This is the year to commit to starting a business: the year to test new products, create new ads, and market, market, market. It’s time to implement everything you’ve learned over the past twelve months.
To give you a head start, we’ve compiled a list trending products in 2019 that you can consider selling and what you can do to market those products.
All the trending products on this list can be found in Oberlo.
Men’s plaid shirt
In September 2018, shoppers went mad for plaid, making it one of the biggest fashion trends of the year. But that doesn’t mean this trend is showing signs of slowing down. Just take a quick look at Google Trends.
very year in the autumn and early winter months, plaid searches re-emerge as a seasonal trend. But don’t be discouraged if you’re starting your store in spring. You’ll need a few months anyway to build up your search rankings, especially if you’re starting from zero. That way you can capitalize on sales towards the end of the year at a fraction of the cost—organic traffic from search engine optimization (SEO) is cheaper than paid advertising in the long term.
The best thing about selling plaid fashion products is that you can create a standalone category in your fashion store called “Plaid,” or adopt the trend subtly in your collection of shirts. Either way, you can capitalize on the seasonal trend while allowing yourself the freedom to promote other trending fashion styles as well.
When it comes to trending products with a plaid pattern, start with the simple designs first. Plaid shirts like this one follow the traditional style, making it one of the most popular plaid shirts to date. It may seem counterintuitive to choose the same best-sellers that everyone else is selling too, but you’re far more likely to sell a proven product, especially if you’re just starting out.
Shapewear
For the second year in a row, this product category has made the list. By 2022, the shapewear market is expected to skyrocket to about $5.6 billionin sales. What started as an undergarment has transitioned to a piece for everyday wear.
Fashion retailers are also stocking their stores with bodysuits which help create a slimming silhouette. The shapewear niche offers women a variety of different styles that can either be worn under clothing with different cuts or as a top, though shapewear is still popular within the lingerie industry where it first emerged.
What makes this product worth considering is that it offers retailers a lot of versatility: whether you sell lingerie, women’s fashion, or want to add this category on a store for general apparel, you’ll be able to find shapewear in different colors, styles, and sizes to meet the needs of your diverse customer base.
You can sell trending products like this breathable shapewear, which has been skyrocketing in sales in the past 30 days. It’s anti-slip and it creates a visibly slimmer figure for your customers.
Smartwatches
Around 1.2 billion watches are sold globally each year. And the number keeps rising. Last year we saw the rise of minimalist watches. For 2019, smartwatches will likely continue trending upward. December tends to be the peak month for watch sales—while you can sustain year round sales with a watch store, it would be wise to include a relevant summer accessory to ensure higher profits.
Facebook and Instagram tend to be the most popular channels for growing a watch store. Many watch retailers have influencers take lifestyle shots from where they are in the world, with the typically outdoorsy and luxurious images being perfect for use on social media. Dropshipper Tim Kock launched a watch store and was able to make $6667 in roughly eight weeks.
You can start your first watch store by selling this bluetooth smartwatch which includes a built-in camera, sound recorder, step counter, sleep monitor, calendar, and more.
Minimalist jewelry
Some people prefer the finer things in life. Fortunately, minimalist jewelry has been seeing strong sales growth for online retailers in the jewelry space. Even Google Trends shows there have been more frequent, high volume searches from consumers for this type of jewelry. Despite an expected annual growth of 2% until 2021, there has actually been an overall decline in the number of jewelry businesses available.
When it comes to marketing trending products like these necklaces, the ideal place to find customers will likely be on Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook. A simple way to elevate your jewelry store’s presence is to create videos featuring your products. Videos tend to get bigger slots in Instagram’s Search and Explore pages, which will likely create more visibility for your posts. Also, most jewelry retailers tend to post pictures, giving you a competitive advantage if you’re willing to put in a bit more work.
