Specific sub-categories that work, with target price points and margin expectations.
GOTS-certified, queen and king sizes. Sage, beige, dusty rose are best-selling colors. Avoid neon and prints initially.
500-700 GSM, hotel quality. Sets of 6 sell best (2 bath, 2 hand, 2 face). Single-color packaging.
Cotton, linen, or wool blends. Boho and minimalist styles. 50x60 inches is the sweet spot.
Block-printed, embroidered, or solid. Sets of 2 or 4. 18x18 inches is the US standard size.
Runners, placemats, napkins. Sets sell better than individual pieces. Festive themes for Q4.
Cotton, jute, microfiber. Heavier per unit means freight matters. Pick lighter materials.

Bad photos = no sales. Budget $200-500 per ASIN for professional lifestyle photography. We can recommend US-based photographers.
