Product Overview
Most new sellers pick a product based on a gut feeling, then discover too late that margins were thin or three established competitors already owned the search results. The E-commerce Product Research Toolkit replaces that guesswork with a single 10-sheet Excel spreadsheet that scores, compares and calculates the numbers before you commit any money.
Each sheet has working formulas and sample data already entered, so you see exactly how the profitability calculator, competitor tracker and weighted scoring system behave before you replace the samples with your own research. It is built for Amazon FBA, Shopify, Etsy and dropshipping sellers alike.
Key Features
- 10 professional sheets — Dashboard, Product Research, Competitor Analysis, Profitability Calculator, Product Scoring Matrix, Trend Tracker, Supplier Comparison, Niche Finder, Reference and Instructions.
- Auto-calculating formulas for profit margin, ROI and break-even point on every product you enter.
- Weighted Product Scoring Matrix that rates products on 7 criteria and returns an automatic GO, MAYBE or PASS verdict.
- Competitor Analysis sheet to track pricing, ratings, strengths, weaknesses and threat level for each rival listing.
- Trend Tracker for logging monthly search interest and spotting seasonal patterns before you order stock.
- Supplier Comparison sheet to evaluate vendors on quality, cost, minimum order quantity and communication.
