PRODUCT RESEARCH:
“ Product hunting, also known as product research, is the
process of analyzing current market trends and selecting the "winning"
products – those that can generate high sales. ’’
Why is it Important to do Product
Research?
• If you don’t spend adequate time honing your research skills, you’ll be unable to spot
potentially profitable products. Choosing random products just because you like the look of
them and ‘think’ they will sell on Amazon will not cut it, because what you ‘think’ and what
your research will uncover are likely to be total opposites!
• So, don’t sell what you want to sell, sell what sells!
WHY DO WE USE TOOLS FOR
PRODUCT HUNTING?
• Product research is the process of gathering as much information as possible about a
potential product for your store, helping you to determine whether it will make you money.
• It’s an essential step of the selling process, but gathering credible information on product
demand, competition, supply, costs, and advertising is incredibly time-consuming.
• Amazon product research tools make this task easier, quicker, and more reliable by
providing extensive data on potential products, helping you make better business decisions.
