Going for more technology is the usual trend among homeowners in 2025. With new innovations, devices, and accessories, everyone is trying to go for options that make their lives easier. or, at least, more enjoyable.
This is why the smart home market is experiencing unprecedented growth. With more people also having access to options around their price points, it is natural for resellers to start seeing increases.
Of course, this is not the only reason for growth and popularity.
Fueled by rising consumer demand for convenience, security and energy efficiency, everyone is aiming for more upgrades. While it was seen as an option, people consider them a necessity.
Hence, you will find more people “building” their homes around smart pieces, key devices, and bringing new innovations to their places.
For resellers, retailers, and stores, this comes as a great opportunity. You can access liquidation lots and pallets, focus on the quality, and consider the way you can invest low while still making a lot.
Smart home devices like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and other IoT gadgets offer a lucrative opportunity. You can organize the inventory, access everything in bulk and wholesale prices, and maximize your profit as you go.
But Do You Understand What You Are Selling?
Before starting any business, you want to make sure you understand your market.
Not only in terms of customers but also the exact items you are selling. This is key within the surplus and liquidation industry because you cannot focus on a single type or category.
Liquidation pallets for smart home devices come with a mix of all pieces. You will find Amazon Alexa, but also options around third-parties and specific accessories or peripherals.
Hence, take the time to understand the process, what you get and, in this case, what to expect from your pallets. Then, you can work on planning for selling and how to maximize profits.
Some items you will access include:
- Smart Speakers and Displays. Amazon Echo devices, Google Nest speakers, and smart displays with voice assistant integration.
- IoT Sensors and Controls. Smart thermostats, lighting controls, motion detectors, door/window sensors, and smart plugs.
- Security Devices. Wireless cameras, video doorbells, smart locks, and alarm systems.
- Entertainment Accessories. Streaming devices, smart remotes, and connected audio equipment.
How to Succeed with Smart Home Liquidation
At Coastal Surplus Solutions, we understand that everything is a process.
You want to make sure you work through the essentials, and the first one is knowing your supplier.
Not all liquidators are good options. Not all of them will offer high-end pallets, and definitely, not all of them can make you profits.
Our suggestion as professional sourcing partners is that you focus on:
- Request Detailed Manifests. Understand the exact product mix and conditions (new, open-box, returns) before purchasing.
- Focus on Brand Recognition. Prioritize well-known brands like Amazon and Google to attract buyers.
- Bundle Products. Create attractive packages combining smart speakers with sensors or security devices.
- Leverage Multiple Sales Channels. Sell through e-commerce platforms, retail outlets, and B2B partnerships.
- Stay Current on Trends. Monitor emerging technologies like AI enhancements and interoperability standards to stock relevant products.
Following these will help you go from the basics of sourcing your items and identifying value to being able to sell them accordingly.
We can also bring support to our strategic sourcing service. As mentioned by the Small Business Bureau, having professionals not only reduces costs but also puts you on track.
Hence, feel free to contact us and learn more or leave the entire process to our team.
