30 One Product Store Ideas for 2024! – Profitable & Unique

Author:



I regularly check out the newest and most successful eCommerce stores online. I want to see what they’re selling, how they’re branding their stores and how they’re advertising products. I like to stay up to date with the latest tactics and I want ideas to implement into my own stores.

If there is one common denominator I’m starting to see more and more, it’s branded one product Shopify stores. They are popping up everywhere and it’s not hard to see why. For some of the best examples, check out my article what is the best one-product store (ranked).

Creating a profitable store based around a single product has a lot of advantages. The biggest problem with a one product store is they fail regularly in the early stages. The two most common reasons I see one product stores fail is:

  1. The branding isn’t right. Don’t assume because you found a great product with a hungry audience of buyers it’ll sell.
  2. Selling the wrong product. Even if you nail every part of your store, optimize your ads and set an attractive price. If you’re selling a boring product, the rest is a waste.

What Makes a Profitable One Product Store?

I have certain criteria I follow when it comes to a one product store. It doesn’t mean every product I choose has to meet each point but it’s essential to review the following list of criteria when selecting a product.

  1. Uniqueness – It can be a regular household product but it needs to be a different or unique version. For example, you may sell a unique kids toy, pillow or kitchen gadget. It’s best if the product can’t easily be found at regular brick and mortar stores.
  2. Brandable – All products can be branded although certain products are much more difficult to build a brand around. Some products already have brand loyalty and others don’t have as much of a need for branding.
  3. Profitable – Can the product be sold at a high enough price point where you can pay for the product, shipping, ads and any additional costs and still make a profit? If the only way to make it profitable is to sell it for a price above your competitors, you’re going to struggle.
  4. Size – How large is your product? If you’re dropshipping from China, you can’t sell anything too large or heavy as the margins won’t make sense with the high shipping costs. If you plan to dropship from domestic suppliers, large and heavy products can still be profitable.
  5. Audience – The product needs a hungry audience of buyers. This usually means a product that either solves a specific problem or a product that has a passionate market. Think about sports, hobbies, music, cooking, parenting, religion and the list goes on.
  6. Marketable – Can you advertise the product on your preferred advertising platform? For example, Facebook is the most popular advertising platform for dropshippers, however, Facebook has very strict rules in place for what products can be advertised and how you advertise them.
  7. Evergreen – The product needs to be evergreen and not too competitive. I’m not interested in selling overly saturated products or short trending products that die out at some point.
  8. Simple – Ideally you want products that aren’t too complicated with minimal moving or delicate parts. Complex products will have more returns and refunds due to breakage and can require customer service due to not understanding how to use the product correctly.
  9. Minimal variations – The more variants the more problems you’ll have. Not to mention if you make a bulk order, you will need to order a bulk amount of each variant which increases your risk and you’ll have to constantly manage inventory as specific variants sell out.

Some of these criteria are more important than others and nothing is set in stone. If I have a gut feeling about a product that isn’t meeting all of my criteria, I still give it a go.

I am often still surprised with the products I have seen people make money from. An average product can be perceived as far better than it actually is if it’s branded right. If you’re undecided whether you should sell a single product, read this article for a guide on one product or multiple products.
