Hey everyone!
I’m looking to get into the e-commerce game and could use some guidance. My ultimate goal is to create a brand focused on desktop accessories like mousepads and monitor light bars. But I’m thinking it might be smart to start with something simpler to get my feet wet.
I’m considering starting with products that are already popular, like watch bands or phone cases. These seem like they might be easier to sell and manage for a newbie like me.
I’d love to hear from those with experience:
- Are watch bands or phone cases good starter products?
- Any other suggestions for beginner-friendly items to sell?
- For something like phone cases, should I work with a manufacturer directly or look for ready-made products?
Also, any tips on finding reliable suppliers would be awesome!
Thanks for any advice you can share. I’m excited to learn and grow in this field!
bruh watch bands and phone cases are saturated af. maybe try something unique like custom keyboard keycaps? theyre trendy now. for suppliers, check out alibaba but be careful of scams. start small, test the waters. and dont forget socail media marketing, its key. good luck wit ur venture!
I’ve been in the e-commerce game for a few years now, and I can say that starting with watch bands or phone cases is a solid choice. They’re relatively low-risk and have steady demand. However, don’t underestimate the competition in these markets.
One thing I’d suggest is to consider print-on-demand products. Things like custom t-shirts or mugs can be a great way to test the waters without holding inventory. You can focus on design and marketing while a third party handles production and shipping.
As for suppliers, I’ve had good experiences with AliExpress for sourcing products. Just make sure to order samples and thoroughly vet potential partners before committing. It’s crucial to find reliable suppliers to maintain your reputation and customer satisfaction.
Remember, success in e-commerce often comes down to your marketing strategy and customer service. Focus on building a strong brand presence and providing excellent support, regardless of what product you choose to start with.
Hey there, fellow e-commerce enthusiast! 
I gotta say, your idea about desktop accessories sounds pretty cool! Have you thought about maybe combining that with your starter product idea? Like, what if you did phone cases, but with a twist - cases that double as mini desk organizers or something? 
Anyway, I’m curious - what got you interested in e-commerce in the first place? I’ve been dabbling in it myself, and it’s been quite the rollercoaster!
Oh, and about suppliers - have you checked out any trade shows? I went to one last year and it was eye-opening. Met some great contacts there. Maybe there’s one coming up in your area?
Keep us posted on what you decide to do! It’s always exciting to see new ventures take off. Who knows, maybe you’ll be the next big thing in desktop gadgets!
