Easter Decorations

Many Americans buy decorations to celebrate this spring holiday. On average, about $20.71 is spent on holiday decorations. 

These decorations can be religious in nature or can be festive spring and bunny themed. It might be a good idea to offer both in your online marketplace to appeal to both audiences. Or if you want to select a specific niche, you can choose to stock religious or non-religious decorations in your dropshipping store.

Egg & rabbit shaped stickers and window decorations, plush bunnies, and plastic Easter eggs are all great decorations to sell. Easter baskets might be worth carrying in your store as well. Think of items that both kids and adults would enjoy.

If you decide to stock religious decorations, Christian imagery containing crosses or new testament biblical scriptures are good themes. You can decide to stock religious and non-religious decorations or if you want to be a niche dropshipper, choose one.

Dollar Days, RAZ Imports Inc, and Burton & Burton are all great wholesalers whose products you can stock in your online store.

Decorations are quick and easy products you can stock in your online store this season. They can be a nice addition to other products, or you can choose to sell only decorations.

Festive Chocolates & Other Candies

Chocolate and candy go hand-in-hand with Easter. Selling chocolate and other candies can be a good way for you to make some extra cash in the spring.

Chocolate bunnies and chocolate Easter eggs are always good items to sell online. You can also sell rock candy, lollipops, and other non-chocolate candies to add some diversity to your product line.

Do some research to find sweets that taste good and allow for a decent profit margin. Check the reviews to see what other customers think of the taste, or, buy some to try before you sell them.

If you have the time, you can assemble your own Easter candy gift arrangements. These gift baskets can contain an assortment of chocolates and candies.

This would be a good idea to market to parents as they will likely be buying pre-assembled candy collections.

This will allow you to stand out from the crowd and offer truly unique products. If you have the time and enjoy creativity, this can be a good way to increase sales online. Give your customers some product diversity, collections, or any combination of sweets.

Candy is the most popular item bought for Easter. That means that it is a boon for online re-sellers to stock candy and other sweets in their stores. The possibilities are endless.

Organic Snacks

Organic snacks are another great way to make some extra cash for the Easter holiday. Start stocking products ahead of the holiday so that you can meet the pre-holiday demand.

Selling variety packs and gift packs are great ways to attract new customers to your store. You can combine different organic snacks to create unique Easter gift packs. If you are buying in bulk, you can assemble gift packs which can be sold for more.

This can be a great way to stand out from your competitors. This can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like. Whether it’s sweet, salty, or a combination, Easter is a great time to sell organic snacks online.

GreenDropShip has many great products that you can use for your assortment packs. With more Americans favoring organic products, organic snacks are great products to sell.

Especially for health-minded parents, organic snacks can be a healthier alternative to traditional chocolates and sweets. That means that these products can appeal to different customers.

Even if you decide to sell individual organic snacks on your website, this can be a great way to boost sales over Easter. Just get creative!

Clothing

Clothing has also become a popular retail item for the Easter holiday.

It might be worth your time to stock clothing in your online store. In a recent study by the National Retail Federation, pollsters found that 49.6% of those who plan to celebrate Easter this year will buy clothing.
