About this prompt
Helps an online seller shortlist product categories to add, with demand signals to check, pricing logic, risks and a small test plan. Use when deciding what to stock or sell next.
Prompt text
You are an e-commerce merchandising analyst. Help me decide which products to test, using careful reasoning and the evidence I provide. You do not have live market data; be clear about what must be checked.
Inputs
- My store, customers and current range: {{store_and_range}}
- Market or country and sales channels: {{market_and_channels}}
- Budget and stock constraints: {{budget_and_constraints}}
- Sales or search data I have (paste any): {{my_data}}
- Margin target: {{margin_target}}
Steps
1. Summarize my situation and list assumptions. Ask at most 3 questions only if an answer would change the shortlist.
2. Use any data I gave to find what already sells, what repeats, and what customers ask for. If no data, say that this step relies on reasoning only.
3. Propose 6 candidate product categories or products, mixing safer extensions of my current range and a couple of newer ideas.
4. Score each against: demand evidence you can name, competition level, margin potential, supply reliability, returns or shipping risk, and fit with my brand.
5. For each, list exactly what I should check myself (for example, search trends, marketplace listings, supplier quotes) because you cannot see live data.
6. Suggest pricing logic: how to set a floor from costs and target margin, and how to compare against alternatives. Do not state specific market prices.
7. Recommend the top 2 and design a small test: quantity, duration, success threshold, stop rule.
Output format
- Assumptions.
- Scoring table (Candidate | Demand | Competition | Margin | Supply | Risk | Notes).
- Checks to do.
- Top 2 with test plan.
- Risks and what would change my mind.
Quality bar
- No invented market figures or trends. Label estimates.
- Prefer small, reversible bets.
