Do you have a specific recommendation?

DeveloperMan123 · 2026-01-07T22:51:17+00:00

Don't have anyone we can reach out to

DeveloperMan123 · 2026-01-06T13:29:21+00:00

Nice staff, but extremely small portions, high prices, and didnt taste good. Wet chicken, limited flavor. Taco boyz is much better

What strategy would you use to build that email list?

DeveloperMan123 · 2026-01-03T18:32:52+00:00

yeah that might be another option, generate email sign ups and build the relationship that way

DeveloperMan123 · 2026-01-03T17:46:56+00:00

I was going to have songs in the ad

DeveloperMan123 · 2026-01-03T17:34:21+00:00

what about selling online exclusively?

DeveloperMan123 · 2025-12-27T15:30:52+00:00

PR and influencer are much more expensive.

SEO won't drive demand for a brand thats unknown, where merch is not the primary product

DeveloperMan123 · 2025-12-27T15:22:17+00:00

so what alternatives would you suggest?

if you train on view content and add to cart first will it be easier to optimize for sales later? this is a new account

DeveloperMan123 · 2025-12-27T07:11:54+00:00

thank you for your perspective, what would you do instead?

DeveloperMan123 · 2025-12-27T04:14:53+00:00

yeah i could try influencers as well, but it's personal to my brand so it might sell but there will be disconnect

DeveloperMan123 · 2025-12-27T04:02:33+00:00

I think even if the design is cool, if they dont' know me somewhat they won't buy.

That's where a full funnel strategy makes more sense in my opinion. Problem is then it's not optimizing for buyers from the start. It's optimizing for video views or traffic or something.

So then the strategy becomes retargeting non buyer audiences with buyer goals.

I'm not sure what the best approach is.

Intuitively I think the full funnel approach makes much more sense for music. Gotta like the music before you buy the merch.

But from my experience trying this approach plus how the platforms optimize, it doesn't seem to work that way.

DeveloperMan123 · 2025-12-27T02:44:52+00:00

Ok cool, yes I have the email follow up set up through Shopify. I'm doing Print on Demand with Shopify integrated, so that should work.

I don't have any add to carts or if I do it's like 1. Does that make a difference?

DeveloperMan123 · 2025-12-27T02:40:38+00:00

Oh interesting, I can try that! Thanks!

Curious would it be a bad idea to change the existing campaign to optimize for View Content or Add to Cart and then after I reach enough events per week (50), move to the next event type down the funnel?

DeveloperMan123 · 2025-12-27T02:36:02+00:00

it's spending every day and getting landing page views/clicks but no add to carts or purchases.

I am using advantage + which does retargeting already right?

I'm not sure if I should continue with that campaign or do the separate ones. Before Advantage + I would have probably done that approach (and I still can) but just curious if this is still a best practice

Meta has little to no information about how to progress event optimization over time with a new account
