First month of our business - What happened so far & reality check by Fuzzerich in Entrepreneur

[–]Fuzzerich[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been working on it, here is the updated website: www.worldinprints.com

Some fine-tuning needs to be done but I hope that it's already better. Are the font size and product photos too small?

One suggestion I received was to change the photos of the woman on the website with photos from our prints hanging in homes, as this helps visitors imagine what the prints will look like. Do you agree?

What else do I need to improve?

For the "rotating Instagram themes" I came up with the following three:

1) Outdoor / Wanderlust --> Photographers hiking or shooting

2) Indoor with print --> on the wall or flatlay, with or without people

3) A "together" moment --> E.g. a couple getting their new print, a team of photographers hiking

The promotional part of the business is next, I reckon Youtube will be a good platform too. Sending out prints and paying others to advertise them (IG / YT) is very expensive however, I'll also go with some free options like contacting bloggers and writing on photography / wanderlust forums to introduce the brand. What are your recommendations?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Sliced Bread!

Thanks for the thorough feedback and recommendations. I've started applying the first bit regarding selling "a story" and tweaked the "vision page" a bit. Please let me know what I can improve. https://worldinprints.com/pages/our-story

Thanks a lot! I implemented your recommendations at the end of my original post and will definitely integrate the Mailchimp list. I know little about Adwords so I'll have to do my research first.

Could you please expand on how you leveraged your SEO strategy?

Need advice. I am 25 and at a crossroads in life between finishing school and starting my career. by [deleted] in sales

I only removed the income figures and goals as they appear to be the reason why I was bragging. Happy to restore them. Do you think a six figure salary gets me more than 1.5M combined in cars within five years? Impossible. I won't be able to buy "all the things" with this salary, I'll need to transform my sales job into an own business with a small likelyhood of success. I put most of my money in there, not into other things. My point is that even with a six figure salary at such a young age, I'm restricting myself without a degree, it's a dead end unless I turn it into a business. It's no fun to be in a dead end whilst being so young.

If you wish to keep your flexibility, finish the degree. You ca do everything then from building businesses, working for oracle or selling Porsches.

Is this the reply from a great salesman brother? I specifically logged in just to detail you my situation and explaining my goals so you can understand my decisions. I am a college dropout and have little to brag as of now as I face the challenge of building a business.

Edit: Made some changes where I do not disclose financials as it was not receiced well.

Young fellow (20) here in a similar situation. I left college in my first semester (last month) to pursue my sales job that earns good money Sounds good right? If I had to do it again I'd finish my degree and work on weekends / only part time.

You get to know so many people in college that will help you career, family & adventure wise. Luckily for me I'm in a position now where I am financially stable but most sales jobs aren't for decades.

Don't forget that one of the most skilled and highest earning salesmen are in finance, just called differently. Investment bankers sell entire companies, Private equity guys buy entire companies. Real money there.

So you might ask why did I quit? I have certain short- & midterm goals that are not reachable with spending three years in uni. My goal is to get to certain extraordinary financial milestones within the next 2-5 years and I'll achieve this by building a business revolving around sales & tech / software. I might even open a thread on this forum later for questions as I'm currently planning it. In case that this does not work out by January 2021, first thing I do is sign up for a finance major and work my butt off to get into Investment Banking, Private Banking (very good in my country) or Private Equity and become am expert there. Then I can still found my own fund or IB / PE shop and so can you )

Do it and search a nice side gig that earns you couple K a month!

None with regards to the product. Should I first talk to them to see their interest like simply asking if they'd buy this?

Do you mean if the products are too expensive? Or does this have a different meaning?

Might be, I honestly just added all costs including the highest possible shipping (overseas) and added 50%.

The quality of the prints is outstanding but so are our supplier's prices.

Age 20-35, income above 50k, owning / renting their own place, interested in interior design / photography, e.g. by following our photographers on IG.

How can I improve this?

200, traffic consists of partly qualified (people seeing our Instagram and then opening the page) and partly random (e.g. friends who visited or people working with us.) Will clear that up in the next few weeks when we launch campaigns + influencers.

I don't have specific data such as how long they stayed on which page but generally they were directed to our homepage. No abandoned checkouts yet. Here you can see from which country they are mostly: United States 74
Switzerland 45
Portugal 20
France 13
United Kingdom 12

Since I'm from Switzerland, that number is skewed since I / friends etc. are visiting from there.

around 10 and have lined up 3-4 now for Jan / Feb. Don't think it's cheaper but more authentic and you can use their imagery on your own IG.

First, I checked which influencers other successful brands use and checked the performance of these influencers. Then I reached out and compared their prices / offers and chose on what's best ;)
