I very recently started an online women’s clothing store on Shopify. I contacted Free People about setting up a wholesale account, and the rep said they require I buy $1000 in product per month. I’m a little worried that’s going to put me in the hole.
Does any small retailer have a wholesale account with Free People? Do you actually sell through the inventory every month?

I’ve worked in marketing for a while. Everything from the Head of Marketing at a large IT firm to most recently running my own marketing agency.
We mostly focus on helping small businesses but we see A LOT of the same issues pop up time and time again.
Here are some simple things you can do to give you a helping hand and put yourself ahead:
First things first, let me tell you the harsh truth. In the world of marketing, nobody really cares about you. It's all about the customers and how you can solve their problems. When crafting your marketing message, position the customer as the hero, and your product or service as a solution to a problem they may be having. People don't want to be told how great your product is; they want to know how it will make their lives better.
2. The Grunt Test
The "Grunt Test"' is a simple yet effective way to see if your website's homepage is communicating your message clearly. The basic idea is that you should be able to show someone your homepage for just 3 seconds, then ask them what your business does. If they can't answer, it's time to rethink your design. Be clear, concise, and make sure your message resonates with your target audience.
3. KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid
You don't want to overwhelm your customers. When it comes to marketing, simplicity is key. Avoid bombarding your audience with walls of text and focus on writing copy that provokes emotional and actionable responses. Don't let your webpages become a Wikipedia lookalike. Create content that drives sales and conversions. Remember: less is often more.
4. Paid ads - beware throwing money into the wind
Different platforms can have massive variations in cost and results. For example, right now Google Ads can be pricey and is in my opinion a waste of money for small businesses. Unless you can throw in 5k a month and go toe-to-toe with bigger competitors, don't waste your time. platforms like TikTok on the other hand currently offer inexpensive advertising with fantastic ROI. Of course, this will probably change in the next few years as it always does.
5. The "Guarantee" lie - if it's too good to be true, it probably is
Finally, a word of caution. Be wary of any marketing agency that "guarantees" results. Those who make such claims either don't understand how marketing works or are simply trying to get into your wallet. I've had multiple clients come to me who have been burned in the past by such claims. Please be careful out there people.
I've been working in social media for a long period. And recently with all the new changes happening with social. I would like to share my key insights:
Don't work with influencers based on the numbers. Influencers are not media outlets with guarantied exposures. Don't value them based on numbers, value them based on how verbal and social they are with followers.
Best advice understand the level of their audience by analyzing the comments section.
You fail by mixing them up. Your managers job is to be more social with the potential buyers & existing audience. Your strategists job is to share their vision on how to use social media as a marketing channel.
or you should teach your social media manager pretty well about your OKRs & Buyer personas.
Every social media company is telling you that communities are future. They frankly aren't based on what I see. I have studied community channels of small businesses, tech companies like Adobe, etc.
many are dead now & few are hardly active. The problem is dictatorship like strategy where company shares their own content & ideas. and that limits the topic of discussions. communities don't work like that, you as the founder want the profit. But communities grow if you listen & respond, not by commands.
Online communities on WhatsApp, Discord or Slack will be key to great brand presence. When you build a better space for discussion.
With twitter revealing that likes make most impact on organic reach. The same framework is used for other social media platforms.
That's why Brands use 80:20 rule is the best for social media content strategy. 80% of the time you should create for people with an intent to increase brand engagement. 20% of the time you should create for algorithms to tap into new audience. This is achievable through broad content like industry trends, Meme content & broad content.
I see more and more brands making decisions based on the goals of achieving X numbers on social media. Social media is not about that, the essential goal of social media marketing is
Personalization of the average customer experience. And always setting long term goals with your social media strategy. Social Media done right helps you do marketing with people, not marketing to people.
Build your potential community members that spread the word about your business.
Sick of seeing coaches yell at me to post 365 days. That's for creators that haven't figured out their product market & brand purpose.
As a business, your goal should be tracking what type of queries are being searched on social media. And when they're relevant to your business. Build a distribution strategy to spread your existing content in those spaces. For Social, always create sustainable content that is shareable for many queries.
Then use distribution strategy + Social listening to always be there for your buyers.
Editorial content on social media to help audiences through valuable input is changing. Because most of the editorial content is too basic & one google search away. And now with ChatGPT that type of content might not help you to differentiate your brand from others.
That's why editorial content is getting more personal and successful brands are sharing. "how I" & "Why I" content instead of "How-to" showing an element of real-time experience & knowledge. To make sure the audience finds the content more authentic & relevant.
P.S. I’m sharing a review of what changed in social media & marketing in past 3 months. You can subscribe here to receive it.

Hi everyone,
My name is Elena, and I’m the creator of FIRE OS.
I’ll be honest with you: I’ve been active on reddit for over 6 years and and this is my first promotional post here. So I’m a bit nervous and have no clue what to expect.
But I’ve been passionate about the FIRE movement for quite some time now and I want to share with you a tool that I made to help people achieve their financial independence and early retirement goals better, and faster.
So my goal is to help people get more organized, efficient, and motivated with their finances. And to showcase something that I'm proud of :).
So, what is FIRE OS?
FIRE OS is a complete Notion dashboard for planning, tracking, and managing your FIRE journey.
Like countless other products, this dashboard was born out of sheer necessity: I needed a complete system to meticulously plan, log, and track my FIRE journey. Since I love Notion and its potential, I used it to create one myself.
My vision for this template was to build it on the core principles of the Financial Independence /Retire Early movement. As a result, FIRE OS allows you to take control of your finances and, simply put, to spend less, save more, and invest better.
The template is not free, but it is worth every penny. It costs $39, which is a one-time payment for lifetime access and updates. That’s less than a dollar per week for a year.
Why should you pay for it when there are countless other finance trackers out there, some of them completely free? Because this is not just a generic . This is a comprehensive, powerful, and intuitive tool that will help you take control of your finances and achieve your FIRE dreams.
What’s included:
Income tracking. Log your income from various sources, such as salary, dividends, interest, etc. View your income trends over time and see how they compare to your expenses.
Expense tracking. FIRE OS helps you track your expenses in detail, with in-built labels for 49 different types and 12 main categories such as housing, transportation, entertainment, etc. Keep an eye on your spending habits and identify areas where you can save more.
Budget tracking. Set a budget for each expense type and monitor your progress throughout the month. Check how much you have left to spend in each category, then adjust your spending accordingly.
Savings and investments tracking. FIRE OS enables you to track your savings and investments with real-time price updates on stocks, commodities and crypto via a simple integration. Watch your net worth change over time and reflect your FIRE strategy.
Savings goal tracking. Stay motivated by setting savings goals for specific accounts and purposes, such as HYSA, Roth IRA or buying a house, traveling the world, and/or retiring early. See how much you need to save each month to reach your goals and how close you are to achieving them.
Debt payoff tracking. FIRE OS enables you to track your debt balances and payments for various types of debt, such as credit cards, student loans, mortgages, etc. View your debt payoff progress over time as well as how much interest you are saving by paying off your debt faster.
Yearly reports. Generate yearly reports that summarize your financial performance for each year. You can see your net income, expenses, savings and investments for each year and compare them to previous years.
A directory of the best FIRE calculators. FIRE OS comes with a database of the most reputable FIRE calculators that can help you estimate how long it will take you to reach FIRE based on your current financial situation and assumptions.
A custom Google Sheets FIRE simulator. The dashboard includes a custom Google Sheets FIRE simulator that allows you to play with different scenarios and see how they affect your FIRE journey. You can save it to your own drive and edit variables such as income growth rate, inflation rate, withdrawal rate, etc. to see how they impact your FIRE date and portfolio size.
A section with resources for achieving FIRE. FIRE OS comes with 40+ resources, such as a basic outline of FIRE steps, how to calculate your FIRE number, how to recalibrate your financial thermostat, how to create a FIRE plan, a FIRE plan template, FIRE books, communities etc.
It's a complex dashboard that's intuitive to use and easy to automate.
If the template is not free, why should I buy it?
I get it, paying for a Notion template might seem like a whim rather than a necessity. But in this case, it’s not. FIRE OS will save you hours of time and hassle that you would otherwise spend on creating your own spreadsheets or using multiple apps to track your finances.
This dashboard will also help you stay focused and motivated on your FIRE journey by giving you clear feedback on your progress and goals. You will be able to see how every dollar you earn or spend affects your FIRE date and portfolio size.
Besides helping you track and manage your finances, it will educate you on the basics of FIRE and provide you with valuable resources to improve your financial literacy.
IMO, this template is not just a tool, it’s an investment in yourself and your future.
If you’ve made it so far, thank you for your interest! I’d love to answer any questions you might have. Also, I’d appreciate your feedback or tips on how I can make it even better.
Thank you!
Hello, beautiful ladies
Today is a beautiful day. Just now, my wife has participated in the design of a small game with over 100 users. Although it may not seem like a large number, at least we have taken a small step forward. Only she knows the hardships involved, and she is truly proud and proud of my wife
My wife is a helpful person who is also willing to accept everyone's opinions. Her friends' opinions on her once made her feel important and confused, so she participated in the design of this mini game to better understand her true views in the eyes of her friends
If you also want to know your friends' evaluations of you, you can give it a try https://www.buddy.game/ It's really important for her to let her know your thoughts in the comments section

Hello ladies, let’s take matters into our own hands! We’ve all experienced the quizzes on online beauty stores. They are sometimes okay and might work but that is not enough. Imagine not having to purchase multiple products just to try on and return the rest or not having to mix products to get that right shade match.
If this has happened to you or you know of someone who finds it hard to purchase their makeup or even explore other brands because of shade mismatch, please tell them about our platform. Kindly try it out and let me know how you like it.🙂

Ok so I don’t usually post on here but I felt compelled to after reading so many posts about people struggling to grow a following for their business on social media. I think a big reason for this is wayyy too many business owners ignore Twitter as a primary marketing channel.
Twitter is a great place to have personal and meaningful interactions with audiences. With 330 million active monthly users and 500 million tweets sent daily, Twitter puts your business in front of many potential customers daily and should be a big part of your marketing strategy.
Because of the competitiveness of the Twitter attention landscape where everyone is competing for likes and retweets, Twitter marketing requires long-term dedication and patience. You need to take the time to build your following. Learning how to use Twitter for marketing takes time and energy, but with the right tools you can guarantee your business' success.
The best tools for Twitter include Pickr, Hootsuite, and the Twitter Analytics dashboard. Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms on the planet which makes it difficult to stand out amongst competitors creating tons of content every day. Pickr tells you which topics to tweet about for maximum reach and engagement. Hootsuite allows you to schedule posts, monitor all your brand mentions, and build streams on one dashboard. Twitter Analytics gives you the chance to see your top tweets and mentions, as well as any new followers you gained throughout the month.
With these tools and some dedication, any business owner should be able to turn tweets into revenue and grow a targeted Twitter following around their business.
Hi ladies, with a friend we are creating a small tool to very simply build pricing pages on Webflow. We want to build an easy to use product that allows you to create the pages from templates, but we also want to include a Drag & Drop builder and A/B testing analytics.
Would love to get your feedback on the Micro-SaaS idea, do you think it’s something that could be interesting for Webflow users? I’m currently trying to validate the business idea.
Here’s a link to our landing page if you’re interested (we’ll provide regular updates until the launch) : Priceflow
Hey everyone,
I started a small business selling affordable makeup around 2 years ago but unfortunately, it didn't work out and I had to shut it down. However, I am now planning to reopen the business and try again. I would really appreciate any advice or tips from experienced business owners who have gone through similar situations.
One of the challenges that I am facing is that the lashes that I have are too big and long. I am not sure how to approach this issue and make my products more appealing to customers. Any suggestions on how to deal with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
