Sparkle Fashion And Glitter Trend: Make Them Work For Your Dropshipping Store

Can your eCommerce business benefit from the glitter trend and the rising sparkle fashion? Why not!

Shiny sequins, glitter powder and sparkly rhinestones steal the show on major fashion events around the globe. They seem to be used everywhere, from makeup products to elaborate outfits. Not surprisingly, the public demand for them is rising faster than ever.

Still, as you can easily see it, glitter (as much as any other sparkling material or substance) is a seasonal product.

During some specific periods of the year, the demand for these types of items skyrockets; at all other times, the demand is stable – but not excessively high.

So, it might be a bit risky to create a dropshipping store that is exclusively dedicated to sparkly and shiny products. First of all, trends don’t live for too long – and besides, even now, when this sparkle fashion is on the rise, it might not bring you the same amount of profit throughout the whole year.

Instead, it would be a good idea to spice up your existing product offer with some trendy items. If/when shiny stuff goes out of fashion, you can easily remove these products from your store and keep going with no damage to your profits and business image. Let’s see what you can do!

How to benefit from the glitter trend with a makeup & nail art store

Well, the solution here is obvious.

If your dropshipping store is dedicated to makeup tools and nail art supplies, you can easily top up your product offer with some sparkly items like the ones below.

Please note: check the product rating, the supplier’s profile and the AliExpress buyers’ reviews before importing every specific item from this category. See whether the users report any allergy outbursts or other skin/nails issues, and make sure that you can explain the product’s chemical composition to your own clients if necessary.

Can the sparkle fashion find the way to an accessories-oriented store?

Absolutely.

Lots of lifestyle accessories on AliExpress are decorated with glitter, so you are free to choose whatever you fancy. Thanks to their cuteness, these lovely items are quite likely to trigger impulse purchases, which makes them a valuable addition to your store.

I am getting closer to ordering a custom made store from you. I don’t have a clear understanding of how I proceed to advertise on Facebook once the store is up and running. McCullough you explain this process please?
Cheers,
