Hottest Dropshipping Trends for 2019 According to Shopify

With hands-free technologies on the rise and smartphones becoming more and more ‘glued’ to our hands, it’s kind of logical to think that wireless accessories will become the next big thing.

Why not start selling wireless phone chargers? People are getting really frustrated with standard charging devices, which all come with wire and require power receptacle, which isn’t always within arm’s reach. As with any accessory, there’s a possibility of picking all kinds, suited for different age and gender groups, as well as bundling them with earphones or smartphone cases.

Pet products are always a good bet since people just can’t resist buying for their pooches and maine coons anything that would be good for them (from the owner point of view, anyway).

However, every owner of a pet, be it a canine gentleman or a feline lady, at some point grows frustrated to the point of tearing his hair out with one thing. Yes, hair, or be more precise, the shedding of it, which in some cases (think Persian kitties) can become a huge problem.

Besides providing a neat and compact grooming solution, these gloves come with silicon pointed edges on one side, and rubber-like mesh on the other side, allowing buyers to give their companions a soothing massage. Some think that this will be popular not just among cat and dog owners and horse lovers would also embrace this chance to bond with their charges. And there’re the zoos, where all kind of creature shed their hair and love the attention. And it would look awesome on the ad of cat boarding kennel or a dog lover club. And… Well, you got the idea.

Can you imagine some point in the future when Instagram would become deserted? Yes, if another resource offering a chance to showcase a lot of self-made photos would come around. Perhaps one with stricter requirements regarding the quality of the pics. One thing is a definite ‘yes’, however, and that’s our love for social media, photographing ourselves everywhere and posting the footage there.

While it’s impossible to beat a professionally done and processed image, phone lenses can certainly improve the quality of your photo album content. Take into the account the low cost (comparing with all those fancy reflex cameras) and ease of use, and you’ve got a ready-made irresistible temptation for your shoppers. Especially if you accompany your campaign with photos made by the same phone with and without the lenses. ‘Before and after’ approach is always yielding great results. Just imagine putting all that double magnification of captured snaps to good use on your next promo campaign.

4. Child wrist leash

Despite a rather controversial concept, this contraption (which actually looks all kinds of cute) is not intended for leashing up children at home or in the backyard. So, if use this item, keep in mind that many folks right after reading the name would start thinking about a dog. That can be easily remedied with a different name and a little explanatory feature, containing a description of where and how it should be used.

Public and busy places, such as shopping malls, where kids can get lost easily, are the locations, where those could come in handy. Besides giving your child the chance of learning the importance of safety in a fun and playful way, it would also be a useful thing for grandparents who can’t always keep up with hyperactive toddlers. Another use would be connecting twins and letting them learn that respect for one another is sometimes necessary and some things can be done only together.

They will have a high selling potential during the holiday season since statistics recently took notice of its growing popularity among young parents.

Since almost none of us can’t imagine a life without the phone nearby, we are often tempted to use them while driving. However, this way lie car crashes, costly fines, even more, expensive hospital bills, potential problems with the police and, the highest cost of them all, the danger of lives lost. All that prevents us from using a phone on the road, which sometimes is translated into lost business opportunities, frustrated friends who need to wait for you to arrive someplace where you can finally talk, and on the whole the situation can hardly be called pleasant.

With the invention of the magnetic air vent phone holder, many of the dangers related to using the cell phone and driving can now be eliminated. How so? Let’s look at the benefits, that such accessory provides for a driver:

• prevents distractions while driving. Now you can place your phone right in front of you on a special holder. No more fumbling in your pockets or looking around;
• improved hearing. Thanks to a holder you can now place your phone near you, eliminating both the need to balance your phone between the shoulder and ear and the chance of phone falling;
• enables GPS and charger capabilities. Self-explanatory;
• easier to view messages. Now you can read that important e-mail from your mum or a colleague at work without taking your eyes off the road.

Without a doubt, a good investment and a great idea for dropshipping.

10. Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer

Since infrared thermometers can determine the temperature of a target object without close physical contact, it means that they won’t contaminate or damage, or even interfere with any process that the monitored object is involved at the moment…

Why so official, since the first thing comes to mind is a smiling face of the kiddo, who now does not have to deal with that scary and obnoxious thermometer? Because many analog devices are used at production plants and all kinds of technicians and engineers in a wide range of industries are all in favor of those, finding them to be more accurate and invaluable when the object is inaccessible or moving.

However, your better bet would be with mums and dads, who would leap at the chance not to deal with the cranky kid and just measure his temperature without him being aware of the fact. There’s another significant advantage, which is the very fast response time, and we’re serious about the ‘very fast’ part because here we’re speaking about a few thousandths of a second.
