What sort of products can you successfully sell online? (Example)
I recently saw this baby carrier from Snugs, and it instantly struck me as a great example of how to do a DTC product right. It’s a pouch bag that wraps around the mom, letting her carry the toddler comfortably without any arm strain. It’s ergonomic, looks good, and most importantly, it solves a real problem. Also, it's a perfect gift for any new mom you know.
Now, here's why this product stands out in the crowded DTC market:
Unique USP: This isn’t just another baby carrier. It's designed to provide proper support and ultimate comfort. It grabs attention and solves an actual problem.
Not Readily Available: This is key. Unlike stuff you can pick up at the local supermarket, this isn’t something you'll find everywhere. That makes it convenient for people to order online.
Clear Target Audience: It's directly aimed at new moms dealing with tired arms. The solution is simple and effective.
I see many entrepreneurs diving into e-commerce without considering these factors. If your product is already on the supermarket shelves, it's hard to convince people to buy it online and wait a few days. That’s why products like this Snugs carrier stand out. They are unique, solve a problem, and are not something you can grab anywhere.
