The dropshipping world is always changing and expanding, so if you want to make it big, it’s so important to know what people are looking for now, and what else they might want to know more.

 

Talking about what types of niches will be welcomed by people in this Q4, you may want to be able to catch a glimpse of people's mentality and study their behavior first.

 

 

No.1 Gifting

The first keyword seems very obvious. Q4 means that families will stay together and celebrate the end of a year since there are so many big festivals are on the way. People want to find gifts to send out to each other as well as looking forward to receiving something meaningful from others for various occasions.

 

No.2 Discount

 

People are waiting for the annual big sales in Q4, like “Black Friday”, and “Cyber Monday” to send “less” and take “more”. Retailers will put lots of discounts on their products and advertise them. Sometimes, these discounts can go as high as 70%.

The decreasing product prices are one of the most appealing motivations for people to purchase more in Q4. The last Black Friday had created a record of $9 billion in online sales in the US according to the data from CNBC, can you imagine that?

At the same time, as we mentioned just now, after going through the quarantine, people are paying more attention to their health. You can see the rising of such related searching on Amazon, not only for people themselves, but they are also likely to place orders for their families, friends, lovers as a gift to show how much they care about each other.

 

 

 

  Example 1. Sleeping-Friendly Pillows

People focus more on their health with this pandemic, so things like healthier pillows, anti-snoring devices, and just about anything related to sleep end up being great sellers.

 

 

  Example 2. Smart Watch

 

Not everyone can afford those expensive devices from famous brands like Apple, but people’s demand for such smartwatch devices is obvious- more and more people are relying on wearable gadgets to track their fitness regime, health stats, and instant messages. And that’s the point for dropshippers can do something.

 

Niche 2. Home Decoration and Furnishings 

 

This niche is the other one being expected to grow in 2021 by eCommerce Forecast, 2021 from eMarketer, which is also worth a try for Q4 selling events. People have more time spent in their homes compared with any other period since 2019, which makes home decoration a proven niche for online stores.

People’s desire to build a comfortable space for ourselves and our family after going through the dark moments leads to the increasing demand for home furnishings. They would like to order related products for their house to create a more comfortable atmosphere to live with families or themselves, especially there are many big sales during Q4.

 

  Example. Decoration Candles

 

 

The decoration candle is a good choice for both gifts and festival decorations. They have always been on Americans’ Halloween and Christmas shopping lists of decorations.

 

 

Females, in particular, are easier to fall in love with these little things so much by both appealing looks and the good smell. From the perspective of health, anxiety-ridden people can seek calm and comfort from scents and dancing flames. No wonder that they are sold so well. Of course, there are many other items in the home decoration niche which are also ideal for dropshippers to have a try.

 

Niche 3. Jewelry

The jewelry niche has always been a hot niche, by 2023, global online jewelry sales are expected to reach 340 billion U.S. dollars, and by 2035 it will reach 480.5 billion U.S. dollars according to a new report.

At the same time, if you still remember the features of potential niches for Q4, the jewelry niche has a high perceived value, meanwhile, they are easy to dropship with little sizes and wights themselves.

 

  Example. Personalized Necklaces

 

 

To express uniqueness, people are more likely to look for personalized items now, as well as for jewelry.

A personalized necklace can be an ideal gift for families, lovers, friends on a festival or anniversary, with their name or other touching words on it. For them, there’s only one special necklace in the world and it can not be found in any physical store. 

 

Niche 4. Pets
