6 of the Best Items to Sell Online in July 2021

July could be a turning point for both American consumers and Marketplace sellers. According to MarketWatch, JPMorgan analysts are saying that July 4th will mark the reopening of the U.S., and that there's a lot of demand to "get out and gather." And data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that hundreds of millions of COVID-19 vaccine doses have already been administered across the country. Those numbers will only grow as July nears.

Does this mean people will be spending on products for backyard cookouts, campfires on the beach, and other get-togethers? We can't say for sure, but we're here to offer a look at six of the best items to sell online in July 2021, based on their popularity with DealNews readers last July.

Let's begin with health and household products.

Health and household items proved to be the most popular category by far in July 2020, and we expect the same in 2021. Last year people gravitated toward products such as flushable wet wipes, packs of pill pouches, gallon-size slider storage bags, liquid laundry detergent, powder cleansers, and hand soap refills. Many of these goods came from big-name brands, such as Ziploc, Ajax, Cottonelle, and Tide.

Two other items that appealed to our readers last year were noncontact digital thermometers and two-packs of hand sanitizer bottles. We're betting that their popularity had a lot to do with the coronavirus pandemic, so they might not be as big of a draw in 2021.

Let's move on to the second type of product to sell in July, and that's home improvement items.

Home improvement supplies show up frequently on our lists of good items to sell, and that may stem from the eternal list of house projects homeowners seem to have. So which of these home improvement items could be good to sell in July? Items that resonated last year included outdoor light timers, downspout extensions, Bluetooth LED strip lights, and dual carabiners. Our readers also went for grill and outdoor scrubbers — an unsurprising choice for the summer grilling season.

Next up on our list is skincare and dental products.

People always need to take care of their teeth and skin, which makes skincare and dental products safe bets for sellers pretty much anytime. Even better, these types of items lend themselves to repeat purchases. Popular items last July ranged from deodorant bar soap and bath bars with cocoa butter, to containers of mouthwash and multipacks of manual toothbrushes.

Packaged food and drinks are another type of product that folks purchase year-round, and they're the next category we recommend selling in July.

But the variety of food and drinks is endless, so it helps to know which food and drinks hold appeal during the month. Popular items will include one-pound boxes of baking soda, bags of almonds with a wasabi and soy sauce flavor, 12-packs of beef-flavored noodle soup cups, K-Cup pods with dark roast coffee, and bags of dark roast ground coffee, if the list is anything like last July's.

Now we'll move on to products for the home, which is the fifth type of item to sell online come July.

July could be a good month to sell goods for the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and even the laundry room. Our readers gravitated toward paper towel holders, Egyptian cotton sheet sets, color-coded mesh wash bags, brushed nickel shower cradles, and automatic soap dispensers in July 2020. Other items that resonated were two-packs of moisture absorbers and seasonal beach blankets.

We'll wrap up this edition by talking about garden and patio products.

Summer is prime time for hanging out outdoors; keep that in mind when deciding what to sell in July. In 2020 our readers sought out items like patio furniture, fire pits, 17-inch barbecue skewers, and outdoor cooking products in general.

Popular items on the garden front ranged from garden irrigation systems to greenhouses, and indoor plant food spikes to bird bath solar fountains. Note that backyard bird feeding became a trendy hobby in the midst of the pandemic last summer, so people who've kept up with it may be looking for more birding merchandise.
