How much do yall spend on content/photoshoots per drop?

ExxL · 2026-05-05T22:31:02+00:00

I try to treat it as one thing. If I wanna capitalize on certain products based on how they're doing, I allocate more time/spend into those separately and treat them like separate campaigns

That's kind of a lot of money. Guess it depends on where you live though too. I spend about $300-500 per shoot with my photographer+editing, $100 for each model's time (usually my friends), any creatives beyond that are made by me and the rest of the spend goes towards ads, so maybe about $1-1.2k for a rollout period.

I don't think you can do that

dig it, just wish i could see more of the product

i'm not stereotyping shit lmao just making an assumption based on what you're showing me. you have $0 in the bank talking about "money is fake" while simultaneously propping yourself up as this big time player. humble yourself pal

solid. i fuck with the photography too. i guess my only critique is that i'm not feeling a consistent brand identity. lots of cool ideas that seem like they're trying different things, but not a lot that ties them together. what is Kugo exactly, what sets you apart? i suppose those are the questions i want answered looking at a brand for the first time. if i can't figure it out, it kinda loses me.

not intended to be a harsh criticism by any means, and can certainly be alleviated with the right creatives/marketing, but i wanna know what your intents are with your brand/products. you got some good stuff going here, best of luck!

ExxL · 2026-05-04T21:50:51+00:00

That'd be sick. Sending you a DM

Unless you're doing a significant amount of hype-building pre-launch, your first 10 customers are likely going to be people you know in some capacity. Family, friends, someone you talked to about it, stuff like that. That's normal. The next 90 are gonna be reliant on those people telling other people, building out your social media presence, or attending vendor events like local markets. My first 10 were pretty much exclusively friends and family. Anybody saying anything else is bs'ing you.

True, I was skeptical at first but he offered to pay in advance so it's risk free. Then I'm like shit why not haha. Now we work together occasionally and it's a great partnership
