We have discussed not long ago the research tools and techniques to discover the products in demand to sell on eBay:

- eBay Pulse
- eBay paid market research reports
- Amazon movers and shakers
- Amazon best sellers
- Amazon new releases

Now I would like to talk about spotting buzz products. Buzz products are relatively new products on the market that get much coverage and publicity and as a result are in high demand with early adopters and other types of consumers.

A simple sample of the buzz products is Apple iPhone. Dropship Apple iPhones and you are guaranteed a nice volume of sales if you suggest a competitive price – for that purpose, you need to set proper relations with dropship merchants/ distributors and wholesalers.

How to define if a new product is hot and is likely to sell great? It is easy and hard at the same time.

Firstly, you can’t define it within one day-week – you need a system, a list of resources to read/ check regularly and make notes of those products that are mentioned again and again. It is a process that takes time and experience. Samples of such resources see above. Add to that Yahoo! and other news resources.

Secondly, you need sort of specialization and knowledge of the industry you are about to focus your dropship business. Then you add to the above observation resource list other magazines and websites to keep your eye on.

Once you have spotted a buzz product recently introduced on the market it is your task to find dropship merchant or dealers.

Easy way is to buy one of those lists of verified dropshippers.

Hard way is to make research and contact dealers directly.

If your dropship business is focused on selling buzz products in addition to a growing market demand you get another important advantage – much lower competition. Traditional consumer product niches are tightly packed with unlimited number of merchants and dropshippers and buzz products are sort of new opportunities that you should not miss.

REmapperTM Delivers Dynamic Maps Block Level Forecasts for Real Estate Professionals

Interactive Web site takes the guesswork out of buying and relocating with unique dynamic class-based gradient color heat maps.

San Jose, CA – December , 2007 – Imagine being able to accurately pinpoint a property’s future value, so that everyone from investors to brokers to agents to developers can make informed and profitable purchase and location decisions. REmapperTM, the newest and most innovative real estate Web site to hit the Internet in years, delivers just that and more.

REmapperTM announced the long awaited beta launch of the new web-based mapping and graphing tools today. REmapperTM offers a system of proprietary algorithms that take much of the guesswork out of real estate investing and a unique location analysis tool. The site applies proven statistical analysis to the latest economic and demographic data. Unique data such as block level business growth and vacancy are updated monthly and quarterly, allowing everyone to consider forecasted values when buying or selling property. By filtering through up to 640 variables that affect property values at the block level, REmapperTM will help investors make smart, informed decisions, and give real estate professionals and agents a tool to sell with quality information, like no other.

As they say, its location, location, location, NOT market, market, market OR county, county, county. So if location is important, REmapper is a core tool for anyone to everyone in the real estate industry.

Most Real Estate sites simply have what’s on the market and price trends. However, what is most important to the investor or home owner or real estate professional, is what affects price movement at the local level. Typically price alone has anywhere from 45% to 75% of what affects price movement, say the mathematicians at REmapperTM. REmapper let’s Real Estate professionals view the remaining variables in both real-time rendered gradient maps and least-squared monthly regression lines (to reduce outliers) to the block level. With such unique monthly and quarterly variables as: new jobs, new businesses, growth, income change, and the latest vacancy figures which statistically makes up for what is missing in the elements than just looking at prices.

The REmapperTM method has been in development from more than two decades, starting from one MBA’s passion to know which investment was best. With quick visual answers backed up by solid data and statistics. That is the essence of REmapperTM.

REmapperTM uses a combination of GIS (Global Information System) technology and reliable demographic and economic data. Embedded mapping algorithms and proprietary financial modeling algorithms are then applied, delivering dynamic gradient heat maps that show specific locations with high potential for price appreciation. Gradient maps are uniquely dynamic, rendered in real-time, and zoom-able to the block level, so that investors or developers can pick the right block to investigate.

Dynamic maps, as opposed to static or simple mashups. Each time the user zooms, the maps are re-rendered on the fly and the scale in the legend changes, based upon the XY axis of the map. The maps dynamically change every time the user zooms in-or-out of an area. Real estate is all about location, location, location, and locating the right street within the right block or block is critical. All real estate forecast is relative, and each time the maps are rendered relative to the area, or zoom level. Find the best block within a zip code or the best street within a county to build or invest is what REmapper delivers. Simply put, revolutionary…

During the initial release, visitors can log into the Web site and subscribe for a trial period of 7 days and view income changes. REmapperTM users may select a geographic area as small as a city block or as large as the nation, and then use simple forecasting tools to chart the expected future value of properties within that area. With simple, easy-to-use tools, REmapperTM promises to democratize real estate information.

REmapperTM is a subscription-based service, much like the Multiple Listing Service and other tools used to assess the real estate market. A variety of subscription plans are available, giving users a number of affordable options. Subscribers can also view many variables at the same time with a consolidated report that shows market trends in a graphical format.

Real estate professionals who become subscribers will have a unique competitive advantage with their ability to geographically and statistically pinpoint the exact property that will create a high appreciation investment opportunity. Agents and brokers may also purchase a subscription for dynamic, customized newsletters that they can send to clients and prospects within a targeted geographic market.
