About

I am seeking an experienced market researcher to help identify and list physical product categories that align with my specific criteria. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical skills and a keen eye for market trends. You will be responsible for compiling data and presenting findings in a clear and organized manner. If you have experience in market analysis and can deliver comprehensive insights, please apply. I am an aspiring entrepreneur in need of help to get unstuck in deciding what products I would like to sell via an ecommerce Shopify storefront. Product Criteria • Must be able to source with minimal modification. • Average Order Value (AOV): $300 or more (high-ticket items, either single unit or bundled). • Easy to ship (not oversized, not extremely heavy, not fragile). • Fragmented market (not dominated by department stores, big-box retailers, or a few giant brands). • Not overly saturated (avoid categories flooded with identical Amazon sellers). • No technical expertise required (should not need advanced knowledge to explain, sell, or support). What I Want From You 1. Provide a list of 10–15 product niches/categories that fit the above criteria. 2. For each niche, include: • Example products I might find on Alibaba (generic names, not supplier links). • Typical AOV ($200+). • Why it’s relatively easy to ship. • Why customers consider it somewhat necessary (not just a luxury accessory). • Market fragmentation (why it’s not dominated by large brands). • Saturation level (low/medium/high). • Main risks or barriers (MOQ, seasonality, compliance, etc.). 3. Group the niches into broad themes (e.g., home & lifestyle, pet products, outdoor gear). 4. End with a shortlist of the top 3–5 most promising niches that best fit the criteria and explain why they stand out.
