get started

Starting an online camping and outdoor products business can be rewarding especially with the continued rise of interest in outdoor lifestyles, van life, glamping, and sustainable travel.

What to Expect When Starting:

Differentiation (niche focus, unique branding, eco-friendliness) is key.

Seasonal Trends
Expect higher sales in spring and summer. Off-seasons may require strong marketing strategies or alternate revenue sources (like gift items, indoor fitness, or travel gear).

Logistics & Fulfillment
Bulky items (like tents, coolers, chairs) can be expensive to ship.
Connecting with US drop shippers & distributors is key.
