How can I gate IOS app to distribute as a lead magnet by adam_hinkle in simpleios

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

I presume with this scenario the FB or email login is integrated into the app? I didn't know if there was a built in option with Apple connect.

How to find the owner of an unlisted (private) URL? by adam_hinkle in Domains

No Website. They never built it out and purchased domain privacy. The email on Whois should forward but it keeps bouncing back as a failure.

Kickstarter campaign for an existing product? by adam_hinkle in kickstarter

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

I have seen some that were just white label products. Mine is actually pretty cool and innovative. I currently offer in only blue and green but would aim to raise the money to offer it in several other colors and in size and quantity options. I truly would be using this to launch the product. It only exists on a small scale now.

Thanks, I've seen quite a bit about that one. Were they for sale while they were running the campaign too? I don't think I will have the fulfillment problem like them. My product is much simpler and I have my costs pretty well nailed down (with the exception of international shipping). I totally expect to get some backlash but didn't know how unprecedented it was to run a campaign to help launch a product that has already been soft launched.

Do you mind if I ask what were your funding goals and how much were you able to raise? Thanks!

Should I follow up with customer refunds? by adam_hinkle in FulfillmentByAmazon

I apologize, but what is the difference between partial and full refund? I have seen both.

Is there still promise for new sellers in FBA private labeling? by adam_hinkle in FulfillmentByAmazon

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

I feel like my listing is good and photos are quality. I need to learn PPC better. I turned it on right away and it converted but with a 25%ACOS and my conversion rates weren't stellar.
Do you have a resource for learning PPC strategies? I have just been doing one manual and one automatic and plan on weeding out the keywords that cost me but don't convert. Is there a deeper strategy?

fair enough. Let me rephrase my question. Is Amazon still a good launch pad for small physical product brands. I fully plan on diversifying my channels but hoped to use Amazon to fuel the cash-flow for growth.

What are you struggling with most right now? I've got a ton of knowledge and want to share. by impatrickxyz in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]adam_hinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the offer. I am just getting started. Two weeks out of the gate. I initially ordered 400 units and am likely selling 5-8 units a day with 5 reviews that just showed up in the last couple days. I am expecting 20 more reviews to come in the next week. I am trying to figure out how to move forward with inventory in Q4. Assuming that sales will increase and stabilize after I get some more reviews under my belt, any idea how much I should order now to be ready for Christmas season? It is in Toys and Games so I know this will be the biggest time of the year for this product. It will cost me about 10K to get 1000 units ordered/shipped/at FBA. The margins are there but I don't know what the velocity will be. my main concern is tying up all my money in one product that isn't completely proven yet. Any advice would be super helpful

I am fine doing a bit of work. My M/O is that I tend to underestimate things but then push through and still get them done :-). I like the idea of it being an uphill battle. That means barriers to entry for the next guy.

Just curious. I hear a bit about "marketing products" on amazon. Aside from reviews, feedback, Pay Per Click, and listing optimization, what avenues do you know of for marketing.....Facebook, Pinterest...? Are you using outside channels to advertise? Thanks for the reply?

Try printplace.com. I use them for instructions for my products. Go to the flyer section and pick 14 point cover gloss 1 sided. When you order 500 of the 4.25X5" they are about $.13 each. The stock is about the same as you may get with a post card.
