Narrowing Down Product Choices for Your Home Business

Product Choices
Share on Social Media

If you are considering starting a home-based business, you may already know exactly what the nature the different product choices or services you will provide. However, many who decide to take this career path just have a vague idea that they will be happier with a self-directed plan for their financial lives. It is not necessary to already be passionate enough about a particular product or field initially, but you do need to narrow it down considerably before you quit your day job. Read some ideas here for how to pinpoint products that are compatible with your skills, interests and abilities.

Look for high demand products

When looking at the enormously expansive field of products to sell in your business, start narrowing it down by choosing products that have a high demand. This does not, however, guarantee success. You will also be wise to choose ones that have as little competition as possible. If too many people are already selling the product, you will be constantly fighting to gain the edge over others.

Remember also that they have been doing it for a potentially a long time already and have finely honed skills and knowledge that you do not have. If you are still convinced that you can compete an succeed anyway, at least consider specializing within that field. For example, if you choose to sell sports clothing for cyclists, try finding unique styles for women over the age of 50, or manufacturers that allow personalization with logos that cyclists can use to advertise products when they ride. Look for anything that will distinguish you from the pack.

When choosing a product do your research

Do extensive market research to identify exactly who your potential customers will be. Visit websites of your competitors, or related sites that appeal to the age or lifestyle demographic. Decide if they are better reached with methods such as social media marketing, or do they want a phone call or paper coupon in the mail. Find ways to bring the personal touch that larger corporations do not offer. This can be your most effective tool in getting business that otherwise goes to more established companies with large marketing budgets. Only sell products that you can effectively market with the available resources you have.

Exploding topics, and Google Trends are two great places to go to see what is popular with online searches. This can give you a good indication of what niche or product may sell well.

What is the cost for providing the product to customers?

When choosing which products to carry, make sure that you can actually afford to purchase the stock, store it and ship it as needed. If the cost for doing these things outweighs the return on your investment, move on to a simpler product to begin with. Check out options for being a middle-man, where customers buy through you and the manufacturer ships it directly to the buyer. You can also take advantage of affiliate marketing venues, where you refer business without ever having to conduct a sale, bill customers or deliver products. You simply help facilitate a sale in exchange for a small percentage. Your profits would then come from volume.

Still cannot figure out what product choices are best?
