But what if I tell you there are ways to learn about your competitors and\u00a0find profitable products<\/a>?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon recently introduced the Product Opportunity Explorer tool to help sellers find customers\u2019 interests without spending a dime.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This article will explain everything you need to know about Amazon Product Opportunity Explorer and how you can use it to find the most profitable\u00a0niches on Amazon<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s jump into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a quick peek into the article:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Product Opportunity Explorer is a free Amazon product research tool<\/a> designed to help sellers understand customers\u2019 behavior based on different metrics and purchasing behavior. Sellers can quickly uncover new product opportunities and expand their catalog<\/a> without spending huge amounts of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Product Opportunity Explorer doesn\u2019t just help sellers identify new product opportunities, it also shows recommendations about niches to target based on the seller\u2019s current listing catalog and sales data. You can also search based on category or keyword to fine-tune your search to find the\u00a0most profitable product for your business<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n So whether you\u2019re a seasoned seller or just getting started, consider adding Product Opportunity Explorer to your\u00a0product research<\/a>\u00a0toolkit. With its unparalleled data accuracy and ease of use, it\u2019s a must-have tool for anyone looking to succeed in Amazon\u2019s marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Product Opportunity Explorer is an excellent tool for finding new niches, whether you\u2019re trying to build a new product or want to expand your current product portfolio. Let\u2019s see how to do that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s say you want to sell a yoga mat product. You can start by typing the keyword in the \u201cYoga Mat\u201d search bar and click the search button.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrow down the search result by adding filters to avoid low-quality products that do not meet the criteria.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, let\u2019s say you don\u2019t want to sell low-price products and don\u2019t want the price to go higher than $80, so you can put $50 as the lowest price and $80 as the highest price filter to see only the products between that range.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the next step, focus on the Search Volume and Search Volume Growth metrics in 360 days and 90 days to identify high-growing niches. Also, look at the average price to ensure a good profit margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, here we can see the \u201cxl yoga mat\u201d niche has positive quarterly and yearly growth\u00a0trends\u00a0<\/a>and decent pricing. So we can choose the niche for further analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have identified a niche, it\u2019s time to explore its potential. Click on your selected niche, in this case, \u201cyoga mat,\u201d to view the niche details page. Here you\u2019ll find five tabbed sections with different information.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This section lists all the products within a niche that cumulatively receive 80% of clicks<\/p>\n\n\n\n after customer searches, along with multiple metrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can easily understand the following aspects of a niche from the product tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you see the click share is high for a product with a high number of Total Ratings, it means customers are giving more importance to ratings and\u00a0reviews\u00a0<\/a>to buy the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, this example shows that the highest click-share product has a decent number of high ratings. That means shoppers look at the ratings and reviews to make the purchasing decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, if the click share is within the same range for all the products, that means ratings don\u2019t influence the purchasing decision much, and it might be an easier niche to enter into the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you notice the click share is higher for products with low average selling prices (Past 360 days), it indicates that these products are more price sensitive, and customers are more likely to buy the product with the lowest price.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you see the click share isn\u2019t higher for the low average selling prices (Past 360 days) products, it means customers look at quality, reviews, and other criteria to buy the product and don\u2019t necessarily mind paying a premium for high-quality products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this example, you can see a $58.02 product has a 14.9% click share, and a $30.75 product has a 12.2% click share. It shows that the niche is not that price sensitive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n By looking at the click share, you can understand which type of product title and images gets the most attention from the shoppers. This metric helps you structure your own product listing to maximize clicks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this example, the products with a clear picture showcasing the brand image get the maximum click share. Also, notice that these product titles have the dimensions clearly mentioned in the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you analyze and identify a product, click on it for additional metrics and insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:\u00a0<\/strong>You can also use the\u00a0Product Tracking feature<\/a>\u00a0on the SellerApp Dashboard to track the product for further analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The product metrics tab shows you five different types of data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following section provides insights into a product\u2019s pricing and offers trends over the past 90 days. The insights include,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n By analyzing these metrics, you can understand your product\u2019s pricing in the niche.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This section shows the two most essential fees that help you calculate the approximate profit margin for the product.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n It shows some important metrics that give you an idea about the product\u2019s growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, If the click growth for the product is negative for the past 30 days but positive for the past 90 days, it indicates a temporary decline in sales with an overall positive trend.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, if the click growth is negative for both periods, further analysis from the \u201cTrend\u201d graph is required to draw a conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The trends section shows the past year\u2019s trend for the BSR rank, click count and the total offer depth for the product.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, this is a trend graph for a yoga mat product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you notice carefully, you can understand the clicks for the yoga mat peaked during the new year, when many people make resolutions to be fit and healthy, and then drop for the rest of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n It showcases that this product is sessional, and the click growth might be negative during\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n the rest of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, if you intend to sell a product with year-round demand, this type of product may not be ideal for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This section shows the specific niches the product appears in on Amazon. Along with the niches, it also shows some metrics, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This section lets you understand which niche to target if you sell a similar product. For example, here you can see the \u201cear clips headphones\u201d have the highest 90-day growth trend. So if you sell a similar product, target this niche to maximize growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Customer Review Insights section provides a detailed analysis of the positive and negative feedback that a product receives on Amazon. It makes finding a gap in the existing products much easier for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, in the example given, some negative reviews of a \u201cyoga mat\u201d mentions issues with smell and slipping. So, you can develop a product that resolves all these customers\u2019 problems to stand out from the competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the tool also provides a bar chart that demonstrates the impact of different aspects of the product on its star rating. It allows for the prioritization of high-priority issues that require immediate attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, in the Negative Review Snippets, you see that both \u201cGrip\u201d and \u201cSmell\u201d have received negative reviews for the \u201cYoga Mat\u201d product. However, when considering the Impact on Star Rating, you can see that \u201cGrip\u201d has more positive than negative impact, while \u201cSmell\u201d has the opposite. Therefore, solving the smell issue should be prioritized when creating a new product.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The search terms tab on the Niche Details dashboard offers valuable insights into customer search behavior and the performance of search terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This section contains the top Amazon customer search terms for a niche, along with a few metrics such as,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, if a search term experiences high growth over the past 180 days but negative growth over the last 90 days, it may indicate a short-term downward trend in demand for the product. However, this trend may reverse once the product season arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, \u201chot yoga mat\u201d has a click share of 57.1% means customer search for this search term 57.1% times to find a product in the niche.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Track the highest converting keywords from this listing using the\u00a0SellerApp Keyword Tracking tool<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro Tip:\u00a0<\/strong>If you already have a product in the niche, use the\u00a0SellerApp Product Keyword tool<\/strong>\u00a0to see if these high-converting search terms exist in your listing. If not, optimize your product listing with these keywords to maximize conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The insights section gives you a thorough understanding of the different dynamics in the niche, including how saturated it is,\u00a0product launch<\/a>\u00a0potential, overall customer experience, and many more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n By using metrics such as the \u201cAverage Out of Stock Rate,<\/strong>\u201d \u201c% of Prime products<\/strong>,\u201d and \u201c% of Products Using Sponsored Products,<\/strong>\u201d you can quickly identify high-impact product opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b\u200bFor example, a low\u00a0\u201c% of Prime Products<\/strong>\u201d means sellers can quickly gain momentum for new products by adding a prime offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, low \u201cNumber of Products<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cClick Share<\/strong>\u201d values indicate the perfect niche to launch a new product, as this niche has low competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the niche has a low \u201cNumber of Products\u201d and high \u201cClick Share\u201d value, it indicates that a specific brand or a product dominates the niche, and new products might not stand a chance here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find a niche with a high \u201cNumber of Products\u201d value and low \u201cClick Share,\u201d use the\u00a0\u00a0\u201c# of Successful Launches,<\/strong>\u201d \u201c% of Products Using Sponsored Products,<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cAverage Review Rating<\/strong>\u201d metrics to determine if the niche has good launch potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recommended Guide:\u00a0What is Brand Gating On Amazon?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Trends section provides various metrics to help you understand niche trends.
