Started New E-Commerce Company Looking For Advice

[Lee_S]

Hi,

After a while testing and sourcing products, in order to find some professional high quality product (which was more difficult than I thought considering such a basic item), I am finally up and running with my new project, which I am looking to dedicate all of my time to and would be great if people on the forum could give me some pointers and help.

My company is a cosmetics company, however for now we are only selling makeup brushes until we can expand. The price point is mid-high in comparison to my competitors, however I want to push my USP's, rather than compete on price. Also, I am only selling in the UK for now, but this will change soon.

I am happy to share my site via message for anyone who would be willing to help give my some pointers and things to change. Just don't want to post it too out in the open.

As for my selling points, with every sale we plant tree's to help the environment and also help local communities, this is something that me and my partner actually believe in and although competitors are eco-friendly, nobody does this sort of thing and we believe it can help the world and help ourselves (win win), this is similar to what TOMs do. Also, we offer a 3 year guarantee on all of our makeup brushes, which no other brand does and from market research this is something that are target market are extremely interested in.

My issue is that I am not savvy in online marketing, although I am willing to put the hours in to learn. I was wondering if any one on the forum would help me out a little and shed some light on marketing a startup and building a community. I know it's all in the process and I know that this will be a success, but I do need all the help I can get and would be forever thankful for those who can help.

My marketing budget isn't massive, however I do have one and it's around $800 or £500. I look forward to hearing any ideas that you all have and if you want more info about my company just message me.

Cheers.
