Accessorizing One of the Year’s Hottest Products
When it made its debut in September, Apple’s iPhone 7 dominated the industry’s imagination. It also sold big, capturing a 10.6% share of the smartphone market in the United States.
Now, as 2016 winds to a close, the device’s features are well understood. And so is its profit potential.
As you adopt a sales strategy for iPhone 7 accessories, be sure to keep in mind its specific improvements over previous models.
Headphones and Speakers
The most controversial change was probably the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack. But from a retailer’s perspective, this is not necessarily a bad thing. It creates fresh potential to sell wireless headphones that will give iPhone 7 owners the best listening experience available.
Skullcandy manufactures an impressive brand of Bluetooth headphones known as Grind. Retailing at just under $90, these SKUs combine cord-free convenience with killer looks. Features include 12-hour battery life and 40mm audio drivers tuned to make all sounds equally impressive.
But headphones aren’t the only sales opportunity. For the iPhone 7, Apple added a second speaker, enabling true stereo separation for the first time. However, reports indicate that it only really works in landscape mode. What better time to sell portable speakers?
Trusted manufacturers include iHome, iLive, Philips and others.
Consider the Bluetooth Stereo Speaker with Speakerphone and NFC from iHome. It brings Bluetooth audio to smart devices, including those made by Apple. Customers can count on it for great sound at less than $100 retail.
On the lower end of the price spectrum, products like the i.Sound Fire Waves Bluetooth Speakers (which retail at $39.99) also make great choices.
Cases
The iPhone 7’s size specifications are almost—but not quite—the same as the thinner iPhone 6. This means new cases are a must for consumers who want to safeguard their devices. Fortunately there are many to choose from.
Ballistic offers several visually pleasing options for iPhone 7, including the Tough Jacket Case and the Jewel series. These have been rigorously tested to provide protection against drops up to 6 feet.
From Spigen comes the Crystal Shell Case. Its design is more minimalist and transparent than usual, but it doesn’t skimp on the military-grade drop protection, either.
Speck is another company that’s made its name with durable cases for the latest smartphones. Its iPhone 7 offerings are no exception. They include the CandyShell Case, whose sleek design and bold colors complement the Apple aesthetic.
Trident also makes great cases specifically for the iPhone 7.
Memory
Just because the iPhone 7 represents an upgrade in storage capacity—they start at 32GB (as opposed to the iPhone 6’s 16GB)—doesn’t mean there isn’t room for expansion. The Leef iBridge is a mobile storage solution for iOS devices. Customers can use it to back up their files and photos, rather than having to worry about deleting them to make more room. This special drive is available in 32GB, 16GB, 64GB and 128GB editions.
The Takeaway
