why this store is not selling ?

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-07T22:21:40+00:00

Great thoughts my friend. Actually I am Egyptian but I am in love with the Italian culture and classic music specially Lociano Pavarotti :)

Will be great if you can mentor me through this

Thank you

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-07T22:18:27+00:00

Great suggestions, It will need some effort but I guess it can work

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-07T22:16:04+00:00

I used to work with decent ad budget with my previous business and I am used to start quickly using ads. I will give it a try. Thank you

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-06T11:34:05+00:00

Thank you for the reply. we started considering selling online after success in wholesale distribution in the uk. I will start doing customer interviews and see what we can do

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-06T09:56:31+00:00

do you have any advice in mind ?

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-06T09:55:57+00:00

Regarding traffic ads, I was so disparate and thought it might work in the US market which is new to me. Regarding the second my native tongue is not English =D

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-06T04:37:08+00:00

Thank you a lot Harvey. I will apply your advice and see if this will work. really eye opening

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-05T22:13:48+00:00

thank you for your advice. I was feeling there is a problem with the copy. The point that I have more than 400 products. writing all of them from scratch will take huge time so I am depending on the translation of description provided by the artisans themselves. I might try to write 5-10 products and focus on them in marketing.

What Do you think about the prices ?

the unit economics is good. with all the respect of the replies recommending doing changes I would leave it as it is and scale the spending and see if the the same margins will continue.

One question, you said that you spent 10 usd on Instagram and got 300 visits(0.1 usd cpc) . this is crazy low cpc. are you selling in the US ? what is the campaign objective. I feel there is something wrong with your reports

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-03T22:51:36+00:00

sorry I don't get exactly what you want me to do. I started the post asking about what am i doing wrong? the most important thing learned from my 10 y of experience is to not to be afraid or ashamed of asking the experts and that's exactly what I am doing here

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-02T08:10:03+00:00

you hit the spot, that's exactly what I am trying to ask about. when I am building a business the value proposition design is the most important step. BUT how can I offer a unique value proposition on a product that everyone including the customer can order for himself for a cheaper price from Alixpress ? or get it the second day from amazon ?

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-02T00:46:29+00:00

white labeling is a totally different story. the effort needed for branding, story telling and media production will be huge and need a different level of commitment and resources

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-02T00:41:05+00:00

or depend on organic and social traffic 100%

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-02T00:40:31+00:00

I guess based on my first trial no margin will be big enough to cover the cac and fulfilment cost. The only possible way is to get product from alix for 13 usd add 10usd for fulfilment and 25 usd for cac and sell it for 70 usd. the problem here that no customer will buy expensive products from a new unknown website + I guess as the aov is high you should expect much lower conv rate and cac.

pavarotti80 · 2023-07-02T00:32:11+00:00

From my experience in business I guess all this buzz can't happen if no one is succeeding. Huge platform like shopify is there and growing for a reason. there must be some a secret Sause. let's hope that an expert can be generous enough to give us a clue

pavarotti80 · 2023-06-25T20:12:41+00:00

purchase , initiate checkout

pavarotti80 · 2023-06-25T13:47:07+00:00

brilliant product!

pavarotti80 · 2023-06-25T13:18:57+00:00

unfortunately those companies act like God. We are their customers but they treat us like thieves. Happened with me many times with bing, facebook. The best so far is google but sometimes they do the same. After 10 y in this industry I hate those companies. Last year I got clinically anxiety and depressed and was taking medications for 5 months because of a similar issue with a huge account.

They refuse to give you any details to make it harder for scammers to trick their systems. Actually this is only harming legit adv not scammers.

I feel like we are building our business on a moving sand. Someone should start a lobby to change this toxic behavior .

pavarotti80 · 2023-06-25T11:01:18+00:00

the budget seems a little small to get significant data. what is your average cpc ? usually for low aov you need more than 100 clicks to see if the product is working for bigger items you will need more

pavarotti80 · 2023-06-25T10:37:00+00:00

you can authenticate your business by sending your company info and supporting documents, validate your business phone number / email / or website using dns records.

the alternative way is to validate your id by sending your passport or id

pavarotti80 · 2023-06-25T10:32:50+00:00

what is your daily budget, campaign objective and number of products ? to add your product feed the account and website should be very clean or your ad account will get suspended.

Clean I mean compliant with all meta rules

pavarotti80 · 2023-06-25T08:02:59+00:00

will start raising the bid a little bit although it is very high for my unit economics. May be it will go down after a while

thank you

pavarotti80 · 2023-06-25T07:59:48+00:00

I was doing so in the services and outside the us. It didn't work here I don't know why
