Facebook, Instagram, Carousell, Qoo10, Lazada, Shopee and other platforms - which do you use to do your online shopping?
The reason we sell through our website at www.ilovemasonjar.com is simple. It is easier for us to control the content on our own platform as we own the website. Policy changes on Facebook / Instagram / Carousell / Qoo10 / Lazada / Shopee and more from time to time. We may get traffic organically - that is for free. After a while, the platform may start to charge for ads or listings. They may even cease to exist. Remember we stopped using Friendster and very few people use eBay / Gum Tree in Singapore. These platforms may change over time as the people who use them changes. Generally, we notice users on Instagram are younger than Facebook. So do take note about the products you are selling. If you are selling items to retirees (Aged 60 and above), maybe its better to focus more on selling through Facebook. We are selling personalized gifts (Aged 20 to 45) - so our profile tend to spend more time on Instagram than Facebook. Whatever you are promoting, look at the demographic of the likely customers and the platform they prefer. Spend more time and effort on that. That is the essence. After that, we bring them back to the website for more details and carting out. And one more tip: Follow the "Leaders" of the market you are in and learn from them.

We start to explore writing more about the tumblers we sell.
Our value proposition is having the desired name / motto / slogan on the Tumbler and it makes you and your family / friends happy to see it daily. It is unique too, we may have nicknames that we love to call ourselves and our friends. It can be a fun and heartwarming gift if we add these onto the tumblers and give to our loved ones. "DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES US HAPPY!" can be a good slogan to add on the tumbler. If it makes you Happy, it makes us Happy too!

We have more time to plan, to assign daily tasks and more get done. We cannot control when customers want to buy and how much. But we can control what we show to the world we are doing. Content creation on a daily or regular basis is helpful to draw customers to make purchases. We are doing it on a daily basis on Instagram @ilovemasonjar Image: Pexels Running any business require effort. Hiring can be difficult and picking a suitable person requires luck.
