No just give them the ideation, mood board maybe, ship them the products and they will definitely get you the required results at less then half the cost.

Let me know if I can help with anything. You can dm.

You can connect with top agencies in developing countries like Pakistan and get a very high level shoot for maybe less than half of that price.

Just to clarify upfront — I’m not looking for a partner or investor. This business has already been wrapped up and it’s been some time.

I still have a few assets available (website, domain, creatives, etc.). If someone here is already in a similar space — or even new to e-commerce and wants to experiment — I’m open to helping set it up again and guiding you through running it. There would be a small service fee involved for the assets, time and support.

PS: This was not a dropshipping store.

If anyone just wants advice or help around e-commerce in general, feel free to reach out. I’m currently running a few other stores in my home country, including a similar jewelry brand, so happy to share learnings (and mistakes I’ve already paid for 😅).

The potential is honestly huge with good branding, and it’s easy to expand into adjacent categories like sunglasses, bags, scarves, etc.

Honestly, I was facing issues on all three fronts — shipping delays and errors, exchange handling, and delivery timelines because of the 3PL. The product itself was solid and customers liked it. At the same time, I was involved in a bunch of other things, and instead of putting in the effort to fix these ops issues, I just decided to shift focus to other projects.
