I know China is the gold standard of manufacturing …but I really don’t wanna work with China. I want to work with any country but china. Has anyone worked with any other countries that are comparable and even preferable to working with Chinese manufacturing regarding costs, quality and communication? Im thinking of Mexico, Philippines , Vietnam? I live in the US. submitted by /u/NurseMilou [link] [comments]

Hi I am the owner of a new e-commerce store called Muskoka Linens (Not drop shipping). I sell queen size 100% linen sheet sets, they are of top quality and cost around 100 CAD to make plus an additional 20 CAD to ship. I have been running google shopping and performance max ads for 25 days spending around 25$ CAD each day. In total I have spent around 800$ on ads yet I have made no conversions at all. My pricing is very competive as linen sheet sets sell for 225-300+ CAD as they cost a hefty amount to make. I started with my pricing on the lower end at 215$ and have dropped prices weekly to a price of now 167$ and I still can’t make a single sale. I have 75 linen sheet sets at my house with an inventory of around 8000$ yet I have nothing to do with them and running ads is hopeless. Please give me advice on how I can try to not lose all the money I spent on material and at least almost break even. My website is muskokalinens.com. Thank You for your help. submitted by /u/Yeti284 [link] [comments]

I started a brand with my brother earlier this year (first drop was April) and have been really struggling to get sales from strangers. Our USP is that we donate money to dynamic causes chosen by the community and put our brand logo into our designs in a unique way no one else is doing. Our focuses are climate change and LGBTQIA+ rights currently. I’ve gotten feedback on the brand and website from others and people love it (or I’m just being lied to lol). Our ads get clicks, not optimal CPC, but we have a very high bounce rate. Not sure how to really build that trust factor with a stranger. Just wanted to know how long it took some of you to get consistent stranger sales? submitted by /u/milkshakemammoth [link] [comments]

When a customer you do t know asks to pay via wire do you feel comfortable sending them your bank account and routing numbers? I am not comfortable with that but wanted to get some opinions and/or how you handle these situations. The transaction would be over $5k at minimum.

So, currently I'm not living in the usa (used to live there), but for my product it would make send to just send it there and distribute it from there. ​ Before I used to make it myself, but now I'm going to import it from china. ​ Are there any fees for importing the items from china? It's a cheap product so the total cost of all the items would be between 500 to 1000 (depending on quantity). If there are any fees, can I pay them even if I'm not residing in the USA currently? ​ Can I import that and send it directly to a 3PL? ​ Thanks submitted by /u/MortalPhantom [link] [comments]

I'm testing a new product, so after launching the ad campaign, facebook says I got 10 leads but I received 0 orders on my store. It happens, that when you click on "Order now" with wrong data filled for phone number, name, etc... you get an error message on the website but Facebook counts it as a lead. For the sake of analysis, I removed the 3 inputs client should fill to order, and kept only the button "Order now" and I got 3 orders. So, is my conclusion correct ? that users do not know how to order and when they see the error message they just leave the page ? If it's the case, how can I improve my landing page & express checkout form ? ​ PS : I'm targeting a country in Africa where COD is relatively new trend submitted by /u/Iliaskz10 [link] [comments]

Hi, so I am in process completing my website and stuff. I have major queries about custom and freight shipping in US. My products are range of superfood powders and herbal teas. Total 16 SKUs. They all are sourced by me personally from farmers in India and will be packaged in my rented warehouse. Total gross weight for 100 products for each SKU would be 160kg after adding dimensional weight the air freight would be very high for me to afford it so I would be shipping via ocean-freight to 3PL warehouse. Now I have doubts regarding custom clearance scene in USA- do I need custom broker, if yes then what is the cheapest one, do I need FDA certificate or any phytosanitary certificate or any other such thing. What would be the best way to ship products from port to warehouse of 3 PL. ​ If anyone has experience in handling or doing such works or has gone through similar things. Please help, I have tried google but no help and custom brokers for consultation are asking 250 USD which I cannot afford. submitted by /u/Commercial_Sock_6845 [link] [comments]

I have an idea for a candy product that I want to get on shelves and sell online. I'm just testing recipes at home right now but what do I do after I've found the right one? How do I design and manufacture the packaging, with the nutrition label and all? How do I find a manufacturer to mass produce the product itself? How do I get it to pass the health inspection and sell it online? How do I get it on shelves in major grocery stores? Any advice is appreciated! submitted by /u/theformalhels [link] [comments]

i’ve started planning for an online store to try and get employees to buy some nice and nifty branded gear and am considering shopify since i’ve seen that it’s pretty user friendly for the most part. i don’t have a lot of time to invest in learning or managing a site like this and would appreciate any tips or advice for streamlining a process for claiming a discount code for free swag for employee appreciation type events. this is my first time starting something like this so any and all help is much appreciated! submitted by /u/macchiatomood [link] [comments]

I'm curious to see how other site owners / managers are implementing it. If you don't mind sharing your e-commerce sites that have it live, I'd appreciate it. Also curious to hear what you think about it so far. Pros / cons / limitations. I asked this question about 8 months ago on this sub, but no bites. Maybe more store owners have adopted it since then. submitted by /u/adventurepaul [link] [comments]
