I would recommend that you do exactly the same as if you were setting up your own store. You will want products that would sell and products that your customers will want to buy again and again.
Depending on your own needs, you may want to promote items of high value with higher profit margins. Repeat purchases are normally lower with these kind of items: bicycles, stereos, computers etc.
On the other hand if you want rapid repeat business, you may want to consider consumable goods--health products, cleaning products, magazine subs etc.
You may even have a combination of both.
Whatever you do, I recommend that you do some research. Have a look at the surveys that have been done about online shopping. Look at the categories of the items that are being purchased the most and how often. You can also find out details about your target customers and formulate your marketing accordingly.
Also have a look at the listed ratings of the products and the ECAs on TripleClicks. The more stars a product/ECA has the more attractive they would be to the customers.
Another point that should not be overlooked are the shipping costs. Obviously if the product is available locally, the shipping costs would be greatly reduced or eliminated altogether. Customers do take into account shipping costs when purchasing online.
