2. Which areas have high market potential?
According to Google Search Trends with results based on area searching hot spot above, we can see that America, Britain, and Australia rank in top three. America obtains the highest searching popularity, which means a dog collar has the biggest market in the US. The US is then followed by Britain and Australia.

The results show America hitting a Google search volume of up to 74, 000 per month with Amazon almost getting up to 4 million each month. However, the dog collar CPC is only $1.7. This shows that the dog collar has a huge market and competitive environment which is not intense.
Based on products
Above is an example of a dog collar by random searching. We searched and found it in Alibaba with a purchase price of $1.5. However, the same collar sells at $8.99 in Amazon（Blueberry Pet). This gives you a price difference of 8.99-1.5=7.49 dollars. This shows dog collar has a handsome profit.
Using unicorn smasher to search, we found that the sales quantity of this shop is about 1207 units each month. This amounts to $10797 in sales per month. Work out the profit margins and you get awesome 7.49 x 1201 = 8995.49 dollars each month. The profit of this shop is about $9000 each month. It’s a handsome profit. But is that the whole truth? NO.
This is because we have ignored other costs such as packaging cost, transportation cost, tariff, and so on. Once we increase these costs, you will find your profit is reducing. So, before you purchase products, it is really important to figure out your cost and profit.
We enter into this shop again and use the keepa searching. Results show that over the past four years, this shop has little fluctuation range in prices. The lowest price is $7.99 and the highest price is $8.99. From 2005 January, the sales rank fluctuated steadily. In July, it reached at the top of the sales rank.
