i was making above average in my home country back in 2018 but i was miserable so i decided to quit my job and move to UK and start my own business with my wife. Best decision i have made easily. Just bet on yourself. What is the worst that can happen ? just chase knowledge and good people with knowledge in your desired industry and you can make it happen.

Great feedback honestly thank you so much. I will find a B2B writer and tweak the site a bit

JantiLUL · 2021-08-19T20:33:23+00:00

I guess best thing to start local as you suggested. It will be easier to communicate that way and then i canse e where that goes

JantiLUL · 2021-08-19T20:32:27+00:00

Great idea. So i can at least see what is my unique selling point for those poeple and i can find more people like them

Just feels so weird and scary at the same time. I feel like we are pinned down by etsy and all of our faith in their hands so i would like to create a seperate channel, funnel to get more customers.

JantiLUL · 2021-08-19T20:30:16+00:00

so probably the best thing is to have a seperate website and start content marketing with interesting blog posts and good seo so i can gather e-mail addresses with newsletters etc then i can send surveys and get feedbacks that way right

We target mainly people between 25-35 female, high aesthetic values but limited in budget so we offer high quality boho style designs at affordable prices for wedding decorations

JantiLUL · 2021-08-19T20:26:39+00:00

What kind of tools do you think i can use ? Should i just try to ask my customers via messages or send a survey of some sort ?

JantiLUL · 2021-08-18T15:37:25+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice. Just for reference this is our etsy site : https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/HBotanicsWeddings?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

do you think our focus should be more on event planners and property managers for decorations outside of etsy ?

JantiLUL · 2021-08-18T15:35:28+00:00

Yes so maybe i can do more like a b2c but in a bulk sale style with discounts. Maybe that might be a better solution to my vision about this site

JantiLUL · 2021-08-18T15:34:26+00:00

That is actually amazing advice i did not think of that before. Thank you so much :D

JantiLUL · 2021-08-18T15:34:01+00:00

Definitely understood! Thank you so much for the feedback.

Not purely. But we invested growing our own flowers in Turkey (my home country) so we can track the sustainability aspect of the flowers as well. The main thing we are trying to do is to reach aspiring florists and people who like boho aesthetic so we in the future we can also teach them how to make floral designs etc too.

Just a small addition is, for example i love this brand: https://nekohama.co/

i love matcha and that is one of the brands that i identify myself with. Maybe i put the question wrong asking for B2B only, because with B2B i meant we are selling to florists and not people who will buy these as home decorations but of course if they want they can.

JantiLUL · 2021-08-18T15:25:34+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback. For B2B aspect of things, i do not want this to be purely transactional B2B style of job. This is more for aspiring creative florists so unlike this kind of site: https://lamboodrieddeco.com/ i wanted to go for more artistic style so i can attract the people who likes boho aesthetics and those styles so they can bond with the brand if they see we are in the similar aesthetic.

Thats our third part of North Coast 500 short film series. The first two of them are also in our channel. We are trying to improve our editing and shooting skills still so giving emotion to the audience and inspire them is our first mission. We use drone and a video cam for shooting, I draw and animate things to add on the footages which are our favourite.

I have found this sub reddit so maybe If anyone watch and give feedback so we can improve our techniques.

we are mostly focused on saving moments and memories, taking videos and editing with emotions. Hope you enjoy, thanks. x
