Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!Although I strongly believe no one deserves anything, I appreciate the kind words! I thought that US manufacturing would significantly bump up my prices. However, I was able to add more value to the product ( more add-ons for free) and make the product domestically while only raising my prices...- PTP

Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!Update: I'm about to break my all time sales high for a single month with 5 days left in June so things are definitely chugging along! I've been out of stock of 2 of my main sellers for the past week or so (I still allow back orders). Those will get restocked this week but I'm about to run...- PTP

GOLD!I am selling on shopify but I don't give anyone a discount. Personally, I don't believe much in discounts and I think it hurts the brand in the long term.- PTP

Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!Promising Update: So sales have definitely picked up to around past levels. I still only have 2/3 product variations available and 2 of my best sellers are out of stock which is a promising sign! From past trends of my old products, whenever there were 3 variations available, overall sales...- PTP

Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!Yeah I think you're right... Although lucky for me organic was not a large part of my overall traffic yet... The bright side is that when I launched my American made products, I changed the name of my brand slightly. I wanted there to be a clean break between when I had Chinese products and...- PTP

GOLD!Update: Been reaching out to a lot of Instagram influencers and YouTubers. So far, a channel with 30,000 followers and one with 60,000 followers have agreed to make videos reviewing my products. Obviously I don't expect their entire subscriber count to view my video, but even 10% would be...- PTP

Logistics Pre-Order!
@MakeMoreMoves I didn't have any issues at all taking pre-orders. Although I did have 1 or 2 people ask me why their item hadn't shipped yet. I used this app on shopify. On top of that I added in bold red letters at the bottom that the item was on pre-order and the time frame it would be...- PTP

GOLD!I appreciate it buddy! :fistbump: For the time being, yes.... but that is subject to change lol The only reason I am going right now is to see what it has to offer.

Escape the Borg! - My Journey to Freedom, Ecommerce
GOLD!Thank you @Cembo! Although, to be honest I can't say I have accomplished very much. There is still a long way to go before I have done anything that can be considered remotely noteworthy. I definitely have thought about it. However, I first need someone who can create steady content and grow...- PTP

GOLD!A more positive Update: Began taking pre-orders for my new product launch. The only incentive I offered was that those who pre-ordered would have their order shipped to them before the release date. I sent out an email to my 35+ person list of people who wanted to be notified and..... 2...- PTP

GOLD!Long Update Ahead - The Bad And The Good. There's no way around it. Sales this month suck. Its my lowest month in a long time and super disheartening. Literally looking at my stats I had a .47% purchase rate today and a 1% purchase rate yesterday. Pitiful. Looking at my analytics sales were...- PTP

GOLD!Update: Launched new product and subsequently removed all my old products despite the fact that many of them had over 60+ reviews - mostly 5 star. Changed website URL for new branding. Effects of these changes: Lost nearly all search rankings in google. Organic traffic is nearly non...- PTP

GOLD!A template is a good way to put it. Basically they sent me a featureless design that we could use as a canvas. Then I got my brother who knows a little about CAD design to add extra features for added functionality as well as some aesthetic improvements to make it uniquely ours. We had designs...- PTP
