    How important is a brand story?

    Thanks for your reply. I have a logo. I was thinking more about writing content as to why the brand came about and reasons as to why they should buy more products when they cost twice as much as most competitors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How important is a brand story?

    I’m in the process of adding content to my new website whilst waiting for our products to finish production. My products will be sold at a premium price compared to others; how important is creating a brand story, how personal should be it and is it imperative I add content as to why my...

    It's do or die time

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. And your advice did help. I'm lucky to live by the coast and have some nice walks which i do at least once a week. I also run at least 3-4 times a week (albeit on a running machine in my garage). I find exercise helps. I've just listed my current company...

    It's do or die time

    It's nothing to do with the website. I'm stressed because of the overall situation. The website side of things is fine. It's ready to launch once the products are finished and shipped to fulfillment centre.

    It's do or die time

    I'll try and keep this as short as possible. Anyway here goes... Due to some poor decisions on my part my old company went into liquidation in December 2018 after 15 years trading. I had UK tax liability, Overdrawn Directors loan account of £103,000, UK VAT due and also two personal guarantees...

    Site looks great. And storybook has some excellent pictures. I stumbled on this thread by accident and believe it or not i'm in direct competition to you. Although our products are sand free microfiber ones. Good luck.

    Which brand name from these two choices

    I'm launching a new range of textile products primarily purchased by women. These are going to be sold at premium price compared to others in the same industry. I originally had the brand name "Jayne & Paul" but after deciding to now sell higher quality products at more expensive price i'm...

    Amazon v going alone with Shopify

    Thanks for the advice Kenric. I think the most I’ve seen someone selling this item for on amazon is $24.99. And although a lot of these listings have good reviews my product is higher quality, I just need to convey that in the listing I suppose. And if i list at nearly double price of...

    Amazon v going alone with Shopify

    Thanks for the replies. Funnily enough my competitor who sells only via their website has a retargeting advert in between the replies to my post! I've had some responses elsewhere saying i should both and offer lower price on Amazon and higher on website but i think having a $20-25 sale price...

    Amazon v going alone with Shopify

    I'm currently about to launch a new physical products brand and i'm unsure about which route to go down to market them on. I have identified two main (successful) competitors for my products. One sells on Amazon and via their own shopify website for around $20.00. The other competitor sells...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    **UPDATE** It's been a while since i updated so here's where i'm currently at. Have i started to enjoy the process more now? I suppose the answer is "yes" and "no" really. I've spend a long time since writing that initial post really thinking about how i want my life to be, and what i want to...

    Amazon Possibly Hacked

    Why not shopify Walter? Isn’t that just the same as having your own website? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Competitor concern in a niche

    No i don't want to sell just on Amazon. It has to be a brand that can be built to sell on various platforms, this is the reason why it's taken so long to decide. I don't just want to sell random products on Amazon.

    Competitor concern in a niche

    Yes i'm going to have to go back to the drawing board with this. Absolutely zero point in bringing out a very similar designed product.

    Competitor concern in a niche

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes the objective is to build a brand, and its the lack of 'individual identity' with the design that's preventing me from sending a skype message and ordering my first batch of products.

    Competitor concern in a niche

    At what point would a competitor put you off entering a niche? I've been working on a particular niche for a few months now with samples back and forth but now that the time has come to place an order for products i'm reluctant to pull the trigger. There are a couple of reasons for this...

    Why am I on this earth?

    MINDSET 
    Having researched a couple more ideas that i thought would be something i'd love to do business wise, it turns out i'd like the 'idea' of doing them rather than the actual work involved. They certainly require a 'creative' person and i'm not creative. For now i'm going to forget all about...
