About this service
We research product options for your shop or marketplace store and score each on the factors that decide whether it can make money: search demand and its trend, the number and strength of competing sellers, the margin after fees, shipping and returns, and risks such as trademarks, safety rules or fragility. You get a shortlist with the evidence, not a list of trending items.
Trending is not the same as profitable
Most product research advice points at what is trending: products with rising searches or viral videos. By the time something trends, hundreds of sellers have usually noticed, prices fall and advertising costs rise. A product can sell in large numbers and still leave almost nothing for a new seller.
We score products on what decides profit rather than popularity. Is demand steady or a short spike? How many sellers compete, and how strong are their listings and reviews? What is left after the platform's fees, shipping, returns and the advertising needed to get noticed? A modest product with steady demand and weak competition often beats a trending one.
The risks that sink new products
Some products look attractive and carry problems that only appear after the stock arrives. Items with registered trademarks or design rights can get listings removed. Electrical goods, toys, cosmetics and anything for children need safety certification in the EU and UK. Fragile or oddly sized products have high shipping and breakage costs. Products with sizing, such as clothing, often have high return rates.
We flag these risks for every product on the shortlist. We also read the reviews of competing products to find the complaints that come up repeatedly. Those complaints are often the best opportunity: a product that fixes the problem buyers already mention has a clear reason to exist.

Questions
Can you guarantee a product will sell?
No. Research lowers the risk; it does not remove it. Your listing, price, reviews and marketing decide the rest.
Do you find suppliers?
We give you the specifications and questions to ask. Choosing and contracting a supplier stays with you.
How do you estimate demand?
From search volumes, marketplace sales rank and review counts over time. These are estimates and we show them as ranges.
