 Hey dropshippers and welcome back to our YouTube channel. I'm Lara and in today's video we're going to talk about dropshipping sunglasses and the top sunglasses products and supplies to work with. So if you've been thinking about dropshipping sunglasses then I have great news. This video is for you. So let's dive straight into that intro, subscribe to our YouTube channel and let's go. So before we proceed on to anything else, let's first cover the topic is dropshipping sunglasses profitable. So for one, sunglasses are mainly used to make a fashion statement nowadays. Therefore, the sunglasses industry is worth billions. Two, there are tons of sunglasses styles available on the market, which means that this niche is full of products to profit from. And just to show you how much you are able to profit from selling sunglasses, according to Statista, there will be 120 million sunglasses sold in 2023 in the US alone. Considering that sunglasses are often thought to be a seasonal product, that's pretty impressive. Three, sunglasses on evergreen products. And if you didn't know, evergreen products are products that sell here around, which makes these sunglasses extremely worth capitalizing on. And fourth, sunglasses are used by just about anyone, men and women, children of all ages and even pets. Now that we know what the potential gain is of selling sunglasses in your stores, let's now discuss the six best dropshipping supplies for sunglasses. First up, we have Amazon. As the e-commerce giant of the world, Amazon offers a wide selection of products, fast shipping and reliable customer service. So let's have a look at their pricing, shipping times, warehouses and customer support. So first up pricing with about 2 million active Amazon sellers and 200 million visitors via the platform per month, you could say the pricing is competitive. Next up is shipping time. And with over 100 fulfillment centers in the US, you can offer fast and efficient shipping to American buyers. You can also quickly find thousands of products that offer between one to two day delivery thanks to Amazon Prime's shipping or between three to five days shipping with regular delivery. So when it comes to Amazon's warehouses, they have over 175 fulfillment centers worldwide. And when it comes to their customer service, all I can say is that American suppliers are known for their excellent customer support. Next up is another big name in the game, AliExpress. When it comes to dropshipping, this Chinese supplier is extremely dropshipping friendly. They have great competitive prices, a massive catalog of products and most importantly, dropshipping perks. So when it comes to AliExpress's pricing, we know that they offer the most competitive prices. This in turn allows you to stay competitive and increase your profit margins. So when it comes to AliExpress's shipping, they offer both free and paid shipping and the shipping comes with or without tracking. Shipping times as well as shipping pricing will usually depend on what method you choose. AliExpress also offers deliveries with couriers such as DHL, EMS and FedEx. When it comes to warehouses, AliExpress has local warehouses, which means that you can offer your customers fast shipping. And when it comes to customer service, it's good to know that AliExpress does a great job of providing a safe purchasing environment. Third on our list is another top Chinese supplier, CJ Dropshipping. CJ Dropshipping has almost any product you can think of. They offer competitive pricing and they are exceptionally dropshipping friendly. So when it comes to CJ's dropshipping pricing, because they are another Chinese supplier, we can definitely expect lower prices than Amazon or any other American supplier. As for their shipping, for most of their products, we recommend using the CJ Package Shipping method. Their standard delivery time is usually between 7 to 12 working days. And when it comes to CJ Dropshipping's warehouses, because they are super supportive of dropshipping, they have US warehouse performance centers, which means that dropshippers can offer faster delivery times to their customers. Because of the US-based warehouses, you can expect same-day processing and shipping will take between 2 to 5 days via USBS. Also, this is really good to note, but if your buyer purchases multiple products via different orders, CJ Dropshipping will ship and deliver all their products together within one package. That's pretty awesome. Fourth on our list is Target and listen up because we have a few things to mention about this supplier. Firstly, if you decide to dropship using Target as a dropshipping supplier, we recommend you to get familiar with a RAID card program. RAID card holders from this program receive free 2-day shipping without any minimum purchase. And by joining this RAID card program, you also receive an additional 5% discount at checkout on majority of Target's products. When it comes to Target's pricing, they're not the cheapest in the market, but they make up for it by continuously offering great deals on products for dropshippers. Target offers free 2-day shipping on orders above $35, and if you receive many Target dropshipping orders, consider becoming a member to enjoy even more upgraded shipping options. By joining this membership, you'll have access to same-day delivery free for 4 weeks and after that, you'll then have to pay an annual fee of $99. When it comes to Target's return policy, they are extremely convenient. If a customer would like to return a product, Target will accept and provide them with a full refund for up to 90 days. Our first sunglasses dropshipping supplier is the American e-commerce site Itsy. Itsy is an online selling platform with a focus on handmade, vintage and crafted products. So when it comes to Itsy's prices, they are generally higher than generic suppliers and that's mainly because the items that are sold on this platform are either vintage, handmade or crafted. But this should not discourage you from dropshipping on Itsy, though. If anything, you can find some real golden nugs and stand out amongst your competition. Also, since majority of the items that are sold on Itsy aren't mass produced, shipping times vary and can sometimes take longer than the average of 2-5 days. Each seller determines its own shipping policy, so make sure to check out each product's shipping time to avoid any unwanted problems down the line. However, on the plus side, many sellers offer free shipping. When it comes to Itsy's returns policy, just like their shipping policy, the returns policy is set by the sellers and not by the platform itself. Some sellers don't accept returns or only on a few items. And as dropshippers, we know that returns are likely to occur, so it's rather best to select products from sellers who accept returns. However, if you do utilize Itsy for your dropshipping business, you can dropship products from sellers worldwide. And last but not least, we have a popular wholesale supplier, Miami Sunglasses. Miami Sunglasses is a great choice for dropshippers looking to order in large quantities. So when it comes to placing an order with Miami Sunglasses, you have to have a minimum order quantity of 12 sunglasses per order, which is 12 sunglasses per box. With that being said, prices are usually between $26 to $32 per box. So if a box is roughly $26, you're roughly paying $2 for a pair of sunnies. So when it comes to Miami Sunglasses shipping, they offer both domestic and international shipping. When it comes to the domestic shipping, it takes between one to two business days to process the order and then another two to five business days to deliver the order. As for the international shipping, that is supported by UPS worldwide. Also, besides Miami Sunglasses' 30-day return policy, they also offer price match guarantee policy, which means if you find a better deal on the same product elsewhere, Miami Sunglasses promises to match or beat that offer. Now that we know about the top six supplies to source quality sunnies from, let's now take a look at the most profitable and in-demand sunglasses styles to list in your dropshipping stores. First up, aviator sunglasses. So this hot, reflective and lightweight sunglasses style has been around since the 1950s. Their popularity actually spiked in the 70s and 80s when famous figures like Freddie Mercury and Robert De Niro wore them. And they've actually stayed trendy ever since. When you're dropshipping this product, make sure to offer variations of colors. The next best sunglasses style is the infamous Cat Eyes shape. These sunnies are associated with the beehive hairdo of the 1950s and 60s. They were also made popular by figures such as Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. So it's no surprise that these Cat Eyes sunnies are still modern fashion statements. When selling these Cat Eyes sunglasses, remember to offer color and style variations. Third on our list, we have these round sunglasses. So these bold frame sunglasses arose in the 1920s and fast forward to the 2000s. These round sunnies are still selling like hotcakes. These sunnies are also available in a variety of styles and colors that you can source from many suppliers. Next we have the butterfly sunglasses. This is another trendy eyewear that fits almost about any outfits. These sunglasses are fashionable, durable and they must have when being outdoors. Aside from their stylish designs, butterfly sunglasses guarantees protection from UV rays. Next up we have the Wayfarer sunglasses. These sunnies were often worn by mysterious men driving Cadillacs in the 1950s. Today we can find these sunnies with modern variations which includes tilt angles, UV protection and even two-tone looks that suit both masculine and feminine looks. Our sixth trending eyewear is the Brow Line sunglasses which is unfortunately something I do not have. These sunglasses have a thicker upper portion of the frame and the structure defines the wearer's natural brow line. Seventh on our list are these funky oval sunglasses. These sunglasses were greatly popularized by fashion icons such as Kurt Cobain and just in general these sunnies are trendy, stylish and functional. Next up we have these wrap around sunglasses. This excellent eye accessory minimizes the entry of particles and sun rays. They're also available in chick styles and colors and you'll never go wrong with this eyepiece especially if you're doing an outdoor activity. Ninth on our list are Flipper Shade sunglasses which is again something I don't have. The cool thing about the Flipper Shade sunnies is that users can change the color lens when preferred. And lastly we have the Retro Rectangle sunglasses aka the Retro Show Stoppers. Okay dropshippers, now you know all about the top sunglasses to list as well as the top supplies to source these sunnies from. Now let's briefly go over how you're able to start your own sunglasses dropshipping business. Step one is to create an online store. Choose a selling platform where you'd like to dropship these products. Our AutoDS software supports four profitable selling channels which includes eBay, Shopify, Facebook Marketplace and Wix. Keep in mind that eBay and Facebook Marketplace are platforms that generate organic traffic whereas Shopify and Wix does not generate organic traffic. Therefore you need to take into account paid advertising. Step two would be to select a sunglasses supplier and there are many suppliers in the market so you have some key factors to take into consideration when you're trying to choose your supplier. One, read reviews, always check customer reviews and see what people are saying about the supplies, products and service. Two, review policies. Since you're dropshipping you need to make sure that your business policies lines up with those of your suppliers. You'll need to understand how they handle broken products, missing packages, returns and much more. And three, understand the fees. Before you start listing products in your store you want to make sure that you understand anything that can impact your profit margins. Step three is to import these products to your store. Once you've chosen your selling channel and a supplier to work with it's then time to start loading these sunglasses to your store and you can do this by utilizing two importing methods. So we have the manual product importing method which we all know takes up all of our time and efforts because we're literally copying and pasting each product's details to our listing. And then we have the automatic importing method which is a product importer tool that instantly grabs all product details and lists them to your store in just a few clicks. This saves us hours of our time and efforts. And if you didn't know our AutoDS automatic importing tool allows you to import multiple products at once instead of importing each item one by one. And step four would be to scale your business. After importing your products the orders will start flowing through and this is the perfect time to put dropshipping automation tools to work to manage and grow your business. Here are two tools in particular that are crucial to your business's success. We have the price and stock monitoring tool and as dropshippers we sell products from our suppliers and we don't hold that stock ourselves. We must monitor price and stock changes that occur on the supplier's sites. And two, the auto automation tool. This tool helps you to abolish time and effort of manually fulfilling your dropshipping orders. The auto automation system manages all of your store's orders as soon as they start coming in. So as a result, you do not have to worry about anything because buyers orders are automatically getting taken care of even while you're sleeping. Remember that you can check out all of our automation tools via our websites and I'll leave a few links in the pinned comments in the comments section down below. And that's a wrap dropshippers.
