Niche dropship sites perform much better than general – it is a fact. One thing when you sell a unique camouflage system called ghillie suits and you have limited competition and another thing is when you sell all kinds of suits and need to compete with some top e-commerce players on the market.

Certainly, in addition to some limited competition a niche dropship site has limited amount of potential buyers, but if you know who they are, what and when they search and browse online – then you are armed with the tools to reign this market niche.

I am sure you will spot hundreds if not thousands of niche products browsing the dropship lists, but it takes time to research those products – market, demand, competition – before you decide that the product is worth more of your time and efforts.

Description:

For sale 1 year old established niche e-commerce site that sells a unique camouflage system called ghillie suits, very popular among hunters, paintballers, military snipers and nature photographers.

Handbags are that kind of accessory that women like to buy again and again – hence this product has a good potential to get repeat visitors and buyers. Bags are easy to ship and manage – so it is a perfect product for online sales. It is preferable to sell some sort of discounted brand bags – you are guaranteed a high demand.

Google Insights for Search say that bags enjoy stable demand over the last four years and helps us to get an idea about hot products in this niche (just need to remember to occasionally check for new searches on the rise and make sure to find out the cause of the trend):

Brilliant and Profitable Dropship Business

• URL: www.stylishbeanbags.co.uk
• Established: Mon Jun 30 2008
• Page views/month: 3,200
• Monthly Revenue (USD): 750
• Google Pagerank: 1
• Uniques/Month: 700
• BIN: $1 000

Description:

I set up StylishBeanBags.co.uk originally to retail funky and cool bean bags to the UK market. Orders taken would be fulfilled by the supplier company who ships the product out!

My plan was to run the business as a dropship operation which it is, and then in the future I would source some bean bags myself to hold as stock and ship them out myself to earn greater profits.

I’ve decided not to continue with the business and am just in the process of setting something else up instead (short attention span!) hence the sale. I have even bought an SSL certificate that I have not had the time to install.

The website used to be hosted elsewhere but there was a £40 monthly hosting fee, so I moved the store to zencart and my own hosting so there would not be the high monthly hosting fee!

The sale includes:

• stylishbeanbags.co.uk domain name (hosted with www.123-reg.co.uk)
• stylishbeanbags.com domain name (hosted with godaddy.com)
• complete website files
• 6 months of hosting with access to the hosting cpanel – you can move the store elsewhere
• all graphic logo files
• SSL certificate
• Dropship supplier details

Most of the sales were generated using Google Adwords. This website has great potential for growth and expansion.

You will need to open a free Godaddy account and 123-reg.co.uk account so I can transfer the domain over to your control.

Revenue Details:

The website works with a UK dropship supplier of beanbags. For each sale the website generates, you will earn 15% of the sales.

I have promoted this site using Adwords and averages £500/month in sales (about $750).

Traffic Details:

Most of the buying traffic comes from Google Adwords.

This dropshipped product is in no way less hot than the one we covered in our previous dropship case study Just as a proof – check this page occasionally.

Though it is hard to predict if the product is likely to last that hot, but I think that this is the category that will be in high demand for years. New product generation will come, but the demand will be still huge…

•    Page views/month: 4,000
•    Monthly Revenue (USD): 2,000
•    Google Pagerank: 0
•    Uniques/Month: 1,500

Description:

This site focuses on selling the Pandora Battery to PSP users who have a bricked PSP. This is highly targeted niche with a product that is in high demand and will be for some time.

Main traffic generation is through adwords with only about a $5 a day campaign. There are no products to handle or ship, everything is handled by a dropshipper who I will provide to you.

Every item listed on the site brings in a 50% profit. The profit margin is huge. Hardly any upkeep involved, just placing orders with the dropshipper after payment from customers and responding to customer emails.

You do not need to be knowledgeable on the items being sold. I rarely if ever get a technical question, most of the customers are pretty tech savvy and understand how the items work.

I will provide support for the new owner to help get them up and running, but you really will be able to plug in and start making money with little work involved.

Revenue Details:

Customers pay for items through paypal.

Traffic Details:

Traffic comes mainly from adwords.
