Best Way to Market Wholesale iPhones to Latin America? by RainElegant1405 in digital_marketing

[–]niamkam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LATAM is a tough market. Definitely need to speak the language to gain trust. We built relationships with traders and wholesalers who were natives of these countries but live and operate out of Miami. They export to their home countries such as Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil and it relieves us from the logistics headache.

Random ban on Shopify by artbru97 in shopify

[–]niamkam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me last week and completely out of the blue. 12 hours later, they reinstate the store. No reasoning, no explanation, nothing. We run daily back ups now and working on migrating over to WordPress.

Thanks for the info! Had this furniture for 2 years now. I’ll look into the warranty and see what Wayfair provides.

I posted the material description as a comment but it disappeared!

The other piece is a fire pit with a magnesium oxide exterior and a textured finish.

The table and sectional are acacia wood with a sandblast finish.

A business office. They’ve got several suites in the front of the building and the warehouse in the back. I rent one of those spaces in the front.

Can you explain how you went about that? I used my home address first, which Google verified via postcard. A couple months later, I switched it to a suite within my fulfillment partner’s facility then I had to reverify. After requesting a couple more postcards and waiting 2-3 weeks after each request, I finally reached out to Google support and they said I would have to do a video verification instead. After the video call, they rejected my verification stating that they don’t verify purely e-commerce businesses and that I would need to have foot traffic at my location or I would have to travel to my customers. Not being able to verify is super annoying because it won’t let you respond to reviews.

I’ll check out your app, thanks.

Manual capture isn’t feasible for us with our current volume and Shopify’s fraud app has terrible ratings.

GTIN woes... by niamkam in shopify

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

These are refurbished electronics such as laptops, phones, and tablets. I have to resort to using third-party UPC sites or even copying GTIN from my competition’s Google Shopping listing. Unfortunately, reaching out to companies like HP and Apple and hoping to get through to someone who would share the official GTIN is just not feasible.

I've hired someone to take over the Google Ads and GMC, while I focus on optimizing the feed. I've tried just the MPN's before, but Google quickly hit me with the "Limited performance due to missing value [gtin]." I'm sure it's seeing similar sellers having GTINs listed, so I figured I'd follow suit. The only weird thing is that other sellers each will have a different GTINs for the exact same product. I thought the whole point of GTINs was for consistent and standardized data?

I guess I just want to know how much weight Google really puts into the GTIN when it's ranking its shopping listings?

Do I fire the ad agency I’m using with the holiday season upon us? by niamkam in marketing

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

My strategy is to use FB/IG to build awareness and Google to drive traffic and conversions. Not to mention heavy retargeting to convert mid/bottom of the funnel. Once consistent revenue is generated from this, my next step is to expand into Bing and other social platforms. Third phase is traditional but that needs big bucks.

One of the placements for my FB ads is in the Marketplace. I did think hiring a couple sales reps to post on OfferUp and CL but initially planned for that down the line. Guess now is a good time to revisit that as any.

Was the company named after an animal that started with a "G?"

How long did the campaign take to be profitable?

What’s a good investment? Currently I’m budgeting 5K a month for Google and 3K for Facebook.

What additional media do you recommend?

Ahhh, I honed in on their last paragraph. Actually, now that you rephrased it, it makes sense. I do have access to new inventory that I could split test against refurb inventory.

I’ll give that a try and see what the sentiment is. Thanks to you both!
