    Always a value bomb!! you are really great at execution man. I seriously look up to on how quickly you take decisions and take actions on it without thinking too much. Whether it is a clothing brand, suits, face massager or tea you just try everything out and that the best thing. Wish you all the success and look forward to great videos like this.

    Thanks for the great video with value!
    Quick questions:
    1. Do you switch all the packages manually from the suplier ones to the new ones you've ordered? How do you plan if you restock? I believe you would like the Chinese suppliers do the packing stuff for you.
    2. Would like to see from your comment reply or in a new video, how you're going to deal with the whole process, e.g. VA for customer service, the logistics (sent from your home in UK in the long run?), the marketing stragety etc.

    • @ElliottPrendy
      @ElliottPrendy  2 роки тому +2

      Great questions bro.
      1. Yes but will send custom packaging to supplier to package in large stock
      2. Doing customer service manually ATM, all customers are UK based (because shipping on my site is quite expensive, I think I would have had more sales if it was lower) so sending packages out myself using a site called Parcel2go (will make a video on packaging and shipping orders). Marketing strategy will be to continue with organic content and then use the data to run ads

Over the past two months, I haven't been able to sell a single item, and I'm not sure where I went wrong.

    • @ElliottPrendy
      @ElliottPrendy  Рік тому

      Well it's a tea brand. Tea doesn't have a large mark up hence why you need to focus on growing monthly recurring revenue. Many products have much higher profit margins but people won't purchase them on subscription. Subscription products are all about life time value of the customer

    • @jaceysimpson

      I would mostly recommend WordPress since it has a lot of different plug-ins that would make your life a lot easier. Plus, that software is a self-hosted platform so you have full control over your website and analytics. I would also suggest having someone edit your e-commerce website for you. It just takes a lot of work off your hands and ensures that your website is engaging and responsive.
