For private label sellers, the most imperative, and often most difficult, part of business is finding a product that will sell like hotcakes. Most sellers spend a tremendous amount of time on product research, because a good product will gain traction whereas a poor product is simply money down the drain. Here we explore ways for product research as well as things to consider during this process.

Pay attention to surroundings, passions, hobbies, problems

For some people, product ideas come naturally. They simply pay more attention to their surroundings and products they use on a day-to-day basis, and think about how these products can be improved upon. Some people come up with product ideas for things they need, but can’t find on the market. Also, keep your eyes open when out and about, check out what products are popular in boutique or specialty shops, and think about your own hobbies and what products are relevant to those hobbies. For example, someone who enjoys lying in a hammock but does not have a backyard for hanging one might come up with an indoor space-saving hammock idea.

A positive business mindset can help you win in business, and nowhere is this more true than on Amazon. Almost everyone you know could start in an online business if they put in the work, but they choose not to. They think of all the things that could go wrong, and are ultimately too scared to even begin.

Amazon is THE place for a good deal, so why not excite your buyers with something a little more special than just a sale price?

Amazon promotions are a great way to increase sales on an entire line of complimentary products or on just one item. To learn how to succeed with a temporary promotion on Amazon, read on.

Amazon has three different types of promotions:

• Money Off: This promotion works by incentivizing customers to buy more products from your brand in order to receive money off of their total (either a percentage or a specific dollar amount)
• Buy One Get One: Customers can receive a free item if they meet the qualifications–note that customers will have to add that item to their cart to receive it, as it won’t automatically be added if they qualify
• External Benefit: You can offer customers some other type of benefit to be received after the order, such as membership to a private online community or an instructional video
