    Leafletting Campaign for a Product - Worth a Shot or Waste of Cash?

    A bit more info - PPC ads are great but I just ignore them myself. Again they obviously do work otherwise Google wouldn’t be where they are today. But I like to do something a little differently. Ordinarily I would’ve asked kitchen shops to advertise Them but obviously they won’t have any...

    Leafletting Campaign for a Product - Worth a Shot or Waste of Cash?

    Hi everyone, I have designed a kitchenware product - think Le Creuset in the £100-200 price bracket. I am trying to think (slightly) outside of the box to create some brand awareness. I thought with people at home more at the moment and the fact that I can target a leaflet drop specifically...

    Supplementary E-Com Platforms for Independent Artisans to Boost Revenue

    Hi Mr D, I apologise, I used an online fee calculator for Amazon a while back and seemed to remember after commission etc the fees worked out at about 30% - I just did that again and you are spot on its about 15%. Which is much better... Thanks for the other resources, I will take a look!

    Independent UK Business Directories

    Yes, kind of what I thought, to be honest. I thought I'd pose the question as most of these sites I found are stores but also have an optional 'makers directory' for £10 a year. I wondered if some of their visits might end up seeing this, but I suppose it is very unlikely.

    Ok thanks for the advice Mr D and MBE2017. I will stick with Plan A and may approach this at a later date when hopefully I have built up a brand.

    Wholesale Selling & What I Should Know Upfront

    Yes this is kind of what I had expected. I was nervous about cash flow selling wholesale anyway. But thought it would be helpful to have the information regardless. Thanks!

    Wholesale Selling & What I Should Know Upfront

    Hi everyone! I am just launching a new business and have designed a new kitchenware product. My plan was to sell D2C through social media and not to look at wholesale (at least for the time being). I have had a slight change of heart and think I might as well look into the idea. Does anyone...

    Natural Handmade Candles (Organic Essential Oils)

    Also, from research the margins seem to support spending on advertising. So I am quite aware / comfortable with this. I would love feedback from people with expertise in selling through ads online. Do they convert well?

    Natural Handmade Candles (Organic Essential Oils)

    Hi, thanks for taking time to reply. I particularly like the suggestion of testing the product for feedback at a local fair. I agree, just because the market might be saturated, doesn’t mean there isn’t room for a small fish with quality product. Thanks again
