1.Industrial profile

A whiskey stone is a high – class household wine utensil. It is a quality product made of soap stone, talc, obsidian, granite, marble and other pure natural and pollution-free ingredients. It is a safe product that can be used without reacting with alcohol and beverages. For a long time, people have been using ice stones. However, as the ice melts, it dilutes the taste of the wine. This has led to a shift to whiskey stones which are quite popular. The stones are an ideal choice for the people who like drinking wine.

2.Market

(1)Market demand

First of all, we need to know the market demand of this product before we can accurately judge the market supply.

According to data from Google trends (trends.google.com) for the past five years, the search popularity of whiskey stones in the United States is high in December where it hits a peak of 100. In other months, the search popularity is lower with an overall downward trend. The global trend of whiskey stones search has been similar to that of the United States in the past five years. The peak of the search popularity is in December where we have a maximum value of 100. However, the search popularity declines year after year.

Besides Google, we also searched whiskey stones data in the US from Amazon (www.amazon.com). As seen from the figure above, whiskey stones were most searched in December 2017 with an average of about 1.78 million searches.

We can confidently conclude that the peak demand of whiskey stones is high in month of December with demand in other months relatively small. In general, the market demand of whiskey stones is small and volatile.

(2)Market distribution

With the knowledge that the market demand of whiskey stones is small, it is imperative to fully understand its market distribution so as to sell them in a precise market and gain large profits.

Therefore, we can see the whiskey stones market is high in the countries that like to taste wine. These countries include New Zealand, Ireland, Britain and the United States.

(3)Competitive environment

Having a healthy competitive environment is very important to the sales of any product. Even with a thorough understanding of the product market distribution, we still need to investigate the market competition environment of these products.

(The graph of search volume of whiskey stones in the past 12 months of the worldwide from Google Adwords)

As shown in the figure above, data from Google Adwords (adwords.google.com) shows that the global average search volume of whiskey stones is about 27,000 per month, which is relatively small. That means fewer customers are buying whiskey stones from independent websites.

On the other hand, the average search on Amazon is 440,000 a month. The CPC is about 0.75 dollars per click with a competitive value of 1(According to the Keywords tool table, products with a competitive value of 0.69-1 are highly competitive.) There is fierce competition in amazon for whiskey stones. Since most people buy Whiskey stone products from amazon, the competition of the stones is relatively high.

3.Product

(1)Product profit

The purpose of any business person is to make profit; therefore, a product must have a considerable profit to be sold.

To investigate the profit range of whiskey stones, we randomly selected a set of whiskey stones with a purchase price of $2.16 and a sale price of $8.95 to estimate its profit.

%24%28%29LSYG85%5DEBQ O20%25M%24%5BNW
03%25~IY4JFD2CI0DAP%60FMC%259

First, we calculate its profit simply subtracting $8.95-2.16= $6.79. According to the unicorn smasherg tool, this set of whiskey stones sells for about 1714 a month. So the gross profit is about 1714*6.79= $11638.06.

We can conclude that the profit of whiskey stones is quite considerable.

(2)Cost

The cost of a product does not include the price only but also other costs such as packaging, advertising, transportation and insurance. Once these costs are deducted, then the net profit of the product will be lower than the gross profit we just calculated above.

However, sets of whiskey stones are quite small in size and require simple packaging. The packaging and transportation costs involved are quite small. Overall, costs are relatively low.

(3) Price Volatility

The selling price of products largely determines the profit of products and affects the sales of products. Therefore, the price fluctuation of products is also an indispensable part of our product analysis.

H%5B%5BNT6V%7BIO%60%286%7BSZ%606SP%288M

We used the keepa tool to check the historical sales price of this set of whiskey stones. The result shows that the price of this product fluctuated around $8.95 over the past year. Overall volatility of the product is quite less.

Therefore, it can be seen that the sales profit of whiskey stones is relatively stable.
