“Make hay while the sun shines” — this is the main rule for businesses that sell seasonal goods. It is in August–September, when others are just returning from holidays, that entrepreneurs are preparing for the winter season. Let’s talk about how to get goods from China by the start of peak demand and earn the maximum during the holidays.
Dropshipping is not the best model for holiday products. Most people buy them emotionally or shortly before the event. Customers usually don’t think about garlands, Christmas balls, and gnomes while relaxing on the beach. But you should! The first step is finding suppliers in China:
One of the most difficult stages is delivery from China to Ukraine, especially before the holidays. We recommend jumping on the first train and starting purchases right now: the Christmas goods catalog is already ready!
In the holiday niche, there is the concept of seasonality — demand increases tenfold, factories work non-stop, warehouses and terminals are overloaded. Everyone wants to get Christmas decorations from China on store shelves, while customers are willing to spend.
DiFFreight has been in logistics for many years, so we understand the trends. What we recommend:
Modern trends are such that businesses display assortments almost at the end of September. Obviously, these are leftovers from the previous season, which will later be replaced with new arrivals.
This tactic has many advantages. Firstly, it reminds consumers that the holidays are near. Secondly, you can sell out leftovers with discounts, freeing up space.
Thirdly, gradually increase the share of seasonal goods in the assortment. As a result, each time a customer enters the store or website, they buy one or two small items. By the end of the season, they will spend more than if they allocated a budget right before Christmas or the New Year.
One of the advantages is that Christmas tree toys from China and other decorations do not require certification. In fact, imports go directly from warehouses to online catalogs or store shelves.
Moreover, this is an “evergreen” niche. Year after year, the following remain popular:
And more. These items have high profitability, meaning they are bought cheaply wholesale, and retail prices are set with a high markup. Let’s look at the pricing in the table, comparing prices for the same/similar products:
| Item | Short description | Price in China | Price in Ukraine* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas wreath | Plastic wreath with decorations made of cones, cotton flowers, berries. Diameter 30 cm. | $2.3 | $9.5 |
| Artificial Christmas tree | Lush tree 155 cm high made of plastic and PVC. | $18 | $60 |
| Garland | Capsule garland 20 m long (200 lights). Transparent wire, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. | $5.65 | $9 |
| Set of Christmas balls | Set of 16 pcs., champagne color, various patterns. Material — plastic. Ball diameter 6 cm. | $4.17 | $14.65 |
