  1. Swimwear. If there's something that never fails, this summer season is swimwear. A quick search on AliExpress will expand to many different swimwear models for men and women.
  2. Water shoes. These are the essential items, especially for a trip to a rocky beach and for people who don't love flip-flops or being barefoot at pools.
  3. Beach toys. If you have kids, you understand the importance of these items for your customers. Include many toys in your store, such as water guns and buckets.
  4. Tents. Nobody wants to get their skin burned by the summer's hot and bright sun, so why not add some tents your customers will need on their vacations.
  5. Inflatables. Summer is for everyone, even if they're not traveling to the beach. Inflatables will help your customers get fun moments while staying at home and enjoying their free time by the pool.
  6. Beach chairs. Make it easier for your customers to stay longer at the beach by helping them to take a proper seat under the sun with foldable beach chairs. Who said discomfort? 
  7. Portable Bluetooth speakers. While a good talk with friends by the pool is appreciated, sometimes it takes a fine playlist to make the moment more enjoyable. Make it possible by adding portable Bluetooth speakers to your summer-ready store.
  8. Popsicle molds. Getting a refresh with some homemade popsicles was never easier with these popsicle molds.
  9. Sunglasses. Don't forget the most useful, essential, and cool universal summer item. Sunglasses are a must!
  10. Portable Fans. And what if your customers are not getting vacations? Then a portable fan will make these days less hot!

Including high-demand summer products in your store and combining this with a solid strategy can be a game-changer for selling more. Vacation time is an excellent opportunity to increase your profits if you direct your store the right way.

  • Create a marketing campaign. Show your audience what you're offering, the recent products you added to your store, and their benefits. 
  • Think of your customers. You know your customers better than anyone. Think about what's more likely for them to buy? Do they have children? Do they work in an office? Your current and past sales will give you a hint. 
  • Use the proper tags to optimize your store. A helpful tip for writing the correct tags is to think about how it's more likely for my customer to search my products.
