    How does Buy With Prime affect DTC owners?

    INTRO

And Buy with prime can help DTC owners well, even if they need to use Amazon's FBA service as a result.

    Premium products from alibaba?

    The actual price of any discount in China is based on volume. Alibaba's factories all have a very high premium. If you want to get something really cheap. For example, if you want to import clothes, you have to go to Guangzhou or Yiwu. Instead of looking for seemingly cheap "suppliers" on...

    Some questions about a potential suit business...

    QUESTION 
    I think the suits are just lost to the people who would have been forced to wear them. They tend to go shopping for $100 or so cheaper. Elegance never goes out of style.

    Some questions about a potential suit business...

    QUESTION 
    It's a good idea, and we've thought about doing it on LinkedIn. But we want to go ahead and mention the deodorizing and germicidal effect of the suit through video in the early stages. Maybe influencers would be a better choice？ Anyway, thanks for the reply. :)

    Some questions about a potential suit business...

    QUESTION 
    Thank you for the suggestion, it reminds us. Regarding the style we are not doing very serious, vintage suits. It will be a little more casual. We have a great designer and I'm sure he can solve the problem. My hesitation is whether we should lower the quality of the fabric to lower the price.

    QUESTION 
    Unfortunately, the coating dissolves in water. Is resistant to rain but definitely not to drum washing machines. So it is only suitable for dry cleaning clothes. We will use it in other industry, but for me I want to focus on here first.

    Some questions about a potential suit business...

    QUESTION 
    I agree that this is a declining industry. But as I said, my client base experience is very niche. There will still be a segment of the population, or people in certain professions, who need them. Due to the high cost this is hardly a $100 suit sold in Amazon. We can't make and sell thousands...

    Some questions about a potential suit business...

    QUESTION 
    I set up an e-commerce site for custom suits. It took six months to build my relationships with suppliers.

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Agree. But everyone's definition of danger is different. For example, the average person thinks rock climbing is a high-risk sport. But professional athletes feel it is an everyday operation. For us, out of our comfort zone will be the best interpretation of "no more fear".
