Hey everybody!
I cannot explain how much help this forum has been, I'm not that active in it but that's just me. I read a lot of the posts on here and man is that ice cream good.
So here's where I am at currently:
I had a falling out with my partner, I'm not doing business with him anymore and we decided to split and I got sole ownership of the company. I have full creative control and know exactly where I want to go with it. I took down almost all of my other products on my website mainly because were sold out and I don't plan on reordering (no point in keeping it up) or I just didn't feel they matched what I want the brand message to be. I had a few questions I wanted to ask, any and all feedback is so appreciated!
1) I am about to release my hoodies for my latest winter drop. The problem I've always had in the past is people nickel and dime you and I always end up walking away with only a little bit above what I spent and that has to go to my fees for Shopify and then my adobe membership etc etc. I had a good idea and wanted some feedback on it. Selling my hoodies at say $50 and telling people that all family friends this month get $20 off on the new hoodie. And then have a special week where all Snapchat followers get $15 off, insta, Facebook, etc etc. thoughts?
2) I feel that I need to establish myself locally before I spread out to nationally. So one thing we sort of did in the past but not fully was just hit up our friends to model for us and then we send them pics and they post (if they're pretty enough we post too) more brand exposure. But that was for highschool. Im in college now, wayyyy more people. So what I thought would be good would be to hit up random people at my loca university and ask them to model, get them to post, and then ask them to give me a referal to someone else who would also do it. I have a couple girls and guys lined up already, any thoughts on how I can improve this system?
3) I have a ton of people saying i should post on Instagram like 3x a day and keep posting always. I don't want to sound like I know anything, because I don't, but I feel like it gets to a point where people are just generally annoyed with the fact that you're posting too much. I think once every few days is good but if i actually scrolled my feed and any account I was following was posting 3x a day I'd get annoyed. It's not the same thing as YouTube, where you should post as much. Am I wrong? I just think that distance makes the heart grow fonder.
Thank you so much to everyone on this forum. You guys are all so full of useful information. I love you all, and can't even explain how much you guys have helped me grow. Much love!
