Dropshipping golf equipment sounds like a lucrative niche, does not it? As if it should help you to join the top dropship league with your golf dropship site.
What golf equipment can you dropship?
dropship golf clubs
dropship golf balls
dropship golf shoes
dropship golf bags
dropship golf carts
etc…
Demand? My idea was that there is a limited demand for this expensive sports, but I was surprised to discover that according to Google Keyword Tool (I think it is trustworthy ) ‘golf shoes’ search over 1,000,000 per month and ‘golf clubs’ search over 6,000,000 times (broad match, Global search) – so there is a huge market for these products:
$0.98 |
6,080,000 |
|
$1.33 |
1,400,000 |
|
$1.59 |
1,080,000 |

So, by now you know that there is a huge golf equipment market and sources to get products to dropship. Are you on the way to your 4-hour week?
Probably, but there is a long road to go yet. You need buyers of your golf dropship products. And this is likely to become the toughest question of our golf dropship journey.
The fact is that most dropship products are tested on eBay. It makes no sense to develop your own e-commerce store and invest into its marketing if you are not sure of the demand and competition levels. Certainly, you should research your competition and potential customers, but this is theory and you need some practice…
OK, back to eBay. My question is – do you think people buy golf equipment off eBay?
Let’s compare two demographic profiles:
People searching ‘golf equipment’ (thanks to cool Microsoft AdLab tool)
Gender: Male-oriented, with the following confidence:
Mal:0.68
Female:0.32
Age: 50+ Oriented with following distribution:
And eBay average user profile:
Gender Unknown with following probability:
Male:0.48
Female:0.52
Age: 35~49 Oriented with following distribution:
Well, I won’t say that they are identical, but it is another nice surprise (the first one was the number of golf related searches – remember). I think you see some audience overlap. I would definitely recommend some deeper Bay golf equipment research using their Market Research Tool and free eBay Pulse before you make your final decision to start your golf dropship bsinesss on eBay…
