I. Introduction

Magnetic memo board, a planning board that adheres to places like refrigerators and kitchens, assisting in managing schedules.

Life cannot wait for others to arrange it, and families need a sense of ceremony. For important moments such as birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and Valentine's Day, to avoid forgetting, the most practical method is to use a memo board to jot down and create a schedule checklist, ensuring proper time planning.

There are many benefits to using this tool. It not only helps you understand how to effectively utilize time but also allows you to accurately know when to complete specific tasks, making your personal life more organized and your family activities more coordinated.

Planning Boards has a relatively small market size, with annual sales of approximately $16 million. New product quantity accounts for 39% of sales, indicating that consumers are receptive to new products. However, the low product threshold and high PPC bidding pose certain challenges, and sellers need to consider their own situation before deciding whether it is suitable to enter the market.

Strengths

Weaknesses

39% of the TOP100 products are new, indicating high acceptance of new products by consumers. The product return rate is low, at only 4.8%, making after-sales costs controllable. Although the market growth rate has slowed down, it is still expected to have an annual growth rate of over 20% in 2023. If monthly sales are less than 100, there is a chance to enter BSR.

Most of the products have A+ content and videos, with high requirements for images and videos. There are few options for logistics, with a bias towards sea freight, resulting in long delivery times and a high possibility of stock shortages. Some top brands have relatively low pricing, so new sellers entering the market don't have much advantage in terms of price.

Opportunities

Threats

The head brand layout is relatively simple, and consumers do not have a strong brand awareness. The products are relatively ordinary, and product research and development can be done in terms of style, design, materials, or intelligent functions.

PPC bidding is high, and it is difficult to control marketing and promotion expenses. Sales may vary significantly in different months due to the impact of the back-to-school season. With an increasing number of products in the category, competition may become more intense.
