Do you sell on your site, or do you use a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc?
I sell on my website and use Printful for on-demand printing and shipping. I also sell some items that I print and ship myself. I use a mixture of both based on the cost of manufacturing and shipping. Looking forward to discussing this more!
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
Creativity and Consistency are key. I try to create a variety of posts and reels that are both eye-catching and consistent with our brands. There’s a good amount of planning and organizing that goes into posting regularly.
We started with organic posts about what we do and how we do it, then evolved into more formal postings with a clear message. We vary what we post based on the season and choose the time of day based on audience engagement.
Over the past 6 months, we’ve had a 150% increase in social media engagement – mostly due to prioritizing posting events and activities people can do in the area. We have found that folks prioritize engaging with posts that they can share with their families and peer groups – so we try to make sure there’s action items and incentives associated with our posts.
