To determine which products work best for your store, here are some tips to follow:

1. Identify a problem your customer may have

One way of making sure you secure sale is knowing the fact that your product solves a problem that your customer may have; while also reducing some of their other burdens. For example, let’s say your customer wishes to preserve youthful and radiant skin but cannot afford to go to monthly treatments.

To solve this specific problem, your store can provide various anti-ageing solutions that are not only cost-effective but are just as efficient and powerful as treatments provided by experts. This relieves some of the other nagging problems your consumer may have which can certainly be beneficial for your store and ensure they keep coming back for more.

2. Cater to your customer’s passions

What makes cosmetics and skin care so popular is that they are personalized items that provide numerous benefits. With so many options to choose from, one can expect fierce competition when it comes to marketing to a specific niche in the market. One way of putting your business ahead of others is to find a common passion or interest among your target consumers.

For instance, if your consumers are passionate about organic and vegan options then perhaps you can customize your store to include these specific products. However, make sure that when you do cater to a specific niche, you must make sure the demand for the product and the willingness to buy is apparent.

3. Include your own passion

Other than considering your consumer’s specific passions, it also helps in tapping your own personal taste when deciding between products. For this step, it helps to answer some of these questions as you play the role of a consumer:

• Is this something I need?
• Is this something I want?
• Is this a reflection of my passion and interest?
• How can I benefit from buying and using this product?
• What makes me prefer this product over others?

Asking these questions help you empathize with consumers who more or less share the same taste levels as you. Another perk in catering to your own interests is that you will have no regret selling a product because you yourself believe in its effectiveness and why it’s worth selling.

4. Look for a gap that needs to be filled

Certain products that are in demand and popular tend to do well for a period until they are easily replaced with another solution that more or less have additional features. While it is good to sell products that have a constant demand, another technique in separating your business from the crowd is to find the gaps that certain products aren’t able to fulfill.

For instance, let’s say a specific beauty product is popular because it is made by a popular Korean brand, and is compatible with a person’s lifestyle. While they certainly fill in some of the needs and wants a person has, there are certain gaps that this product may not be able to fill, such as:

• Does it come in smaller containers in case a person is travelling?
• Is it compatible with the person’s skin type (dry skin, combination or oily)?
• For example, the product the customer wants is for oily and combination skin only. Is there an alternative in case a person with dry skin wants to try a similar product?

These are only some of the questions you need to ask, and if you could answer these questions with a solution that improves a user’s experience then that product is certainly worth investing in.

5. Use your own experience and expertise

People who sell items they are passionate about are more aware of some of the features that make them sell compared to items they are not very passionate about. If you sell beauty products, you may already be aware of what makes a product appealing and what doesn’t. Aside from its features and design, taking into consideration of your experience when dealing with a certain item can certainly help you narrow your choices when it comes to filling up your inventory stock.

With these tips, one can carefully select the different products they can stock in their inventory without worry. While the products are certainly an important asset to the business, entrepreneurs should also make sure to establish a good and healthy relationship with their main suppliers and wholesalers to ensure success.
