When you start a dropshipping business, you may be confused about which products to dropship, POD products or normal ones? It seems that there are millions of normal products and it may be easier to dropship. However, it is also difficult to find a niche among a large number of normal products. In fact, dropshipping POD products is also a good idea. So why choose POD products over normal ones? And how to open a POD dropshipping store? The following will introduce.

The Pros Of POD

You are possible to gain a large profit because POD products are equal to a large profit margin. It is common sense that all personalized products are expensive. Therefore, if you can find the right supplier for your products and reduce the product costs, selling them just at a normal market price is already profitable enough.

You can get rid of the customers’ complaints regarding long shipping times. Customers all know that these products are not ready-made things and it takes time to produce them. Sure they would understand the situation and be more patient.

You don’t need to print anything in bulk. The printer will only print the product once it’s ordered. And you don’t need to buy printers yourself. Your POD partner takes care of all the technical parts of the printing process.

You can gain a foothold in the market competition by selling unique products. There would be so many same products on the market if you sell normal products. However, every product you sell will be unique if you sell POD products and put your creative designs or logos on them. Unique products can improve your market competitiveness.

And you can experiment with designs and different products easily. And you can come up with something more unusual designs for types of products and see if your customers like the products and designs.

It’s easy to customize your designs. And customized products are quite popular among consumers for they also like being unique. You can also provide your customers with opportunities to design by themselves and offer more customization options for your customers. And they would put names or photos on the customized products because these things usually record something and can bring back lots of good memories after years.
