You may have seen this mentioned in Skip McGrath's January newsletter regarding my eBook, The Golf Shirt Bible.When I started selling on eBay in 2003, my core product was golf shirts I found these at thrift stores, golf pro shops, and off-price stores like TJ Maxx and Marshall's. Living in Atlanta, the golf mecca of the South, golf shirts are plentiful here. (Another example of the strategy, "Think about what you have access to that others don't.") In my pre-eBay life, I was the fundraising coordinator for a non-profit organization here in Atlanta and was involved in coordinating several golf tournaments. I learned a lot about golfers' clothing preferences and what happens to excess golf shirts created for tournaments and promotional events. I was able to build my business around this niche product, hence the name of my eBay store, Atlanta Golf Shop.
I have sold over 12,000 golf shirts during my eBay career to buyers in over 30 countries, resulting in a profit of over $100,000 over the course of about 5 years. As we move closer to spring, golf shirt sales are about to take off. Historically, March and April have been my best months to sell men's golf and polo shirts.
With this in mind, I have created an affiliate program for my eBook, The Golf Shirt Bible. Many of you reading this have already purchased it and know that it is an excellent resource for understanding this niche market. There are several reasons that golf shirts are good sellers on eBay:
1. Golf shirts are plentiful and easy to find in thrift stores and off-price stores.
2. Golf and polo shirts are a common wardrobe item - men wear them to work, for casual every day wear, to church, and of course, to play golf.
3. Men prefer internet shopping. They can go online, order a quantity of items at one time, and have them delivered to their door in a matter of days.
4. Golf shirts are easy to photograph and you can list them quickly.
5. They are lightweight and easy to ship - no chance of the customer receiving them broken and requesting a refund. (Compare this to shipping dishes or glassware - a packing nightmare.)
