPA networks sell wow products through one-page sites. Remember the phrase that demand creates supply? In the case of these guys, the opposite is true.

Here is one of the many pater networks - http://m1-shop.ru/. After registration at the link http://m1-shop.ru/ofers, the offered goods will be available, with which you can familiarize yourself (about 300 offers). I will cite 10 of them that were top at the time of this writing.

So, your attention is presented to the top of the most popular products that are sold through one-page sites in large volumes.

Mask for blackheads and acne Black Mask.
Solar powered PowerBank.
Army wrist watch Amst.
AB Gymnic belt.
Corrector MAC.
Waist Trainer Corset.
Mangosteen is a slimming syrup.
FishHungry Bite Activator.
Hair spray Ultra Hair System.
Titan gel.

Some data from Avito - the largest bulletin board in Russia

I tried to find information for 2016, but only came across an official report two years earlier. Since there is fish without fish and cancer, we will continue to talk about 2014. However, the information is interesting and useful, so there will be something to think about.

Carrying out the research, Avito analysts found out that website users skimmed 34.4 billion rubles in such product categories as:

personal belongings;
goods for home and summer cottages;
hobbies and leisure;
Appliances;
goods for pets.

A third of the turnover was taken over by the categories "Personal belongings" and "Goods for home and summer cottages" (6.5 and 5.5 billion rubles, respectively). Funny point: Compared to the previous year, sales in these categories grew almost the same - by 38.6% and 38.3%.

And the best-selling category of goods turned out to be “Consumer electronics”: laptops, computers, video and cameras, smartphones and other gadgets were sold on Avito for 15.2 billion rubles. The amount is not small, but when compared with the previous year, the growth is only 13.2%.

3.5 billion rubles were spent on Hobby and Leisure, an increase of 47.4%. And they did not spare money on pets and spent 4.7 billion rubles: the annual growth was as much as 82%.

fan;
netbook;
swimsuit;
smartphone;
prom dress;
tent;
Yorkshire Terrier;
video card;

From this list, we can conclude that demand is strongly influenced by the season.

How to analyze the seasonality of a product?

If you are reading this article because you are about to open an online store or start your own business, it is important not to miscalculate the seasonality of the product.

Let's look at the product that is at the beginning of the top on Avito - a fan.

To analyze seasonality and demand, we will use the well-known service https://wordstat.yandex.ru/. It is designed to measure user interest that can be applied to the product we have selected. Before starting work, you need to register / log in to the service. If you do not want to constantly pop up captcha, it is better to immediately disable adblock or its equivalent.

Next, we select the region that interests us (in my case, I look at the data for Russia, Ukraine and other CIS countries). Next, in a special field, I enter the query “buy a fan”, as it more accurately reflects the intention of users than just “fan”.

The service shows that over the last month there were 236,554 impressions for this request (wow, not bad!). We can conclude that the product is in demand. And I'll check the seasonality of this product! I just did a search for "By words", now I will switch the checkbox to "History of requests" and see what happens. The graph shows that in 2016 the demand for fans has doubled compared to last year (apparently, this year is VERY hot). So, if you bought fans and started selling them in the winter, it probably wouldn't work. Therefore, never buy a product without testing demand!

Of course, the example I gave is obvious - it is clear that it is hot in summer, and the demand for fans will be greater than in the cold season. However, not all products are that obvious. It is also better to look for niches where the schedule is just starting to climb - it is better to prepare for the season in advance.

Rating of the most popular products from China

It is difficult to determine the sales leader of the Chinese market, because everything is bought on it and in huge quantities. Have you ever ordered something from China? Personally, I ordered a watch, a scale, an e-book case, a bag, a UV lamp, and all sorts of other things. If anyone does not know, here are 2 sites where the bulk of the population of Russia, Ukraine and the CIS orders goods from China:

Aliexpress is more designed for retail purchase - here you can order goods in one copy without any problems. However, sometimes it is more profitable to buy a product in a regular online store than here.
Alibaba is a large wholesaler: prices for goods are much cheaper, but you will have to order in bulk. Delivery of goods often costs several times more than their cost.

mobile phones;
clothing and footwear, including copies of world brands;
laptops and tablets;
Appliances;
computer components and accessories;
goods for sports and recreation;
bedding;
furniture;
electrical goods;
equipment and machines.

Of course, the data does not represent 100% reality, but the truth is somewhere near.

What is a hot commodity

A hot product is a product that is in great demand and it is easy to find a buyer for it. However, not in every case, popular goods can be unambiguously recognized as reliable and profitable for the seller - those that a person will come for, even if he is limited in money. Therefore, before choosing products for sale, it is always necessary to take into account not only the level of sales at the moment, but also in the future, as well as make calculations of the profit per unit of goods released at the checkout.

Good selling product- This is a product that will be equally taken both in a crisis and at moments of economic development.

It is easier and wiser for an entrepreneur to get a little less income by selling reliable products (always needed) than expensive products from the risk group, which are acquired on a case-by-case basis. Compare cereals and delicious seafood: a person can eat buckwheat several times a week, while he will take caviar or shrimp only on a holiday.

The simplest examples of a product in demand

If you sit down for a minute and think about the most frequently purchased in Russia goods, bread, cigarettes and alcohol come to mind. This is true, but this does not mean at all that opening a business selling any of these products is guaranteed to bring high and stable incomes or any advantages over other products.

Take, for example, cigarettes - one of the most popular goods in the Russian Federation. The cigarette business is far from the most profitable. It is all the fault of the system, which is aimed at the formation of maximum prices in this particular niche.

Or consider alcohol.

Not every drink from a huge variety will be on the list of popular leaders. Expensive elite drinks - wines, cognacs, whiskey in rare cases can bring a stable income to a business owner in the same way as cheaper and more affordable drinks do. The most popular drink is beer. For 5 years already, its sales have been confidently keeping their positions at the same high level. But the success of the sale of low-alcohol products is influenced by many additional factors: place, assortment, competition, brand.

But no matter how high and massive the sales of alcohol and tobacco products are, there is another very profitable product for the business that everyone purchases whenever they go shopping. And this place of honor belongs to an ordinary plastic bag. It's not so easy to start polyethylene production, but people make millions of rubles on this insignificant product.

Popular hot products in Russia (in examples)

Now in the Russian Federation, the population is mainly interested in simple bakery products, vodka and cigarettes. But here, at the start, an entrepreneur needs to be careful: certain restrictions stipulated by law apply to all of these positions during pricing. Thus, it will be necessary to ensure an extremely large turnover in order to make a profit, and this is difficult in the sales market, since the competition in these segments is very high.

Currently in demand on the territory of the Russian Federation are:

small household appliances, budget electronics;
electrical goods;
household chemicals and personal care products;
Kids toys;
simple food products (mainly bakery products, semi-finished products, oils, cereals and cereals, vegetables, tea).

However, a hot product and a profitable one are not the same thing.

The latter includes everything that the buyer is willing to spend his money on, without thinking too much about the amount. Such products, small and rather banal at first glance, can be sold with good earnings. Usually the assortment of this retail " cheap"Is presented in small shops and stalls, and is purchased for free in China: dishes, hygiene products, stationery, little things useful in the household (clothespins, hangers, hangers, adhesive tapes and the like). Thus, a profitable product is everything that surrounds us every day, which a person uses regularly.

The buyer will always need food, therefore, even in a crisis, the leading positions in terms of sales do not hand over food products. Consumers try to avoid expensive offers and look for affordable analogs, for example, instead of natural cheese, they take a cheese product.

Another profitable position is gastronomic products by weight. Nuts, teas, dried fruits, dried seafood and other trifles, which are purchased in huge quantities in China or Asian countries, and then sold in small containers at a premium. So much and cheap turns into little and expensive.

How to choose a hot product for your niche in business

Everyone chooses a certain strategy for himself:

sale of risk-free goods with a smaller but stable profit;
trade high-risk goods and gaining unstable, but at times high profits.

Most entrepreneurs will choose reliability, which is the first option. In search of a product for commerce, it is worth starting not from the most popular varieties, but from promising and profitable ones.

Most purchased goods in the country can be grouped into the following categories:

small household appliances - among them kettles, irons, mixers, blenders, hair dryers and others, without which life is in principle possible, but with them it becomes more comfortable and simple;
electrical goods - this includes sockets, switches, light bulbs, adapters and other similar items that a person needs;
sanitary items - plumbing and accessories that tend to be damaged - these are gaskets, valves, taps, showers and others;
daily use tools - include hammers, saws, nails, screws, screwdrivers, axes and many other things needed in the household;
household chemicals - includes various cleaning products, detergents, personal hygiene items that people acquire with regular consistency;
articles of clothing and footwear - goods that a person will not buy every day, but cannot do without them;
goods for children - clothes, toys, shoes, accessories, accessories of everyday life, etc .;
other everyday goods.

There are also leaders among food products. According to statistics, the most purchased over the past year in the country were:

meat, including chicken, pork, beef and turkey;
chicken eggs;
semi-finished products - are in great demand among women;
frozen seafood and fish;
vegetable oil and butter;
cow's milk;
pasta, flour and flour products;
salt, sugar;
cereals - rice, buckwheat, oats;
Black tea;
fruits - bananas, apples;
vegetables - onions, potatoes, cabbage, carrots.

Among all the variety, some products are in great demand, others less. How to make the right choice and focus on a certain type?

Orientation on own knowledge, interest and dictates of the heart... Not every product will be equally satisfying to work with. Somewhere there will be a lack of knowledge, somewhere experimental knowledge, somewhere the frequency of realizations. The key to the success of any sales should not lie in the desire to make a profit as soon as possible. First of all, you need to love your own business.
Comparison of the most suitable product groups for you... If you are torn between several types of goods and do not know which one to give preference to, then a detailed analysis will help determine.

The first steps towards a big business

After you have decided what to sell , you need to answer a number of questions that will help you develop a business strategy. So this:

where to sell;
to whom to sell.

The solution to the first question can be found in two ways:

Open a point of sale, go to the market , rent a room for a store, rent a stall or retail space, and so on.
Trade over the Internet. This method will reduce the prices of goods and attract more buyers.

Any of these options has both advantages and disadvantages. Not every product can be successfully sold on the Internet, and not every product on store shelves is able to interest in the same way as in the vastness of the network.

Now let's get back to the second question - who are we going to sell goods to?... If the products are in demand mostly among the elderly population, then there is no point in organizing trade via the Internet. Regarding real trade, it is also important to determine with buyers in order to profitably locate your sales markets in the future.

The next step is to take into account all your capabilities in such aspects:

availability and volume of start-up investments for starting a business;
when opening a retail outlet, it is advisable to conduct preliminary marketing research in the intended territory: demand opportunities, traffic flow, the likelihood of competition, etc .;
it is necessary to take care of the maximum demand in the chosen place, as well as the stability of demand for the product even with changes in the economic situation.

With a detailed study of the listed aspects and the correct answers to the proposed questions, starting a business will not seem so difficult and intimidating.

Online trading

Offering products on the Internet is beneficial for several reasons at once. First, the coverage of the global network in the Russian Federation is over 70%, and this figure is growing every year. One way or another, almost all residents of the country have access to online stores. Secondly, if earlier purchases via the Internet were popular among young people, now these people are getting older, and the "army" of young visitors to the sites is constantly growing, that is, the sales volumes are also growing. And, finally, thirdly, the rhythm of life forces us to look for faster ways to purchase the necessary products, so online stores come to the rescue (they are visited from computers, and 1/3 of users - from tablets and smartphones). In addition, shopping in them becomes more profitable to save the budget.

Hot goods on the Internet

On what to build an online business, what is more required for users who prefer to shop online?

Electronics

The first group includes all kinds of electronic devices and electrical goods with compact dimensions: home and kitchen appliances, mobile gadgets, laptops, readers, tablets. As for various teapots, toasters and coffee makers, it is better to organize their sale at well-known sites, since opening your own online store is a costly business, and besides, you will need to constantly compete with major players.

Perfumes and cosmetics

This group includes eau de toilette and perfumery water, cologne, products for face and body skin care, cleansing serums and gommages, and decorative cosmetics. The assortment can also be supplemented with accessories for the application and removal of products.

Gift items and toys

Even in the absence of money, people tend to pamper a loved one with a present. Unusual gizmos are purchased for adults, and toys (plush, plastic, radio-controlled) are for children. Quadrocopters and accessories for them are becoming popular.

Clothes and footwear, accessories

People are forced to go to online stores for such a seemingly simple product because of the high price in ordinary retail outlets. It is often possible to find a similar product on the Internet much cheaper, plus with free delivery there is a double benefit, and a person does not need to leave the house once again.

Green tea, coffee

The trade in these products is promoted by customers seeking to lead a healthy lifestyle, who stand up for cleansing the body and saturating it with useful elements. Despite the crisis, many people cannot deny themselves a cup of delicious drink.

Online shopping prices

Any person organizing a business is interested in what kind of cost markup can be made on the assortment, how much revenue can be ultimately obtained by selling all the purchased goods.

On the most common goods, the markup cannot be large, from 5 to 35%, and only large stores can afford to do this. But even they, like smaller entrepreneurs, strive to find goods with a high mark-up from 100% (umbrellas, bags, gifts) to 300% (covers for gadgets, seasonal products). It is most profitable to purchase cheap Chinese products, and then sell them on the territory of the Russian Federation many times more expensive.

If you plan to open a store from scratch, then it is better to abandon the sale of equipment and electronics, since they must be purchased in large quantities, and customers may experience breakdowns during operation.

At the start of starting a business, it is quite possible to start trading wow-goods (buying impulse demand). This includes various items that will help a person do something without much effort (weight loss belt, exercise equipment for certain muscle groups, devices for savingelectricity, fuel). The main thing is that such products do not belong to perishable (since the percentage of utilization of expired raw materials is high), do not require special storage conditions (humidity, temperature), since you will have to look for additional premises and spend money.

Statistical data

As an illustrative example, we will give information collected using the famous Avito portal, where both individuals and companies are engaged in the sale. So, over the past year, users spent almost 34 billion rubles on the purchase of products from 5 categories:

personal goods - 6.5 billion;
products for home and summer cottages - 5.5 billion;
products for recreation and classes - 3.5;
household appliances - 15.2;
everything for pets - 4.7.

The leaders according to statistics were seasonal goods (for example, fans, tents were bought well in the summer), gadgets and components, clothes.

total stats for 2016 made it possible to create the following list of the 10 most frequently purchased goods on the Internet:

Small household appliances became the leader in Internet sales.
In second place are cosmetics and perfumes.
An honorable third place was taken by mobile phones. Moreover, about 10% of citizens RF regularly update their gadgets by purchasing phones on the Internet at better prices. On average, people buy models that cost up to $ 600.
Then there are tablets, laptops.
Toys and original gifts.
Licensed software.
Shoes, clothing, accessories.
Books. Quite interesting is the fact that, despite the free, easy accessibility and convenience of the electronic version of books, paperback literature is being sold at a good pace over the Internet.
Online ordering and payment of tickets.
Large home appliances.

But most of the most popular products are not suitable for starting an Internet trade from scratch. For example, even if you have enough money to invest in a large household. equipment, then you need to buy it only in bulk and in large quantities. In this case, the costs of breakdowns are not excluded. A market already full of big entrepreneurs, with whom it will be difficult to compete.

Difference by region

In many ways, the demand depends not only on how much money the client has in his wallet, but also on the seasonality. The keyword selection service will help you evaluate this parameter. wordstat.yandex.ru... On this site, you must enter the request of interest and select the region. Then the system will show how many times the word was requested during the month. To assess the seasonality of a product, just switch to the "request history" and look at the given data. Based on the information received, it is easy to conclude which product will be more interesting to people in summer or winter.

Of course, you can make assumptions based on life experience, but statistics are much more reliable than subjective hypotheses.

For example, a rain umbrella should be needed by a person in the fall or spring, but in reality, this product is most bought from May to September.

Another area for local trade is regional branding... This refers to the production and sale of T-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and other souvenirs with the logos of a district, city or region, or, for example, clothes for Siberians.

As you can see, it is not so difficult to determine the most profitable product, because in fact all these products are everything that we need almost daily. Those things that a person cannot refuse even in a crisis, and will always be in the shopping basket at the exit from the store.

Kids' things

Many netizens who have children order clothes and toys for them from online stores. Let's see what is most often bought on the Internet for children.

Online stores of goods for sports and outdoor activities amaze with a variety of assortments. Everything you need can be found here. Sportswear is exactly what people buy online most often as it really makes sense.

Furniture

Furniture occupies a special place in the list. Buying a wardrobe or sofa online is not new. You no longer have to travel around the city in search of suitable furniture, since a wide range of products from both domestic and foreign manufacturers is presented on the Internet.

Many consumers believe that buying furniture online is not only convenient, but also profitable. You will not be able to find such an assortment of quality goods at affordable prices in any city store. You can slowly study the information about the model you like, and read the reviews of other buyers. At the same time, no one will stand over you and impose what does not suit you. If you put into the search box that people often buy on the Internet, furniture will be one of the first places in the list of goods. And this is not surprising, because buying it online allows you to save a decent amount of money.

Goods for pets

Online trade accounts for more than 20% of the total turnover in our country. Both buyers and entrepreneurs are interested in small wholesale sales. If you figure out what products are often bought on the network, then basically these are the most popular products or highly specialized niches. For example, various pet products are very popular among online consumers.

Online pet shops are created so that people can save their free time. There is a small assortment in regular stores, so you may not always be able to buy everything you need. In addition, purchases on the Internet can be done without leaving your home. It is enough to order the desired product, pay for it and the purchase will be delivered to you directly home, at a time convenient for you.

The most important advantage is home delivery of orders. Now you can buy healthy and tasty food for your pets without interrupting your important business. Online pet products are 15–20% cheaper. This is the best option for buying food and accessories for your pets.

Appliances

Many entrepreneurs who have heard about the advantages of online trading often ask the question whether it is worth buying an online store in order to sell household appliances in it. According to experts, at the moment our compatriots prefer to make such purchases in shopping centers. But the volume of online sales is constantly growing, so it makes sense to open your own online store and start promoting it.

If you pay attention to the list that is often bought on the Internet, you will notice that household appliances are far from the last place in it. Experienced entrepreneurs who have been trading on the network for a long time recommend starting their activities with one product name and gradually expanding the range.

Cosmetics and perfumery

The main advantage of virtual boutiques is that you can shop here at any time of the day or night. All orders are processed automatically, and purchases are delivered to all regions of the country.

As you know, high-quality cosmetics and perfumes cost a lot of money, therefore, before buying such a product in an online store, you need to make sure that you are dealing with a reliable supplier. Customer reviews, which can be found on the network in specialized forums, will help you with this.

Expert opinion

The content of the consumer basket may change under the influence of the crisis. It is profitable for people to buy various goods on the Internet, because their cost is lower than in the market.

Lower wages and higher utility rates have resulted in more than 45% of our country's residents' income being spent on drinks and food. This indicates that the policy of eating up money is firmly rooted in the minds of our citizens.

What is good to sell - 5 high-demand items + 5 fashion items + 5 items suitable for online trading + helpful tips.

If you want to open a business related to trade, then you are probably interested in what is profitable to sell.

This is a completely natural question that arises at the beginning of an entrepreneurial path, because no one wants to work at a loss.

Due to the economic crisis, the purchasing power of the population has decreased, but people still continue to buy goods and use services.

It is for this reason that sales will always be in demand and profitable.

But you still need to find your niche, analyze the demand and set adequate prices, otherwise you can stay at the "broken trough" in anticipation of generous buyers.

How to determine the demand for goods that are profitable to sell?

The opening of any business begins with the analysis of the market, namely the determination of demand.

Why is it so important?

Imagine that you find suppliers from whom you buy goods and open a stationary or virtual store.

In anticipation of the first buyers, spend days, and then weeks, and the goods are still there.

And where are the promised benefits and profits?

Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to conduct a demand analysis.

Demand Analysis Instruction:

Go online.

This will be especially true if you want.

To do this, you need to study the statistics of requests using Yandex Wordstat and Google Trends.

For example, you want to sell educational toys for children.

To do this, type in keywords and check the number of requests.

If the figure is modest, it means that no one is interested in such a product.

In a scenario with a large number of requests, you have a chance to start selling your toys profitably, but at the same time, this niche can be occupied by many competitors that will create a hindrance.

Conduct marketing analysis.

To do this, check the ratio of supply and demand in the selected niche in your area.

Pay attention to what people are buying and which stores are empty without customers.

Also analyze the prices.

Perhaps, they are overpriced for some groups of goods, and therefore the population is not ready to buy them precisely for this reason.

Decide on your target audience.

Here, analyze the gender, age, purchasing power and location of your future customers.

For example, people from a small town are unlikely to appreciate your desire for elite dishes, where one plate will cost 5,000 rubles.

The same applies to the sale of agricultural machinery in the center of a metropolis.

But if in your city there are many young families with small children, and there are no shops with goods for them, but you see that there is a demand for them, then this is definitely your option, and you can sell them profitably.

Conduct a survey of potential buyers.

Draw up a short questionnaire, print the required number of copies and distribute them to the residents of your city.

Questions should be short and succinct so that a person can answer them in just a few minutes.

If you don't want to bother with flyers, then just conduct a survey on social networks.

To do this, find the groups in your city and talk to their administrators.

Try a trial placement of contextual advertising on the Internet.

Let's go back to the online store.

Thanks to this method, even before the start of sales, you will be able to understand what is profitable to sell on the Internet.

To do this, create a landing page on the Internet (the user goes to it when they click on an advertisement), on which you can post information about the product.

Of course, users will not be able to place a real order, as they will be notified that the product is out of stock or there is a problem on the server.

But by the number of clicks from the order page, you can analyze how interesting your product is to the population.

What is profitable to sell: 5 categories of goods "high demand"

Anyone who is at least a little familiar with the laws of economics knows that demand creates supply.

This truly catchphrase aptly illustrates the trade relationship.

When the population has certain needs, then someone has to satisfy them.

And seekers of the answer to the question: "What is profitable to sell?" Come to the rescue.

And what the population wants will be beneficial.

It is customary to refer to goods of high demand:

Food.

But here it is important not to miscalculate, if there is one grocery store for every three residential buildings, then this is definitely not an option.

To sell food products profitably, you can choose one of the following options:

opening a store on a busy street or in a new area of your city (this is especially true in metropolitan areas);
opening stores with a specific category of goods, where you can offer customers a wide range of tea / coffee, dairy products, pastries, organic vegetables and fruits.

Cosmetics, personal hygiene products and household chemicals.

After food, this category of goods is in second place, along with clothing.
Such goods are quickly consumed, so people must constantly update them.
If you want to sell them profitably, then take a closer look at new brands, as well as those that can only be found on the Internet.
Clothes and footwear.
During a crisis, many are looking for an opportunity to save money, so it is profitable to sell inexpensive clothes and shoes.
As a rule, it is updated more often among the population, so you may have regular customers.
If you are ready for a larger-scale business, and do not want to spend a lot of time and energy on advertising, then pay attention to popular franchises.
It is profitable to sell them, because babies grow quickly, so parents are forced to constantly buy something new.
Diapers, hygiene products, infant formula, bottles and other goods necessary for children are in particular demand.
Household products.
Everything comes here, from small kitchen utensils to furniture and household appliances.

What is profitable to sell now?

Now let's move on to what is profitable to sell today.

Small sports equipment and sportswear.

If you take advantage of the current fitness trend, you can create a profitable business.

Therefore, feel free to start selling home sports equipment (dumbbells, elastic bands, steppers, fitballs, weights, etc.), as well as sportswear.

Coffee scrubs and Black Mask.

These products have gained their popularity thanks to.

And despite their great variety, you can break through if you offer girls new manufacturers or a better price.

Original accessories.

Served right, you can profitably sell phone and tablet cases, backpacks, bags, wallets, hand-knitted hats and scarves, fancy chokers, jewelry, pillows, cups, photo frames, candles and home decorations.

You will need to create a certain concept for the chosen direction, and try to offer buyers something that is not yet on the market.

For example, do not sell bags and wallets that you can buy in a regular store, offer handmade accessories or in some particular style.

Coloring antistress (coloring for adults).

This is the bestseller of this and last year.

You can really get hooked on these coloring pages, and having decorated one copy, you want to start a new one.

It's also a great gift.

Therefore, look for a variety of options so that the buyer can choose what he likes.

Beard care products.

Again, it is fashion that has left its mark here.

Increasingly, young people and men can be seen on the streets growing beards.

Therefore, various means for their care are extremely relevant.

Open a small conceptual and stylish store with a wide range of beard care products (oil, gel, wax, shampoo), or create a website to sell them.

The second option is even more profitable, since you do not need to pay for the maintenance of a stationary point of sale.

What is profitable to sell on the Internet?

We have smoothly approached the topic of what is profitable to sell on the Internet.

The volume of online purchases is increasing every year, because buyers derive some advantages from them:

no need to go anywhere and look for something,
you can buy everything that you can't get in your city,
there is an opportunity to think over everything and find a product at a better price.

Of course, it is profitable to sell clothes, cosmetics, children's, sports and home goods on the Internet.

But in this section I would like to talk about those categories that we have not yet touched on.

5 profitable products to sell online:

Electronic equipment and accessories.

This includes smartphones, tablets, e-readers, smartwatches, portable chargers, headphones, cases, protective glasses and films.

A 200-400% mark-up allows you to profitably sell the product and quickly recoup your investment.

Despite the crisis, people periodically change their electronic equipment, especially since now it can be found for every taste and wallet.

Spare parts, cosmetics and accessories for cars.

The constant increase in the number of cars leads to an increase in demand for various components and accessories for them.

And during the crisis, sales on them increase to huge volumes.

This is due to the fact that the population cannot always afford to buy a new car, and therefore prefers to renew spare parts for it.

In addition, not everyone lives in large cities, where there is a huge selection of spare parts, special cosmetics and car accessories.

And on the Internet you can find everything you need.

Drones and quadcopters.

These kinds of goods are booming now, as people love entertainment.

By attaching a camera to them, you can see the earth from a bird's eye view, which certainly attracts people.

The relevance of drone sales on the Internet is due to the fact that initially they could be ordered in foreign online stores.

In addition, it is on the network that there is a large selection of aircraft in different price categories.

Hobby goods.

This includes: embroidery, diamond mosaic, items for drawing, scrapbooking and decoupage, and more.

Opening a store with this content is extremely unprofitable, since it is impossible to gather a large number of people who are carried away in one locality.

LED lightening.

In the era of colossal energy consumption, many are switching to more economical light consumption.

LED lighting is 5-6 times more economical than incandescent lamps.

That is why it is so profitable to sell new generation lighting.

By providing a wide range of lamps in different wattage and price categories, you will be able to meet customer demand.
