In this article, you will find a thematic selection of high profit margin products: this item type is typically considered to be the best choice for dropshipping store owners who don’t have enough professional background yet.

Quite recently, we were talking about the possibilities of selling expensive products in a dropshipping store. As we have figured it out, this particular type of items can be a winning choice for experienced entrepreneurs, but for a beginner, it’s better to start with something less demanding.

This is why we decided to show a sample selection of high profit margin products from AliExpress – these items are suitable for any entrepreneur regardless of their dropshipping knowledge and tech experience!

How we selected the best high profit margin products to sell online

We had the following criteria for these items:

• Low price

As you will see it further, all of the items in this list cost less than $3. Low-priced items are a beneficial choice for any dropshipper. First of all, they let you set a sufficient price markup without scaring away the potential buyers – this is exactly how you get the desired high profit margin. What’s also important, they don’t cause much trouble in case of a refund – with such an insignificant initial price, any AliExpress seller will process the necessary operations with no hesitation.

• High rating

It’s not enough for the perfect dropshipping product to just be cheap – if it has a low quality, it sees no demand, causes customer dissatisfaction, and ruins your store reputation. This is why in this case, as usual, we were only considering the items with 4*+ product rating.

• Belonging to the same niche

Instead of picking random cheap AliExpress items, we decided to follow a logical system, and selected the products that are unified by a specific topic (after all, only a store that is built around a clearly defined dropshipping niche can truly be successful). For this particular case, we concentrated on home & garden items decorated with plant pattern – as we have figured it out through the thorough market research, objects with plant pattern and floral prints are one of the hottest room décor trends for 2018 that are likely to stay popular for years to come. As of now, these decorations dominate fancy social media accounts, highlight the interiors of posh dining establishments, get featured in top-brand marketing campaigns, and basically, are seen everywhere. Doesn’t it make them a promising choice for a dropshipping store?
