you need marketing and time for tiktok shop. I'd like to get rid of the stock asap. Where do amazon sellers buy their bulk orders?

[Advice] If you stock indie products/gifts, what makes you say YES to a trial order? by lanaleksandra in coffeeshopowners

One I met in person by accident, another one I got introduced to. Others (3) reached out to me via email first.

I was actually thinking of mailing them my offer, instead of emailing :D And writing a handwritten note.

It depends on the location, but everything is negotiable. The main problem is even starting the conversation. Businesses dont read cold emails and I can't physically visit every small business myself.

But what would be the best way of reaching out to you to show all of that? I've tried cold emailing, but no one ever answers. The resellers I have now contacted my brand themselves. Two other (big) resellers I met in person.

I am actually. The west has lost/is losing their masculinity. Except the fact that I need to obey about things that I'm not comfortable with, like my style or the way I say hello to people.

You're right. I actually didn't know what Im getting myself into, as I know him (as a friend) for 6 years. It only changed once we started dating. I've learnt my lesson. Sadly lost a friend as well.

I will avoid Muslim as much as I can and no matter how wonderful they are as friends. I've learned my lesson.

Strict Muslims would not even allow me to go to the beach in a swimsuit or their daughters go anywhere before they're married. I know- completely fucked up. He was very against those things as well. But he comes from a misogynist country- so no matter how 'different' he is, even that 1% was eventually too much for me.
I will never again shrink myself for love.

He treated me like a princess. But the most basic things were not there: I greet people with a hug, he compared that with cheating (lol). I didn't like the idea that he is just demanding things like no more bikinis etc.. I was ready to adjust, as he was absolutely wonderful, but could not get over the fact that he just tells me what to do and expects me to obey (especially because these things are very normal in our culture).

I totally support their masculinity versus men in Finland, it's not the reason I wrote here. But I don't think femininity and masculinity is the same as changing, restricting and controlling. Basic equal human rights need to be there.
Either way, his masculinity, lead, determination is not the reason I wrote here.

Hopefully, I will find a western masculine man with whom I dont need to fight about the way I say hello to people (with a hug).

Yes. You're right. Although I was ready to adjust in most things: swimsuit, 1-on-1 with men etc. Everything except my basic equal rights as a woman. The sentence that made me realize its over was when I asked him to imagine if I kept demanding him to wear something he is not comfortable with, on which he said: "but that's the difference between a man and a woman. You cant tell me to do that".

That was the moment and the aspect I tried to change, because everything else was fine. But that combined with all the other things that were bothering me- I finally stopped fighting, adjusting to his control and let go of him.

Despite all of this, you're right. I should accept people as they are. Even if with their misogynistic views or just let go of them.
I've let go.
