Ecommerce strategies.

I intend to enter the Ecommerce space, and I was wondering what strategies could be applied when it comes to the logistics of delivering end products to customers who buy products through the business website.

(Crosspost) Looking for ideas/suggestions for my (now) struggling business

Throwaway account.

I own an office/school supply company. No retail, strictly B2B and B2School. We sell 50K items ranging from office furniture to toners to cleaning supplies and traditional office supplies. We deliver (mostly) using our own vehicles and drivers and are in a major metropolitan city. Many decades of business with multiple generations of family ownership.

With virtually all businesses closed (and every school closed), sales suck. Schools make up 50-60% of our business. We haven’t been able to convince at-home workers to order from us for home delivery. Amazon is taking most of that business, no doubt. While we’re used to averaging $300 an order, I’m perfectly fine that it would likely be $50 or less for home users.

We can’t sell some cleaning supplies right now like Clorox wipes or disinfectants because all suppliers are out nationwide. I have locally sourced hand sanitizer which has helped sales from being non-existent but it’s still not enough. I can get N95 and KN95 when ordered in bulk (~500) but haven’t found takers. Except a few municipalities.

And we’ve applied for all the loans but are still waiting. PPP should hit (we’re told) in the next week.

What would you do? We were awarded a large contact for a few school districts just before this all hit (it wasn’t set to activate until August anyway). So things are promising if I can make it to when schools open back up.

Appreciate any suggestions. Would really like a fresh perspective.

Note: We can do B2C biz and have gotten tons of orders from all across the country but all anybody wants is the cleaning supplies that aren’t available.

received my first online order and it was marked as a gift, anything special I should include in the shipment?

I started my own private labeling business as a side project to learn how international business and ecommerce worked. I'm going into the field of marketing so this was a perfect way to gain skills across the board.

I've been running the internal etsy ads and just recently got my first sale! woohoo! so the item is a jewelry piece that the customer marked as a gift. anything special I should include? wrap the item / include a note?

Despite all the hard work, I am not getting recognized for it.

Are you an entrepreneur struggling with a lack of confidence when it comes to speaking in front of people?

Despite all the hard work, you’re still not getting recognized for it.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to get recognized for your work.

Getting recognize = getting more opportunities.

More opportunity = more growth in your career.

More growth in your career = more satisfaction and money as well.

Confidence is a skill you can learn.

When I started, I would get nervous and self-conscious while speaking in front of people.

I was always afraid of being judged by other people.

I was afraid of making mistakes.

But I remember how taking initiatives and working on my confidence led me to host and speak at the biggest and best event of my life.

In the second year of college, I started taking small steps; I would work on my confidence one step at a time.

Learning from mentors and doing a lot of practical exercises helped me to build my confidence.

Then I started giving presentations and taking part in group discussions.

I started getting more and more attention because I would always take the initiative and go first for speaking.

Teachers liked my confidence and started inviting me in different group discussions.

Then one day my friend, who is in politics was organising an event for establishing statue of a leader, opening a new gym and a lot of different work/announcements.

A lot of business people, politicians and local people were going to be there.

He asked me if I would like to host their event. I said “yes”, right away.

I didn’t have any experience of speaking in front of a large crowd before that, but I still did it.

And that decision leads me to a lot of new opportunities.

I started speaking at more and more events.

And it was amazing to see how my network started to grow and as well as business.

Have you also experienced this, that you don't get recognized for your work just because you lack little confidence and that's why you don't present yourself in front of people?

Shopify Question: Can you track ad performance against checkout confirmation?

We are looking to build our new e-commerce site on Shopify, but have been alerted that Shopify doesn't allow us to track orders with advertising conversion tags on their checkout page.

We work with an ad partner and affiliate network and it would be imperative to place their conversion tracking script on the order confirmation, so they can see how well their ads are performing and optimize.

Is this true? My team is dead set on Shopify, but I need to steer them in another direction if it is going to thwart marketing efforts.

How to promote clothing line

I've released two collections and done one pop-up store at a local concert for my clothing line Liberati... https://liberati.store/. I haven't done much advertising though... I made an instagram @liberati.store and have a few posts on there. I also tried out google ads with no success. Looking for some tips on how to market/advertise and get some traffic to my site.

Has anyone had any luck (good or bad) with Mike Cheney's 7 Figure Franchise?

Tom Woods has endorsed it which seems promising, but I can't find any information about it anywhere else about it. All of the negative reviews seem to be pushing something else, and the positive ones do not go in depth at all.

I can't come up with a new idea, and I am extremely depressed.

A few months stepped away from my previous day to day company, which I founded in 2016. It's growing well with a few hundred thousand users, but it didn't make sense for me to continue being paid as an employee during the downturn - predicting the downturn I was looking for ways to reduce operational costs and to stop being paid as an employee was a great way to keep as many awesome employees as I could. I was well-positioned to drop back to simply board responsibilities, they need my brain, not my time.

Anywho.

Initially, I was excited - new chances to explore new domains. I have a lot of niche technical skills, as a mathematician and a software engineer, so I felt like I had a lot of chances to do cool things. However, I am stumped, I have this feeling like I don't have sufficient day to day problems or domain knowledge to come up with a new idea. Working on things is what makes me happy, and not being able to figure out direction - is plummeting me in a really unhealthy mental health situation. Last night I was sitting at my laptop, staring at a notebook - stupidly thinking about suicide, it passed quickly and I don't think I'd ever do something awful like that.

I'm bored, uninspired and have no idea how to get out of this slump.

Something is wrong

Have you guys noticed that : eating out is very difficult and expensive.

in an area, typically,

You might find an outlet selling pizza, you might sometimes find a restaurant in which meals are quite expensive, and that's it.

Here you barely have : very few foods, and they are expensive

You can eat almost nothing,

Eating out is nearly impossible

Do you guys see ?

This model is very inefficient

Something important is missing

it is : a restaurant where food keeps changing, food changes every day

Chefs also rotate

A meal is going to be cheap

You get new foods every day. After a period of time : you will have eaten thousands of foods

Eating out will finally become possible

Do you see the difference now ?

This model is way better
