Amazon Product Research
The process of deciding which new product might be successful, and what will be the best way to develop and sell them consistently.
Our product research should be a fine reflection of a market and include products that will be the business building soon.
Product research helps us to identify the aspects that mean to customers, such as price, design, competitors, market trends, etc.
What is Amazon product research?
Amazon product research is a summarized data of facts that includes market trends, product prices, ranking of the product, category, analysis of competitors, etc. It will help to find a profitable product on Amazon.
With more vendors and stricter sale practices, it is crucial to recognize the old tricks of finding goods poorly to cut in the current setting.
You should create a list of the best-selling items on Amazon that you want to sell. Then, look at which are not selling well. It is a crucial move because you would never want to skip it.
Moreover, you could get very good products from Chinese manufacturers, these shouldn’t be taken as to sell and needed to establish the exact level of quality you expect. In fact, you have to check if they delivered what was you like or need until you are comfortable enough with them to check them every time anymore (although it is always best practice to have every shipment checked, of course, as you’d also want to know what you are selling to allow for longevity of the operation and satisfied customers).
Why is product research the most important?
Product research is a feasibility report that must be created before launching any product. It is like pre-strategic work. With an increased number of sellers, there must be a proper way to compete with them at any level. Evaluation is the foundation of any business.
– To fully comprehend all aspects of a mission, idea or strategy.
-To become aware of any possible issues that can arise during the project’s implementation.
-To decide if the project is viable. That is worth pursuing after considering all relevant factors.
The attitude of Product Hunter
Can Do, Will Do! Creativity!
Product researchers should be dedicated and committed to their tasks. They must be active and well know about the proper criteria for hunting a product. It might be a lengthy process so a researcher should be calm and patient. Can-do attitude & Will attitude is the base of product hinting.
Creativeness
Creative research distinguishes between creative production that refines existing knowledge through adaptation of convention and creative production. It generates new knowledge through interrogation/disruption of form. Innovation, continuous cooperation, and inter/trans-disciplinary or hybrid praxis are basic characteristics, challenging traditional rubrics of evaluation and assessment within traditional academies.
