Product Sourcing

Sourcing Digital Products and Services

Digital products and services have zero inventory cost and unlimited margin. Learn how to source and productise them.

Sourcing Digital and Services

Digital products and professional services let you sell with virtually no inventory, warehousing, or shipping. With margin structures that are often far higher than physical goods, they are an attractive complement to any store.

Digital product opportunities

  • Templates, courses, presets, and digital art
  • Software and downloadable tools
  • Licensing or rights-based products
  • Memberships and recurring subscriptions

Productising services

Professional services — design, writing, consulting, and marketing — can be productised into standardised packages with clear deliverables, prices, and timelines. On Talio Square, services sell with a 5% commission, and escrow protects both parties.

Digital and service sourcing trades physical inventory for expertise and content. They scale with low cost per unit and are well suited to a premium positioning strategy.
