 On October 31st, it is going down. One of my favorite holidays in the year, Halloween will occur on that day. And if you did not prepare your e-commerce stores in advance, you will not be able to benefit from all of the extra sales and profits that we have during this tremendous Q4 holiday season. Halloween, October 31st, get your stores ready. I will show you what are the best products to sell this year in your dropshipping stores. Quick intro and let's go. Welcome back to learning what are the best products to sell on your e-commerce stores this coming Halloween holiday. So as you know, October 31st marks one of the best, one of my personal favorite holidays of the year, which is Halloween. And this is the holiday where everybody gets dressed up. They go out, trick or treating. The kids get all that amount of candy. And there are simply so many people purchasing products online prior to Halloween for Halloween. So in this video, after years of experience with Halloween, going through this holiday again and again and learning from what products are selling well and removing of course the ones that aren't selling too well, now we've gathered up the best products to sell this Halloween season. Let's get this show on the road. One second before that, if you haven't done so yet, subscribe to our YouTube channel to always learn about the latest and the hottest topics coming out in the world of dropshipping. And we will also help you with full how-to tutorials on how to get your store up and running off the ground, how to scale your business, how to automate it, product research, case studies and so much more. So what are the best products to sell in Halloween? Everything that I'm going over in this video, you can also read about it. I will leave a link to the blog article right below this video. So before we begin with the list of the top 15 products to sell and I'm going to give you more than 15 products in this video. For those of you who know me, I always throw in extra value, extra content inside these videos. So why should we dropship during Halloween in the first place? Yeah, we get it. People are purchasing Halloween products, but they're purchasing other products as well. So what makes Halloween so important? Well, let me show you this graph by Statista showing the annual Halloween sales year by year. So this video, of course, is for 2022. Let's see what happened last year in 2021. Over $10 billion in Halloween sales, meaning over $10 billion were spent on Halloween products in online shopping during 2021. This is what Halloween is about. And I've been stressing this also in 2020 and in 2019 that Halloween is a great time to start selling online. And if you already have a dropshipping store, you can easily add Halloween products and change your store theme around to make it with the Halloween banners, icons, and so much more. So create the whole visualization around your store during Halloween and a week before Halloween. But to start selling products the right time is at least one month before. So you don't want to prepare for Halloween only a week before you want to sell Halloween products at least one month, even two months prior to the holiday to give people enough time to see the products in your store, purchase the products in your store and of course, get it delivered on time before Halloween. So once again, let's take a look at this graph right here. Over $10 billion in Halloween sales just last year. And if you would have been here on this channel in 2020 and in 2019, when we started talking about the importance of Halloween, then you would have enjoyed the sales in those years and imagine what would have happened if you would have also prepared your store last year. So this is just showing you that with time, more and more people are spending more and more money for Halloween products before Halloween begins. That is why you are here in this video to learn about the best products to sell with our years and years of experience. Here are the top 15 products to sell. And of course, stay tuned because it is not going to start and end with this list. So we've got Halloween costumes, scary bat wall stickers, inflatable outdoor ghosts, spider webs and fake spiders, LED pumpkin string lights, trick or treat tote bags, Halloween yard scarecrows, hanging Halloween animatronics, animated Halloween skull bowls, foam graveyard tombstones, men and women's costume wigs, Halloween headbands, witch hats, Halloween backdrops, and orange and black garland. So let's dive a little bit deep into these products and learn about more products along the way. So regarding Halloween costumes, of course, we're not just going to keep it that general and say, Hey guys, just go sell Halloween costumes and, you know, they'll start selling because there are millions of them. You need to know what Halloween costumes to sell. You need to break it down and learn how to narrow down your product research to specifically find what people are looking for and not something so general. So in Halloween costumes, you need to think about what has been trending in the last year, what movies came out, what celebrities earned the spotlight, what movies did they play in. And let's see if we have their costumes. You don't want to sell things that were trending last year and two years ago and three years ago, when this year it is not a trending item anymore. And when it comes to Halloween costumes, this, of course, is very relevant. So let's think what we had this past year. I'm sure that some of you guys heard about Johnny Depp and his trials with Amber Heard. So Johnny Depp got the spotlight this year. And that is why many people who supported Johnny Depp and also people who haven't heard about him, but just heard about him because of the of his spotlight that he got this year because of everything that he had going on in court, people learned about him and other people who knew about him suddenly became big supporters of Johnny Depp. And with that support comes along watching the movies that he stars in. And one of his most iconic movies is Pirates of the Caribbean. Now there are many Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but the costume pretty much stays the same. You have that character Jack Sparrow and his Captain costume. Now to all you ladies watching this video, I have seen many females dress up as Jack Sparrow and that's actually pretty cool. But don't worry, we didn't leave you out. You can dress up as Jack Sparrow, but you can also dress up as a top gun pilot. And I'm sure that you can understand why this of course goes for both women and men, this item and the one before. But here, a lot of women are going to look for top gun pilot costumes. And that is simply because top gun Maverick came out this year. And now we've got a huge fan base and lots of people who want to dress up as pilots this year. Keep that in mind, top gun is going to trend a lot this Halloween season. Now as for children's costumes, pretty much every superhero that's relevant today like Superman, Spiderman, and so forth, they're all relevant. They all sell really well every Halloween. So of course, look to add children's costumes usually around the superhero type. Now what about those of you who have pets? Well, we didn't leave you out either. You can definitely dress up your pets for Halloween. Just make sure of course, that you are adding products, you're adding pet products where the material is suitable for pets. Not every seller thinks about this, but they are our pets. They're not really made to be dressed up. That's why they have the fur and all of that. But nonetheless, many people purchase pet costumes during Halloween. And this year, check out the wizard pet costumes. This one is going to trend pretty high, not only wizard costumes, but do focus on that on top of other items for pet costumes. That is just number one. So we have obviously more than one product that we recommended there, meaning this video is going to show you way more than 15 products and even more things that you're not even seeing in this article. Number two, scary bat wall stickers. This is a decor product and this simply makes your house loaded with bats. Why not? It's Halloween. Many people have haunted houses and many people will also put these bats outside their homes as an outdoor decoration. Outdoor bats, there are many different types of variations of them. And because it is not necessarily an expensive item, you should definitely add more than the quantity of one, because many buyers want to buy more than one. And if you limit only one per customer, many will pass on buying from you and will move on to someone else who can offer more than just one. So add more than one, you will not only increase your sales conversions, but you'll also be increasing your AOV, your average order value for every order, meaning more profit. Number three, inflatable outdoor ghosts. We went with ghosts because this is the most selling inflatable from our experience, from our databases, from our information, from our gears of dropshipping. But however, you do want to expand this even more. So if you're looking for an inflatable outdoor ghost, look for other inflatable Halloween products. You have inflatable spiders, inflatable witches on brooms, inflatable zombies, inflatable anything that you can think of that's spooky. So look for inflatables. This is a huge outdoor item that many people add to their shopping lists. And there's no reason for you not to enjoy the profits from inflatables, which have a medium to high ticket range, meaning you're going to make a lot of money, a lot of profits selling each one, because they are not cheap items to sell. So add inflatables in your Halloween stores. Number four, spider webs and fake spiders. This is similar to those bats. It's a decor item. And many people have it inside their houses and also outside inside for haunted houses and outside for people who are walking by to kind of spook out the little kids who want to ask you for some trick or treat candy. So spider webs, fake spiders are selling a lot during the Halloween season. Remember, add more than a quantity of one because people will buy more than one. Number five on our list, LED pumpkin string lights. This is a great product to have. It's great for parties. It's great for decoration. Some of them are solar. Some of them need to connect to a wall outlet. So make sure that you're offering a variation of LED string lights and LED pumpkin string lights for Halloween. Number six, trick or treat tote bags. Goes without saying that's what it is. People don't just want to walk around with a regular bag. Try out these trick or treat tote bags, sell them on your stores and you will see that people will avoid using regular bags and move on to Halloween themed style bags for their trick or treating purposes or for their kids trick or treating purposes. Number seven, Halloween yard scarecrow. Another outdoor decor product. Many people are buying this. Of course it is to kind of spook out the people who are walking by, but hey, it also does the job of a scarecrow. So why not? Two birds in one, no pun intended to the birds. This Halloween scarecrow is going to sell a lot. Hanging Halloween animatronics is number eight on our list. Now this is a very cool item, but hey, the more expensive the more we're going to profit per sell. So these are usually these big dolls that have their eyes lighting up or their crystal ball or whatever it is. And it's simply a large doll to scare people. Search for hanging Halloween animatronics and you will see what I mean. Now remember, you can sell these products using multiple drop shipping suppliers, which is something that you should do. This way you'll have a reach to more and more products. Let me show you a neat little tool that will help you import products very quickly to your drop shipping stores before I continue on to the rest of the Halloween products and even add in more bonus information. So let's for example go for these hanging Halloween animatronics. Let's say you want to add them to your store. So you're going to choose a drop shipping supplier. For those of you who don't know which drop shipping supplier you should work with yet, head over to autoDS.com slash suppliers or just autoDS.com and hover and click on suppliers. Here you have a list of about 25 drop shipping suppliers that you can start using today. Import their tens of millions of products that they have to sell to your drop shipping store and sell them. Now of course your profit is going to be the difference between the source price that you're getting from your suppliers and the selling price that you're selling on your stores. Now in terms of profit percentage you should all work with above the 20% profit percentage range even if you're just getting started. Me personally no less than 50% not including source taxes which comes out to about 40% profit in the end sometimes a little less sometimes a little more but that should be your profit range and even more if you can. Don't go for a small small profit range but that is not what we're here to talk about. You can grab Halloween products from all of these suppliers. Now granted some of these suppliers are retail drop shipping suppliers and others are wholesale drop shipping suppliers. The difference between them is that not all retail drop shipping suppliers fully support the drop shipping business model. Now does that mean that we cannot drop ship from them? Definitely no. You can there are ways to do everything but sometimes you may have issues like having locked by your accounts and knowing what to do from there. That is why you have other solutions like automatic orders where you don't have to use your buyer accounts. You can use the Fulfilled by AutoDS service for those of you working with US suppliers in the US decurrency but again guys that's not what we're here to talk about. I keep going on and on. You have 25 suppliers with millions and millions of products that you can sell especially Halloween products since that is what we're talking about now. It doesn't matter if you use Amazon a retail supplier that thousands of drop shippers are using or if you use a wholesale supplier like CJ drop shipping who 100% completely supports the drop shipping business model and they won't cause any problems at any time. So it really depends if you're a beginner, if you're an intermediate, if you're advanced, if you have experience, if you don't have experience that is why we drop all of the knowledge on our YouTube channel that's why I asked you to subscribe and of course our blog page at autoDS.com slash blog and you also have free and paid drop shipping courses if you hover over resources and click on drop shipping courses. Now back to the matter at hand. Let's go to one of these suppliers. I'm going to go with Amazon for this example and look for hanging Halloween animatronics. Now check out all of these results. These are kind of scary. Now they can be indoor, they can be outdoor, oh my God, check out this one. So what you want to do here is add these products to your store, right? Now what happens if you just want to add one product like this product and what happens if you want to add all of these products that you're seeing all you want to add all them to your stores, test it out, see what's selling, remove the slow movers and keep adding more products similar to those that are selling. That is the best strategy to move forward with especially when it comes to product research. Let me show you how to do this really quickly and then get back to the products list. Okay, so let's say you want to add this product to your store really quick and you only want this one item. So you're simply going to copy the URL, head over to the AutoDS platform, click on add products and you're going to go with single product and paste that URL right here. Make sure that the supplier source in the region is correct and click on edit now quick. And in just a few seconds, the system will grab and it just happened while I said that the system will grab all of the information from the supplier's website and add it to the drafts page of your AutoDS store. So here's that item, it really took less than two seconds on the clock. And right here, you can optimize the product's title, the collections, the tags, many things here you can see is automated. I didn't add all of this, it was all automated from the system and your monitoring. So price monitoring, stock monitoring, automatic orders, item location, you can completely optimize the product description, add images, add more text, choose whatever template you want. And by the way, for those of you who don't know, on AutoDS, you also have Halloween templates. So you have free templates on the system. And if you want to see how to use them, you can also see it from the product description, you can see the selected templates. So here in the description, you can select your template. And if you go to the settings menu on AutoDS and click on templates, you can see all of the templates that you have for free. And one of those templates is a Halloween cell template. Let's take a look, I'm going to click on preview. And once you import a product, this is just a demo product, you scroll down, you're going to get this Halloween cell banner, no tricks, just treats, shop now, check out the hover effects, check out the trust badges. Here you'll have your optimized product title, the product description, and everything else that goes along with it. And if you scroll down below the description, you'll also see the about us shipping returns, customer satisfaction, and so forth. So these are templates that you're getting absolutely for free. So you can use them on your selling channels, no matter where you're drop shipping eBay Shopify, you can use those templates and simply make your store look good. So make your store look ready for Halloween. And if you don't want to use the one that you're getting absolutely for free from AutoDS, you can of course go to places like Fiverr or Upwork and get someone to create a template for you, they can charge $5, 10, $15 and create a unique template for your Halloween store. Now let's get back to the product optimization. So we talked about the product's title, we talked about the description, you also have the variations. So here you can add even more product variations. So for example, you can add this variation. And this way you'll have two different product variations in one product listing, meaning no other drop shipper will have that same product page and that will make you stand out from the competition even more. So I can simply copy the URL, click on add variants and add his URL or his product ID right here. And you have the product's images. So here you have all of the images that we have from your supplier, all downloaded and uploaded into your store without you having to raise a finger, you also have an advanced image editor. So if I click on edit, as you see right here, we have an editor where we can crop, flip, rotate, draw, add text and do many more things. So you have an advanced image editor, which will definitely help you create images, which are unique. And only you will have them. Okay. And that is just a small example. You also have the item specifications. So some of it is automated, you can add more, you can edit. And that is how easy it is to import a product to your store, optimize it, make it look good, make it look unique and start selling. When you are done with the optimization process, you click on save and import. And then what happens is it moves from the draft section to the product section of your store. And once it's in the product section, you'll know that it's live in your store and anyone can go in now and purchase that product. So that's how easy and how quick it is to do them one by one. But what happens when you want to add multiple products? One way to do it is to open them all in a new tab, and then on the AutoDS platform, click on add products and then click on multiple products and add each URL copy and paste it into this box and create a line break between each item, copy, paste and continue this process, then click on add as a draft. It's going to add all those products to your drafts page. But what if you want a quicker way? Here's how that's done. So you realized that hanging Halloween animatronics are selling like crazy on your store. Now you want to add as many of them as possible and grab all of the sales that you possibly can. So what you're going to do here is download and install the free AutoDS helper extension. So just type AutoDS helper on Google and go to the first search result and add this free extension. Once you download and install the extension, search for something on your supplier's website and click on the AutoDS helper extension, then click on extract. Now all of the 54 products that we have on this page, all of the hanging Halloween animatronics have been added into this little extension. Now I'm going to click on export as CSV and as you can see a CSV file was downloaded onto my computer. Now back to the AutoDS system, I'm going to click on add products and again on multiple products, only here instead of adding them into this text box, I'm going to click on upload CSV and here I can drag and drop that CSV file or double click on it to open up the browser window, double click on that Amazon export CSV, processing CSV and file is uploaded. Now I'm going to click on add as a draft and all of those 53 products will be added to my drafts page for optimization or to publish directly to my store and optimize later if that's what I want to do. And that is how easy it is to add 50, 100, a thousand or 10,000 products to your store in just a few clicks. Now with the amount of time that you're going to save importing these products to your store and automating the prices and automating the stock with your suppliers and automatic orders, your whole dropshipping business or almost all of your dropshipping business is going to be completely optimized. Now is the time for you to learn how to grow and scale your business, open up more stores, try out new selling channels, try marketing to different regions around the world and of course, research more and more products. The more product research you will do, the more you will test the market, the more the results will follow. Number 11 is men's and women's costume wigs. So we talked about costumes, but of course, let's not forget wigs, another huge seller every Halloween season. Number 12, Halloween headbands. A little bit different from wigs, but it goes on top of your head. It's a head accessory and headbands are great sellers just like wigs every Halloween. So don't miss out on headbands and number 13 on our list are witch hats. Witch hats have been relevant since as long as far back as I can remember. So many people like to dress up as witches, but some simply prefer the witch hat and there are many different types of witch hat. It's not just one black hat that looks like this. Maybe my video editor will add a fake hat on top of my head right now while I'm speaking. Maybe not, I don't know, but there is more than one type of witch hats. There are different colors, there are different forms and some of them can even light up like this thumbnail that we see right here. Number 14, Halloween backdrops. These are huge Halloween themed images that you can simply stick to your wall, add to your wall, inside your house, even outside your house and simply get into the Halloween vibe. This is great once again for people who are hosting haunted houses or simply want to add it outside their house and kind of scare off those trick or treaters. Not really scare off, but also let's say get them in the Halloween vibe to kind of show off how creative you are for Halloween. So add Halloween backdrops to your store. It is a medium ticket price, meaning you're going to make some nice profit selling Halloween backdrops, another great seller every Halloween season. Number 15, orange and black garlands. And that is what you're looking at right here. So it's these balloon decorations that have to do of course with the orange and black colors. Those are the Halloween colors. And when you have this decoration once again, it adds on to your party favors, it adds on to your haunted house, and it adds on to outside your house when the trick or treaters pass by and they check out this orange and black garland thinking here's another creative house to walk by during Halloween. Now sometimes it seems like I'm trying to sell you these products, but you need to understand these are the most trending products for Halloween. Now of course there are more trending products and you can dive into it more and more, but the strategy that you need to take right now is to take these product ideas, go to the drop shipping suppliers, especially the ones that we supported out of Dia so that you can enjoy all of the automation options that come with it and see what starts to sell. Start with these product ideas and add at least 20 to 30 products from every product idea so that you can really test out that category and that niche more. So you don't only want to add one or five orange and black garlands because if they don't sell, you'll think that this niche is simply not selling but you actually missed out on the ones that people do want to buy. Same thing for Halloween backdrops, same thing for witch hats, and same thing for every other product that we talked about in this video. I really hope that this video helped you understand how to prepare your Halloween stores with the right products start selling and when you do start selling, multiply your profits by adding more products that are similar to those and don't forget to tag your products. When you tag your products, you will be able to easily analyze the Halloween season and see how that went for you. So when you are optimizing your product, you want to add the product tag and besides the ones that were automatically added for you, you want to create a new tag called Halloween and tag all of your products with the Halloween tag. Then after when Halloween is over, you will open up the product section of your store and you will filter by the Halloween tag and see what products performed well that have the Halloween tag on them. This way you will learn what products are selling and when the next year's Halloween comes, you'll be much, much better prepared. That is how we do it and that is the right way to do it. So once again, I hope that this video helped you find and understand what are the best products to sell for Halloween, how to prepare your stores for Halloween and how to really be able to analyze Halloween once it's over to be able to better optimize next year and the year that comes after that and the year that comes after that. It's the compounding effects that makes dropshipping so powerful. So don't miss out on this Halloween season. Take advantage of it. We're expecting to see the most amount of sales that we've ever seen before in the past. Thank you for watching. Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel.
