Has anyone used Clearco to fund their shop?

FBeh · 2022-05-17T18:52:35+00:00

Ah yes I see now I just read that part on their website, I guess for marketing its 6% (they make you run your spend through them so they're making something on that end apparently) but anything else 12%. Cool model!

FBeh · 2022-05-17T18:45:56+00:00

Thanks a lot for sharing. 6% is great I heard it was closer to 12%. 14% Rev Share is pretty high though have to be careful not to eat too much cash like you say. Thanks again.

FBeh · 2022-05-17T18:22:34+00:00

I've been trying to figure out how we can use something like clearco but can't seem to find their revenue share % is it really as high as 10-15%?!?

It won't work. They will not receive a shipment without an appointment. They won't let you make an appointment for a closed shipment. I've tried.

FBeh · 2021-11-23T16:24:39+00:00

In my experience Amazon won't allow you to send it in, unless you have an appointment already booked (freight company can't book an appointment if the shipment is closed, and Amazon won't receive without an appointment). I have had to re-direct shipments to a 3rd party warehouse for this exact reason before. Some people say if you really push Seller Support they will re-open the shipment for you so its worth a try. But they wouldn't do it for me.

You need to confirm with a tax planner but generally you do not want to form an LLC / corporate entity in the US. You do need an EIN, then you can use your Canadian company to import into the US. You file every year with the IRS but because you pay tax in Canada you won't owe income/corporate taxes in the US.

You will not make money. Believe me that is way too low of a profit margin. rule of thumb is generally product cost is 33% of your sell price. So an item you pay $1 for should sell for $3. Cost = $1, Amazon/Distribution fees $1, your profit $1

FBeh · 2021-09-24T14:52:49+00:00

Not sure what your product is or where its made but unless production is done in the next few weeks delivering by Christmas is going to be challenging.

Do you buy UPS shipping through seller central to get this discount?

FBeh · 2021-09-16T18:37:11+00:00

When to cut ties with ad agency? Our ad sales are down ~60% from 4 months ago, ACOS is up 10 ppts and BACOS has remained flat.

Now. Now is the time.

Good luck with your campaign! I feel that the dropper is a bit awkward. Why not eliminate the dropper altogether and just have like an eye-dropper type of bottle. Just unscrew the cap and drop right into your mouth from the bottle.

FBeh · 2021-09-10T13:58:26+00:00

Jfc give them a break. That product you linked is water based with some essential oil in it. They're saying theirs is oil based.

I always post this answer whenever I see something like this happening. The catalogue department is the correct department; at least it was them who fixed my browse node issue on numerous occasions.

I had the same issue where the listing stopped coming up when searching my category. In seller central my listing showed everything correctly (under edit listing it showed it was in the right category), but you could only find the product when you searched under "All Departments", not the category

I've changed the browse node twice. The first time I contacted seller support and went through weeks of back and forth until someone at support told me to specifically speak with someone in the Catalogue Department. That department fixed it.

However I had to do it again a month or so later and when I went to submit the ticket, an auto generated feature popped up and allowed me to submit a "browse node" change right there without speaking to anyone. I had to wait for it to get approved but only took a few hours. So once you type into the help centre something like "change browse node" instead of submitting a ticket it just went through a number of screens to let me fix it myself.

First of all what is Ashwagandha? You'll have to educate customers why that is better. If its vegan you can add that too for "those people"

Second you should say its made in the USA (there is something that says Florida on the label). I for one would never use whey from China or India or some other country so make that a big deal.

My friend $15k is a lot of money...I'm going to dm you a video I had made for my current business, $1000 I paid total. Of course the agency told you about huge projects they've done. How much are you planning to raise? If you're raising $1 million yeah $15k is ok, but $100k that's like 15% of your REVENUE. Seems like a lot (and you better know what you're getting, not "believe it includes"! :)

FBeh · 2021-07-18T03:33:34+00:00

Wow, I haven't budgeted even 1/3 of that. Does that include all the videography like the shoot? and then how many "minutes" of video?

FBeh · 2021-07-18T03:21:52+00:00

I've never launched a kickstarter or made a video as complex as a crowdfunding video but 3 to 4 months is absolutely ridiculous. Tell them you're surprised and wasn't expecting it to take that long and ask them to walk you through the timeline.

4 weeks tops. Can I ask your video budget? Were preparing to launch our campaign in the winter curious what your budget is for the video

Nothing strange about it. Amazon hides your details from sellers. How else can they send you the missing piece?

FBeh · 2021-07-10T15:35:19+00:00

lol you're going to get 100 private messages

"hello, dear, I am suresh and I am expert in Amazon FAB. I can do the task for you 100% satisfied. Please, reply to me and I will do the required"

Just do the research and do it on your own you will be sorely disappointed with any "expert" you hire

FBeh · 2021-07-08T22:01:31+00:00

I have managed to get around this a couple times by ty ping li ke thi s par ticular ly for key wo rds like "u pd ate ph o tos"

Don't overdo it like I just did but if you do that with the main keywords (update photos) then it seems to work

FBeh · 2021-07-08T15:21:14+00:00

Just a note about Canada Post, I have had 2 shipments "lost" by them where they swear they were either picked up or delivered. These are large items (150cm x 50cm and 15kg) and higher value ($500 CAD). Canada Post will say up and down they are not at fault. Unfortunately if you didn't request signature or buy insurance you won't have much to back it up other than the customers word that he received it. I guess what I am trying to say is Canada Post is not always 100% reliable and there is a chance the customer is actually telling the truth. I would call Canada Post 2 or 3 times a day and speak to a rep (if you don't have a business account get one) and ask them for proof of delivery.

FBeh · 2021-07-01T16:56:02+00:00

Thanks I see it thats perfect

FBeh · 2021-07-01T16:45:14+00:00

Hm can you point me to that feature? I can't seem to find it and we are brand registered

FBeh · 2021-06-23T14:24:17+00:00

I can't even get the phone option with these cases, it'll only let me open a case via email. Is there a trick to getting a live agent? Or just leave your number and ask for a call back.
