Are you selling clothes with embroidery ? If yes , have you had any problem with it ?
Thanks !

That thing cost a lot to be made here in France!
(I'm also trying to build a brand but my supplier don't answer to my call, he don't want my money )

No emb. on my clothes, but my baseball cap graphics are embroidered on.

I'm sorry to hear about your supplier, money is definitely an issue when starting a business!

It's definitly not the money the problem, it is that he don't answer to my call ! that's why i say that, i'm very interested by what he's doing but if he don't answer to my call, he will lose a client..

Then who wants to do business with someone like that? You're better off, that sounds stressful. There's a million more places to source from

Ok, i will contact him if he got them for me.

Thanks

 

[I Am I Said]

Just keep learning from other stores that are getting sales

Exactly.

I know nothing about selling clothes, but I do know somebody doing well in that space, making a living after only a short time. If you google "Zinora" you'll find his brand and should be able to see what he does on facebook, twitter, Amazon and wherever else he's marketing. I have no affiliation with his business, by the way, he's just an acquaintance!

My defunct brain finally remembered what I wanted to say several days ago...

Maybe it's just because I/we know what you're trying to accomplish with it, but the "just sold" pop-up on the bottom left is aggravating. But hopefully it will work with the people who think that you're actually selling that many items so fast.

That being said... I DO like your site, as well as your products, and hope you kill it!

LOL I know I hate it too, looks cheesy and I wouldn't believe it. But I know a lot of people do, so I am testing it for now!

Are you sure people believe it? How many visitors have you had versus sales? Maybe something to check into...

I haven't gotten enough visitors yet, my traffic is pretty low. I have gotten sales with and without it.

A lot of my competitor stores have it installed. So I don't know, I'll leave it for a bit.

Maybe that's why I have an issue with it. Been seeing it for a while now and it's always on sites with no traffic or sales, and I know it's a lie! lol

But we, as consumers, do need some sort of social proof... I hope it works for you. Get to work on that traffic!

 

[Laughingman21]

Are there any A:B testing apps you can use to see if the Just Sold pop up works?

I'm not sure how to do that. I didn't know they made apps for that, thats a cool idea though!

 

[ALC]

Little update ?
How things are going since the launch ?

 

[AlwaysWright]

Your website looks really good. I didn't even realize that print on demand was a thing but that sounds like a great option over keeping an inventory on hand and trying to find storage for it all. How has your progress been?

Hey guys, little update –

I have been pretty busy at work so I haven't been working on it as much as I should be. I have been averaging one sale a week, which is ok I guess, and my traffic is pretty abysmal. I did completely stop Facebook ads as I felt like it wasn't right for my store. I may go back to it in the future, when I get enough traffic for my Facebook pixel to work.

I have just really been focusing on growing my social media. I am trying to get my Facebook and Instagram followers and engagement up. Right now I'm at almost 1400 Instagram followers and 6000 Facebook followers. My goal is to get 3000 Instagram followers and 200 likes or so per post by Christmas. I am also in the process of adding many more collections such as Christmas shirts, workout shirts, etc..

I get a lot of instagram direct messages and emails from fans of my brand wanting to model, design or be an affiliate. So this weekend, I am going to come up with an affiliate program, and hopefully then I will start to get enough traffic for conversions.

I'm excited to get to working on it more, especially since black friday and the holiday season is coming up! I will continue to update my journey probably every month or two. Thanks for reading!! <3

How many likes do you currently get, per post, with 1400 followers?

I was average like 150 a post and now my engagement went way down. Now I am at like 50 likes a post. But I did not change anything, so I don't know if thats one of those algorithm things.

 

[Striver]

Ugghhh, that sucks! Are you pretty active on it? Posting new designs often, or whatever you'd need to do in your case...
