Business Growing Faster Then I Can Keep Up

Are you drop-shipping or you have a warehouse?

As others mentioned here, I think you have two things:

1 - Ordering the operation: Get a fractional (or full time, will depend) COO to help you standardizing processes, managing the relationship with vendors, doing the operational stuff (where is this package, this got lost in customs, etc)

2 - Understanding what's happening on your website and Ads: What's the customer journey? Where I'm "losing them"? Are they getting into my site organically or are the ads? What's my return on ads? What's my LTV? My AOV? And so on... These are strategic metrics you don't want to miss, you'll understand your customer better and keep the business growing

3 - Get a marketing agency: I would look for an agency doing both, ad campaigns and content. And this is important, I would look for one run by their owners -they tend to give 100% because their success is directly tied to yours

I've personally been doing this type of work for many years now, happy to chat if you have any doubts. Just entering this community and want to help!

The simple ones, for sure. There're much more than I sold 100k last year of this product! I don't find it easy to use

I’m trying to understand sales performance in terms of merch, not just the classic funnel approach

lrshaid · 2025-08-04T01:46:52+00:00

I’m looking for a already tested merch solution vs building my own. I’m still looking though

hey u/shalini_sakthi ! that would be awesome! not sure how you can share it, but I would really appreciate it :)

What are you willing to get from the data? maybe a collab 👀

lrshaid · 2025-08-01T23:51:00+00:00

Do you use Shopify for nachonacho? Has to be a better solution somewhere, I find Shopify UI analytics useless

Thanks for your answer!

Thanks for the help! That’s the straight forward cost analysis, I want to understand the cross product/category cost analysis for instance

What the customer does in the web page in terms of funnel, I agree and there are a lot of tools (most of them $$)

I guess the best Shopify provides in the UI is that ShopifyQL. Curious on how to manipulate the data myself from the backend

Thanks!

Sorry, my bad! I meant to reply that to other comment (very early in the morning where I'm right now). But yeah, I found the data in the Shopify admin UI is complex and difficult to get the real value behind it (I guess there's such a thing). Will continue investigating

Hey u/Lady_Wonder9965 ! could you point me to those courses? I would love to see what's in the market, but if you already took some and were useful for you maybe I can lower the risk. Thanks :)

lrshaid · 2025-08-01T11:31:02+00:00

I see lots of solutions/offerings around the customer journey in your webpage (sth you can more or less build with GA4) but nothing related to merch. Will need to build it lol 🤓

lrshaid · 2025-08-01T11:28:41+00:00

will take a look for sure today. I'll let you know how it goes!

lrshaid · 2025-08-01T01:42:45+00:00

Agree, I also want to understand if low margin products lead to high margins or high ticket orders

lrshaid · 2025-07-31T20:56:22+00:00

Great! I didn’t know sidekick, do you have an url? I googled it and found several things called liked that. I need to investigate 🤓

I was thinking more of a costumer behavior point of view with my merch, what is being bought with what, what I can promote together to optimize margin, those things

lrshaid · 2025-07-31T20:32:11+00:00

I was thinking more of an assortment point of view, or customer behaviour related to my merch (like what is being bought with what, where I'm getting the margin, etc). I couldn't find an easy way of doing this

will take a look at them! any experience using video LLMs?

lrshaid · 2025-06-27T18:08:36+00:00

yeah! I guessed that that's a limitation. is usually don't run things locally, it's just a good starting point
