On 23 March 2023 in Shenzhen, China, the sun beat down as our team walked across the sprawling convention center floor, eagerly searching for the next undiscovered treasure. The pet product trade fair was a sea of booths, each salesperson touting their latest offerings. Our eyes scanned left and right, not wanting to overlook even the smallest stand.
Then we spotted it – a gleaming pet nail trimmer tucked in the back corner. Its sleek green casing housed a tiny LED light to illuminate each paw and a removable tray to catch stray clippings. Running our fingers over the smooth surface, we knew we had stumbled upon something special. This was a product not yet gracing the digital aisles of Amazon.
With great enthusiasm, we immediately WhatsApped this clever tool to our pet retailer clients. Vividly describing the nail trimmer’s bright beam and nail catching tray with photos and videos, we were certain they would share our excitement.
However, lukewarm responses trickled in, each declining the undiscovered product. Their skeptical words felt like stones dropping into the pit of our stomachs. Some voiced concerns about overly complex features while others required supporting sales data.
Dejected, we questioned where we had gone wrong. But determination sparked within us once again when we learned in May 2023 that another seller had posted the trimmer on Amazon, moving at about 10 units per day. Not a blockbuster, but a glimmer of potential.
While the nail trimmer itself may not have been a showstopping success, the experience underscored the promise of our Amazon Product Scout service. By diving into the trenches at trade shows and factories, our team deliver you a competitive edge with early access to unlisted Amazon products and help you capture the market before competitors flock in.
