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.
