Find a specific gardening product not sold widely in your market, import it, and sell it direct-to-consumer through a simple Shopify store and social posts.
Summary
Spot a product repeatedly requested by your audience, source/import the SKU (if it's unavailable locally), create a basic Shopify listing, promote via social (Instagram stories worked), and sell initial inventory quickly.

Target customer
