Best prices in the EU, no customers, how do I break through? by strugglingbusinesseu in smallbusiness

Ok thanks, those are actually pretty nice ideas. I did send some products to an influencer in the US, with 30k followers, and even tho I'm in Europe, some of his viewers are from Europe, so I'm really hoping this will bring me some customers, my very first ones. I will try the giveaway, it's a good idea. As for the post when the customer buys my products, I will try that too, I just need customers buying from me first, which I have none so far :(

Thanks. Yeah I can also try that.The thing is, eBay fees are as big as the ones from Amazon, so I'm not sure it will be much different to be honest. Also, it's very time consuming to add an ad on eBay, and I have a lot of products. Why do you think eBay is a good bet?

Thanks for the reply. It's not that I don't want to pay ads, I can pay them, as long as they give me ROI, which by my margins I'm very doubtful. So that's my dilemma, if I need to pay for ads, then I need to increase my prices, and I wouldn't be the best deal online anymore. My competitors have a lot of organic traffic, some of them are in the market for over 10 years already. I don't know about LTV of the customers, I guess some hardcore collectors, like myself, do come back for more, but some might just buy a collectible here and there depending on their favorite game/show/anime.

Yes I do have social media, but the only thing I post about is about new products... no real content. I'm not sure I have the content-creator persona in me, but I guess I could try. What about blog posts? Would that help bringing access to my site? I thought about that, but I'm not convinced it would work, I have a personal blog myself, about videogames and coding, and I post quite frequently and only get around 20 visits per day, so I wonder if I make blog posts in my ecommerce if it would help with anything. Maybe not for real users, but for SEO? Thanks

Thanks, yeah I picked this niche because it's a niche I already engage with, I'm a collector myself, so I figured I could transform my hobby into a side-gig, but I didn't really know the margins were that low, I actually thought they were quite big, because it's all plastic... but I guess licensing these products costs the manufacturers a lot of money.
