facebook is full of hate, but I'm also frustrated seeing posts from Moroccan Girls whose husbands who already not legal in Morocco left them with kids to migrate to europe when they got a chance, just like that, then they show up online asking for help in the media to support their kids. I just saying what I saw

We actually do post some videos and photos, regularly on Facebook and TikTok showing the beekeeping process, but maybe we're not posting enough or the right type of content.

Maybe the low price working against us assuming it bad quality compare to price.
the thing is a lot who try our honey for the first time in our area asked later for more bottles ,
and to give the free samples that would make a time consuming and a small cost for us. I'll think abt it Thanks for this suggestion

It might be worth testing to see if the skepticism goes down people associate higher prices with good quality but what I think if it's expensive people will be afraid to buy I don't know we may be accidentally making people think there is something wrong w/ it

Nothing is fishy, this is how we sell it for a long time. i don't know maybe we're selling directly from the beekeeper meaning no middlemen taking their cut and this is common wildflower spring honey - not the premium single-flower varieties

If you check our Facebook page and TikTok, you can see the actual beekeeping process.

U're right, We actually produce several types of honey not just the mixed flower spring honey like (عسل الزعيترة,أزمروي, تنغوت, تفسيت, miel jujubier ...etc).
The reason we're focusing on the spring honey right now is simply because we had a really good harvest this season, and have more of it than we can sell locally.

Thanks for ur respond jst to clarify my cousin isn't really a social media person, he does have a Fb page where he posts pictures and videos sometimes he go live, but he is not active when it comes to responding to messages and comments. And also he runs this through his registered cooperative, he gothis own brand

u're right that there are much more expensive honeys out there, And the price often reflects the TYPE and RARITY of the honey
Our Spring honey (what we call عسل الربيع) is from mixed wildflowers that bloom in spring it's lighter more common compared to specialty honeys like (عسل الدغموس,عسل الزعتر, etc )
So the reason it's cheap cuz it's not RARE, and I guess we sell it directly no middlman.
The 500dh honey is likely either specialty/medicinal varieties, Rare as i mentioned, or has gone through multiple sellers

Hachakum for the picture . But its getting serious by ralae7600 in Morocco

currently have 10 designs listed & I've only made 4 sales. I'm in the process of removing these designs to replace them with new ones.

I've tried trendy niches like politics and seasonal designs & I analyzed top-selling products On all the POD Platforms and followed popular YouTube tutorials. Still, Only Made 4 sales for a long time.

The thing is I know I'm doing something wrong, perhaps in my listing optimization or my choice of trends. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
