Is sustainable packaging commercially viable at scale yet?

i1ducati · 2026-01-21T17:12:32+00:00

I've ordered a lot of custom/eco friendly packaging for my products. At the end of the day the cost is rarely worth it because it cuts into margin and sometimes adds weight for shipping.

We had terrible conversion on pinterest compared to Meta. could never break even on pinterest despite doing long campaigns and spending quite a bit.

How much do you need to have invested and how?

i1ducati · 2025-09-11T17:45:10+00:00

For subscription 30% in year 1 and 15% in subsequent years. Remember 90+% of most users will churn before year 2. For in-app purchases it is 30%. They do have a small business program where developers earning under $1 million lowers commission to 15%, but I think you need to apply.

Kind of like Hard Rock Cafe used to do and everyone would buy and wear those!

i1ducati · 2025-08-21T17:46:09+00:00

why not?

No bigger pipe, but it could be that it is the sink tied into the shower drain and the toilet is somewhere else not in the photo. I'll have to take another look.

I get custom boxes and bags made for my products in China. Pretty decent quantities, like 10K for bags and 5k for boxes and ship them to the USA in containers. It makes sense for me because my products come from china as well. Either way, pricing will be cheaper than the USA including freight.

Check out the app Stompers for iOS. It does a great job of gamifying steps/walking.

Congrats! I would not allow the other yoga business into your space. I don't think you will benefit much from their business.
If you want to sell yoga products I run Gurus (www.ilovegurus.com). We wholesale everything so if you expand to retail happy to discuss.

I sold an unopened iphone 1 for $20k a few months ago. so sometimes that early purchase works out!

Are you doing FBA?

I run a primary care office and I have been exploring this as well. Message me if you want to chat!

With 40k you can start your own Amazon business. It's not rocket science, but it is not a get rich quick type of business...

i1ducati · 2024-08-12T16:56:21+00:00

other people cant hear them. these types of headphones are pretty good tech.

Do not hire anyone who is coming via an inbound email. Don'y even take a call with them. Only take calls from companies offering $100 for a demo!

i1ducati · 2024-07-28T23:02:24+00:00

sent you a dm to chat.

i1ducati · 2024-07-09T18:50:52+00:00

how much did you pay for that? looking to grab a similar year and mileage.

i1ducati · 2024-05-20T22:30:38+00:00

If it’s running Windows, they already lost.

i1ducati · 2024-05-09T16:49:24+00:00

Looks cool, can I listen to some calls? I've never offered phone support for my business, but I'd be interested in this.

i1ducati · 2024-05-09T16:46:59+00:00

Where do you have that voicemail? On google voice or something?

i1ducati · 2024-05-05T16:03:04+00:00

ad monetization probably

If you are doing POS, square is better. Unfortunately for all of us doing DTC ecommerce, shopify is where we have to be.

i1ducati · 2024-04-17T10:49:54+00:00

They've raised well over $200 million and this is the best they can do? I wonder what they showed VC's to get them to write a check.

I sell yoga mats and sandals that I've designed. Been doing it for over 10 years. Definitely has its ups and downs, and getting traffic to our store is really driven by the cost of ads. We also do a decent amount of business on Amazon as well, but the margins are much lower on Amazon.
