✔ Value for money
❌ What they don’t want:

- Customized products
👉 Reason:
High returns = loss + penalty + account performance drop.
3.4 The Meesho Product Selection Formula (Simple & Powerful)
Before selecting any product, ask 5 questions:
✅ 1. Is There Demand?
Check:
- Meesho trending section
- Similar product listings
- Number of sellers selling same item
If multiple sellers exist, demand already exists.
✅ 2. Is Competition Manageable?
Avoid:
- 100+ sellers with identical images
- Extremely low prices you can’t match
Choose:
✔ Products with variation (design, color, size)
✔ Scope for differentiation
✅ 3. Is Margin Healthy?
Target:
- ₹40–₹150 profit per order (minimum)
- Avoid products where profit < ₹25
👉 Example Margin Calculation
- Product cost: ₹180
- Meesho selling price: ₹299
- Commission + shipping: ₹70
- Net profit: ₹49 ✔️
✅ 4. Is Return Risk Low?
Low return products:
✔ Non-size items
✔ Utility products
✔ Standard quality items
High return products:
❌ Size-dependent
❌ Color-sensitive
❌ Expectation-based items
✅ 5. Can Supplier Support Scaling?
Ask:
- Can supplier handle volume?
- Is quality consistent?
- Are images accurate?
👉 This is where supplier quality decides your future.
