(1) Picnic Blanket Costs
As we all know, cost affects profits. In order to make more profits, it is necessary to control the cost of the product.
As shown in the picture, our search for the picnic blanket on the 1688 website revealed that most of the picnic blankets were in the low price range of $1 to $6. Besides, picnic blanket is small in size, lightweight easy to pack. As you can expect, the cost of packaging and transportation is also low. Overall, the procurement costs of picnic blankets are low.
(2)Wholesale Picnic Blanket Profits
Since we have a rough idea of the cost of the product, we can now estimate the profit margin of the product.
We randomly selected a $3.15 picnic blanket from Alibaba. The same product on Amazon was selling for $26.99. We then did a simple math of subtracting the cost of the product from the selling price as shown below.
26.99-3.15=23.84 dollars in profit
We then used the Unicorn smasherg tool to see the average monthly sales of this product which we found to be about 1668. So basically this gives us monthly returns of 1668*23.84=39765.12 dollars.
Therefore, profit is quite good even after you deduct the transportation and packaging cost.

Stable sales price means you have a stable sales market environment. Let’s take the above product as an example to see whether the picnic blanket has a stable marketing environment.
