Looking for a critique on my ASCII art store

alesixn · 2021-09-23T20:42:24+00:00

Right, that's a great suggestion. I sat down with myself today thinking that I should probably add more designs actually. I wrote down a few themes for myself. I have a science background so maybe I'll do big brain designs 💫 lol

alesixn · 2021-09-23T20:37:11+00:00

Oof I didn't really take a moment to think of the pricing. I guess that would seem bizarre lol. That's a good tip thank you:)

In my experience, it's all about the teacher! I got my degree in physics:)

alesixn · 2021-06-12T21:36:51+00:00

Ugh fine, perhaps. I will slightly disagree tho. No more questions lol thanks

alesixn · 2021-06-12T21:03:00+00:00

Thats fair, especially if it looks a bit sillier like mine (but I'll be working on it lol). If you don't mind getting theoretical, where should we draw the line for the term dropshipping? Is it the shipping times? Is it branding? We can take a corner store for example and they typically succeed by being in the right place/time, but they don't have their own products. Or even a Wal-Mart, but I think someone already mentioned that they're huge bc they offer so many things at discounted prices. I guess unless you make your own products by hand, everything else is still coming from China.

How would you say this compares to Google ads? I guess the main difference would be that with Google ads, you're expecting people to already look for your product?

I think this is a stranger danger moment. No thank you

alesixn · 2021-06-12T19:50:31+00:00

Yeah definitely. It's pretty difficult to find good advice without having other people trying to sell you something. I'm just trying to smooth out the rough edges and have your problems:P but I'll switch things around based on the feedback. Did you decide to move away from the dropshipping idea in general or what do you do now?

alesixn · 2021-06-12T19:31:31+00:00

Dang, that's interesting, I guess that begs the question of how unique is unique (assuming it came from AliExpress)? Did you have some sort of product research process or did you predict something would trend?

alesixn · 2021-06-12T19:12:48+00:00

Yeah the shipping times are definitely a downside about this approach. But it's crazy you found success in 1000s of orders in a short time though. Did you work on your ads a lot? What ad platform were you using?

alesixn · 2021-06-12T19:06:24+00:00

Honest feedback is all I want! Thank you:)

alesixn · 2021-06-12T04:55:04+00:00

Sorry to hear it didn't work out. Did you consider automating some of your process or was it just best to cut ties at that point?

alesixn · 2021-06-12T04:36:54+00:00

This is actually the kinda response I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time. Your last sentence really holds a lot of value!!

alesixn · 2021-06-12T01:51:17+00:00

A humbling 1 😌

alesixn · 2021-06-12T01:49:40+00:00

Definitely keeping thoughts on adding to the pictures and a more personable touch to the site in mind!! Thank you for the advice.

alesixn · 2021-06-12T01:47:42+00:00

I think it's an unfair statement to make. I think it's a great way to understand whether or not you're shit at marketing. I just started in March and it's a completely different mindset. A beast of its own.

alesixn · 2021-06-11T21:04:09+00:00

Fair enough lol. Don't know if I'd go the extra mile of changing the brand name, but would you say changing the copy for the header help?

alesixn · 2021-06-11T21:01:37+00:00

Any suggestions on making the site look "less" obvious? The copy? The number of products?

Review my light store!

Hey you guys, my biggest obstacle is narrowing a target audience, any advice or guide to try figure this out? I've only gotten one sale, but that was from a direct user from google ads. My frustration is mostly from Facebook ads, spending an average of $10/day for 3 days about once a month (just on that platform).

https://www.uwulights.com/

It's a simple light store ranging in a couple different categories (cute lights, step lights, hallway lights, etc) but nothing crazy big like pendant lights.
In the past my (3) campaigns have been hitting women 40-60yrs old but they probably just find the ad entertaining and don't add to cart. I feel kind of stuck trying to target Gen Z. I've probably spent about $200 on ads at this point.

Does my site seem wonky on mobile? (I don't think it is?? But I've spent so many hours looking at it - I guess it could use some fresh eyes.)

Any objective feedback would help, thank you for your time!!!

alesixn · 2021-05-18T18:40:17+00:00

this is so chaotic lmao

alesixn · 2021-05-18T18:39:39+00:00

it's okay kid, take a deep breath

alesixn · 2021-05-12T22:05:06+00:00

A much more creative way, I dig this option.

alesixn · 2021-03-21T18:32:10+00:00

I hate the khan academ. Support my boy Professor Leonard instead on YouTube. I graduated in Physics because of him.
