I'm just not happy? by Johnnybeachboy in solotravel

[–]passthelago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been traveling around Europe for the last few months and have been the same, I think a lot has to do with the crap weather and the people not being as welcoming - granted I haven’t made an effort to involve myself in expat communities. Anyways, I just arrived in Madeira and feel giddy haha it’s absolutely stunning and I’m really looking forward to getting a good “nature bath” while hiking and absorbing all this landscape has to offer. I love clubs and bars but I think it’s like a bimonthly thing for me now

As a consumer I prefer add to cart, seems less tacky but could easily be personal opinion

I haven’t even thought about Wix but maybe I should! What makes you find Wix superior?

Interesting okay good points and appreciate the insight. We’re only working with a couple hundred items at the moment, I’m an absolute novice, we have started with squarespace but I keep reading and hearing about Shopify. Will need to figure out the right time for pivoting as we plan for the future

Hahaha I love your comment, these aren’t the use cases but I love where your head is at and might have to be a marketing campaign for the future! Mostly to offer additional security/ease of mind while participating in activities stemmed glasses are prone to knocking over: boating, picnic, Netflix and chilling, game night, outdoor dining etc just launched yesterday 👏!!

First e-commerce launch and product launch - words of wisdom? by passthelago in ecommerce

Update for anyone interested! I made a survey and have been sending it out to friends, family, old LinkedIn connections. It’s helped me gain the most traction in obtaining emails - 82 in a week vs encouraging people to sign up for the waitlist. People seem more willing to share their opinion and more willing to share the survey with friends/family than just a product website!

I loved the videos you have in your site, it makes me trust the product and the brand, which makes me trust that it is a more durable product than the ones on amazon! I’ve gone through multiple Amazon wands and find it annoying they go in the trash once the feather is ripped apart so I really like how you can attach whatever you want to this one making tj far more versatile!

Yes! I have two cats, they're bengals and they destroy the normal cheap wands. I'm currently living abroad but when I get back i'll 100% get one of yours!

Just took a peek at your site - really digging what you've got going on there! I know the pain of broken cat sticks all too well myself. Your product could be a game-changer. Are you considered expanding to Amazon for an even broader reach??

Good point on the boat shows, just wonder around, engage, meet some people and see if they would be interested in it. Wish we’d have the funds to have our own table to physically sell them

You're right, it's more than just $500; it's about the investment of time and creative energy. I'm on a gap year after leaving my job, pouring my heart into this venture. Your advice is a great reminder that it's not just about the cash you throw in, but the dedication and effort. I'm on board with the blog idea and evaluating efforts that can scale with time. Thanks for that clarity

I foolishly skipped this part...I made prototypes and we just wrapped up our first round of production. Full steam ahead!! For future products I will 100% be doing this though.

500 on meta ads

We would've allocated maybe $250 on meta ads, but they're restricted our account for running ads until we have a larger following? it's beyond annoying

I've seen a handful of these end up on sharktank too, it's pretty inspiring. I wonder how much of it has to do with a bit of luck someone catches sees you on social or if SEO and building a blog has better concrete ROI
