After Diwali, the cold slowly arrives in north and central India, and people start buying for winter. Stores that are ready early — with the right products listed and photographed — catch that demand. Here are winter products to sell online, by type of shop.
Clothing and textiles
- Woollen sweaters, cardigans and jackets.
- Shawls and stoles — pashmina, Kullu and handloom wool.
- Thermal wear for kids and elders.
- Blankets, quilts and razais.
Write the material clearly — pure wool, wool blend, acrylic — and give sizes and care instructions.
Food and sweets
- Dry fruits and dry-fruit gift boxes.
- Gajak, chikki, til laddoo and gur sweets for Makar Sankranti and Lohri.
- Honey, jaggery and herbal teas.
- Pinni and panjiri in the north.
Print packing and best-before dates, and your FSSAI number.
Beauty and personal care
- Moisturisers, lip balms and body butters.
- Hair oils and winter skin care kits.
Avoid medical claims. Say what the product does in simple words.
Home items
- Floor rugs and durries.
- Kettles, flasks and hot-water bottles.
- Room heaters and electric blankets (if you sell electronics).
When to get ready
- October: list winter products, take photos, set prices.
- Early November: announce new stock right after Diwali.
- December–January: peak buying, plus Christmas, New Year, Lohri and Sankranti gifting.
Tips for listing
- Photograph woollens in daylight to show the true colour and texture.
- Show a close-up of the weave or knit.
- Give exact sizes for blankets and shawls in centimetres or inches.
- Make winter gift boxes — a shawl with a jar of honey, or gajak with dry fruits.
Shipping bulky items
Blankets and quilts are light but bulky. Vacuum-pack or roll them tightly to save courier cost, and set fair delivery charges or free delivery above a set amount.
Don't forget the south
Winter is mild in much of south India, but buyers there still buy woollens for travel to hill stations and the north, and dry fruits for gifting. Keep a few items ready for them too.
Our online stores let you list seasonal products with photos and prices, run coupon codes, and on Pro and Elite, suggest a matching item next to each product. See online store plans or read how to take product photos with your phone.
