_____
Hi everyone, here’s Andrew from Oberlo.
This is the third and final video in our Black Friday 2018 series.
We have already shared our six best methods for getting sales on Black Friday.
You can pick up our tips, tricks and great app recommendations by watching this video
here.
And if you would like to learn some interesting Black Friday facts that are useful for dropshippers
to know, watch this video here.
Today I am going to share with you ten great products that you can sell in your dropshipping
store this Black Friday 2018.
All ten are available to dropship with Oberlo, and I’ll leave links to them in the description
below.
We picked these products based on two criteria:
One.
Interest in the product has historically grown around Black Friday.
We check this using Google Trends.
Two.
The product has been selling well recently and is particularly eye-catching.
We can see how well a product sells using the Order Count in Oberlo product statistics
.
Let’s begin with the first product on our list, the mini LED projector.
Help your customers take their Netflix addiction to new heights with this nifty gizmo.
Once connected to a device such as a laptop or smartphone, the LED mini projector beams
audio-visual content onto a large surface, like a wall.
This product is great for dropshippers.
As we see from this Google Trends graph, mini projectors hit peak interest on Black Friday.
In addition, Mini projectors are much cheaper and much smaller versions of the traditional
projector, which is good news for dropshippers.
It means these little projectors are eligible for ePacket shipping.
Consumers love to bag themselves a great deal on tech products during Black Friday.
If you’re looking for a tech product to dropship, the mini projector could be a great
one to get started with.
Now for a taste of product number nine on our list: the magic garlic grinder.
This clever tool makes light work of chopping garlic.
Simply pop a clove into the slot and then press out minced garlic.
Kitchenware products like the magic garlic grinder are ideal for video advertisements
on Black Friday, as they are a powerful marketing combination of practical and fun.
We made a video detailing how you can market and sell kitchenware right here.
If you are interested in finding out more about the garlic grinder or other great product
recommendations for the kitchen, I suggest you watch that video.
But not until we’re through with our Black Friday list, because next up is product number
eight: the pet raincoat.
This animal raincoat is lightweight and easy for pet lovers to carry around.
And when it starts raining cats and dogs out there, they can quickly put the jacket on
their furry friends to keep them dry.
And it is proving to be very popular on Oberlo.
This pet dog raincoat got hundreds of sales in the last six months.
And the people who bought them like the product.
A customer rating of 4.7 stars from over 250 ratings is excellent news for anyone considering
dropshipping this item.
Another thing the pet raincoat has going for it is the fact that it is unique and eye-catching.
This makes it ideal for Facebook advertising, because it is likely to grab people’s attention
as they scroll through their news feeds.
Combine your pet raincoat ad with an enticing deal suitable for Black Friday, and there’s
definitely potential there for sales during the consumer rush.
Now it’s time for a snazzy accessory for the wrist, with product number seven: smartwatches.
The smartwatch is a classic tech product that begins to skyrocket in popularity around Black
Friday, and hits peak interest just in time for Christmas.
This is the kind of product for which consumers wait patiently to see special offers and deals.
This is because tech products like smartwatches tend to be relatively expensive.
But during the Black Friday frenzy, consumers know they’ll be able to grab themselves
a great deal on a smartwatch, and so they are happy to let the special offers come to
them.
That’s why we see steady interest in Google trends throughout the year, and then a sharp
increase in interest once retailers and merchants start setting up their special offers.
If you discount these watches or offer free shipping, make sure to factor that in to your
product’s price.
That way you can maintain your projected profit margins and make your customers happy.
It’s the wonderful aroma of product number six on our list: oil diffusers.
Oil diffusers have taken off recently.
This oil diffuser alone has generated sales by the thousands.
Which is promising news if you’re considering selling oil diffusers this Black Friday.
That’s because, as we can see in this Google Trends graph, interest in oil diffusers hasn’t
even begun to peak this year.
That usually takes place in November and hits the max around Christmas.
If you’re interested in this product for Black friday 2018 then you’ll be overjoyed
to know that we also made a great video all about how to market and sell oil diffusers.
You can watch it by clicking right here.
We’re halfway through our list now, and next up: we’ve got Ponytail hats .
Ponytail beanies solve a common conundrum for long-haired women who want to stay warm.
How do they fit their ponytail under a beanie?
Until the invention of ponytail beanies and caps, there was no good solution.
But in 2016, ponytail beanies blasted onto the market.
Ever since, they’ve continued to peak in popularity around the holidays.
But don’t take my word for it.
Check out the order count on these ponytail beanies.
Over 2,000 were ordered in the past 30 days alone!
The best part about selling ponytail beanies during the holidays is that you prime your
Facebook Pixel to make sales beyond.
Here’s what I mean.
As you sell ponytail beanies this Black Friday, Facebook will learn more and more about the
kind of people who buy from your store.
These will probably be long-haired, athletic women.
When the weather warms up, you can use this Facebook Pixel data to target that same audience
and sell them…
wait for it… ponytail baseball hats!
Barring unforeseen haircuts, your winter customers will probably want to buy your springtime
product offering too.
Our next product is proof that less is more: Product number four on our list: the Wireless
Speaker
Why wireless speakers?
It’s simple.
People love listening to music, but they hate wires.
I will never know exactly how many times I’ve neatly put away my earphones only to come
back later to see they have somehow turned themselves into spaghetti.
That’s why wireless speakers are so great for your customers – they’re portable,
light, and tangle-free.
Plus, from an entrepreneur’s perspective, they’re golden.
They’re relatively cheap to source and they’re light so they’re simple to ship.
Black Friday shoppers love deals on tech products.
So if you dropship wireless speakers this year, make sure you come up with a deal that’ll
be music to the ears of tech consumers.
In at number three: the chakra bracelet
People are becoming more and more interested in well-being and spirituality.
And that’s exactly why we’ve included chakra bracelets on our list of the best dropshipping
products for Black Friday.
Chakra bracelets feature seven different colored gemstones or beads.
The colors are said to help the wearer to experience more positive spiritual energy.
Whether you’re a believer in the benefits of chakra bracelets or not, you can’t really
argue with the data – shoppers go wild for these products during the holiday season.
As you can see, there were two main spikes, with the main one happening right around Christmas
– this makes it a perfect product for shoppers who are looking to pick up gifts for the holiday
season.
And don’t forget: Plenty of Black Friday dollars are spent on gifts.
Number two on this list is a product I know my own mother would go crazy for this Black
Friday: the anti-snore device.
That’s because my dad is a serial snorer.
If you’re also one, or you live with somebody who sounds like a walrus while they snooze,
you’ll know how much of a game changer our next product can be.
You can find a few different varieties of anti snoring devices on Oberlo.
Some are inserted into the nose, others are placed around the jaw.
These unique products allow for great price markups, they’re easy to ship (which means
you can take advantage of the ePacket shipping method), and they’re fairly new, which is
a great combination for entrepreneurs.
Our product statistics tell us that this particular anti snore device is selling in large numbers.
If you import it to your store and target the right audience with the right special
deal this Black Friday, you too could sleep sound this holiday season as the sales roll
in.
There are a bunch of anti snore devices on Oberlo’s marketplace, so give them a try
for this Black Friday.

Wine tumblers
When it comes to the holiday shopping season, and Black Friday in particular, wine related
products are usually a great choice – especially for that person you know who loves the adult
grape juice.
Plus, take a look at the Google Trends data here, you’ll see huge spikes in interest
for wine tumblers around Christmas 2017 and summer 2018.
This means that shoppers have interest for these products all year round, not just for
Black Friday.
These products are available in a range of different styles and sizes, so feel free to
test out different wine tumblers in the build up to Black Friday and try to gain an understanding
of which products your audience is most interested in.
