(Part 2) Best products from r/ecommerce

They setup a website and sell a product.

Take nerdy tshirts for example. Look on Amazon/Ebay, and then look at JINX

On a side note - most eCommerce stores will also hold a presence on Amazon, eBay, Google Shopping.

like JINX does

One gives you options of selecting easily multiple products, and in general browsing. The other, you have to search specifically for what you want.

Then you have places like TeeFury and Blipshift that only offer the tshirt for a set amount of time ( e.g. 24 hours ) and then it's GONE, and you cannot find them on eBay/Amazon.

I guess a better example would be this Amazon listing.

They have a black dress and a blue dress. Instead of going to find the blue dress, I can just click on the blue dress and purchase it from there.

I'm guessing it'd be for variations? Maybe have a D.Va page and from that one page I can either select the carbon fiber or the blueberry and look be able to look at either one from that page.

1. Feeling fidgety?
   
2. "Enjoy your music anytime anywhere" Why are you trying to explain how headphones work? Taglines need work.
   
3. I don't see a target demographic, you're selling electric razors, a "wife mom boss" shirt and mermaid swim suits none of which I "must have" nor do I care that "you've got it" for 80% markup no less
   
4. Your domain sounds like it came out of a domain name generator that was fed with a buzzword list containing blog, google, and buzz and ranked the domain "high value and available" for you. There is no reason to the name/this website. You don't even follow the same theme (favicon does not match logo).
   
   You aren't going to beat Target, and you have to expect slow sales when your prices are above Amazon and eBay. People are cross-shopping your site and finding you don't offer any advantage even in your "curation" if you can even call it that.
   
   Maybe try to answer the question "Why should I shop here?" for me.

your photos aren't the greatest. i'd advise staying away from patio furniture. you might want to invest in a light box. it seems like you only have 3 or 4 hats, for sale, you might want to keep it simple with a one page layout, without "related products". the full front page slideshow also seems a bit excessive, i'd go with a simple banner half banner without a slideshow, or just scrap it altogether and list your products instead. the full page and the black text at the top kinda bleed together. also, the word "baseball" on the back of the "LA" hat is misspelled.

I've been using a Brother QL-700 for the last 3 years and just bought a second one. First one I bought from Staples, but the second bought last week for under $70 CAD from Amazon.
It's thermal so no ink, high quality print and fast. The large shipping labels normally work out around 10 cents a label.

I ended up getting a Logitech C920, which has a camera screw (it's one of the only ones I could find). I also purchased a camera wall mount (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PERMVQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), but when I just searched for it again on amazon (I searched "camera wall mount"), I saw a bunch that were a LOT cheaper. I plan to build a small white box with some lights and mount the mount to it.

Well there are several but mainly this would be for: https://www.amazon.com/Thermo-Tank-Insulated-Stainless-Bottle/dp/B01HKPI72K

How do these compare to Woodwick candles, as far as crackling and the burn length?

Just order them here.

You can also purchase these from this fine site

Looked at one item. $22.50 for Mario and Luigi stuffed dolls. 30 seconds of googling finds the same thing for $13 on Amazon.

Your business model seems to be "hope for suckers" because I have no idea why anyone would buy from you.

I'm not an expert in this niche, but why would I pay you £25.72 for this - Shipped from China/USA/Spain to the UK, when Amazon will deliver it to me tomorrow for £24.99?


I also couldn't find a delivery information page - so I have no clue when my order is going to get to me?

i think they mean first class mail versus first class package. as long as it's legible and i think 4x5 is im sure it's no problem. a quick search on amazon shows several 4x5 labels for shipping so i imagine it's not a problem...https://www.amazon.com/Buhbo-Address-Shipping-Sticker-Printers/dp/B07L8PG9QK/ref=sr_1_9?crid=3KPSJSLHUQWXV&keywords=4x5+labels&qid=1570753420&sprefix=4+x+5+lab%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-9

If you wanna get crazy you can buy blanks and make your own computerized embroidery with one of those ~$300 brother machines. It also is a normal sewing machine when you need it to be. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003EPLBMO

>Including (2) 45 Watt 5000K Light Bulbs

I think as /u/willcodejavaforfood mentioned your lights are too far away from the product AND your light tent looks really thin and is probably not diffusing the light enough either. Have you tried putting the lights right up to the tent? Is this the light tent kit you have?

I think your problem could be that with only two harsh directional light sources essentially 30" or more away from your products there's no way to avoid a lot of shadows.

My system has four large diffused florescent daylight-balanced bulbs INSIDE the light box, which fills the box (it's a reflective silver/white color) with light and casts very few shadows. You could try adding more lights or finding some bigger light sources (soft boxes) maybe.
