Top Winning Products Flashcards

Why are seasonal products risky as long-term winning products?

Answer: Demand collapses once the season ends

Seasonal items sell hard for a short window then drop, making them poor evergreen choices.

Why should you avoid products that infringe on trademarks or copyrights?

Answer: They risk store shutdowns and legal action

Selling branded or counterfeit goods can get your store banned and lead to lawsuits.

Answer: High breakage leads to refunds and bad reviews

Fragile items frequently arrive broken, increasing returns and damaging reputation.

Why are products requiring complicated sizing (like clothing) trickier to dropship?

Answer: Inconsistent sizing causes high return rates

Sizing mismatches between suppliers and customer expectations drive costly returns.

Why is shipping weight an important factor when picking products?

Answer: Heavy items raise shipping costs and cut margins

Bulky, heavy products incur higher shipping fees that eat into profit.

Why should beginners avoid heavily regulated products like supplements?

Answer: Legal compliance and ad restrictions are complex

Ingestible and health products face strict ad policies and liability concerns.

What is a key risk of products with very long supplier delivery times?
