We did not expect orders to flood in initially, we only have a limited number of products that are all Christmas related but how do we gain that all important first customer?
Today I did a reel on Instagram, tried to link to Facebook and I think I have set it up so things appear in google shopping.
I still have a lot to learn about SEO, and how to be discovered.
Next for me its packaging. We need to be ready for when we do get orders!! As I have mentioned on the website before, I am interested in making sure we are as environmentally friendly as possible. I looked into compostable mailer bags, only to discover they are not really a good as they sound. They rarely get composted, they normally end up in a rubbish bag and head to landfill and never really actually fulfil their destiny. Even when they do its doubtful that they add anything to the soil and actually can contaminate it with any ink used on it.
I am busy looking at boxes now, but I am just worried that with the weather we have in the UK will the products reach there new homes in the same way they are dispatched - its all a minefield!!
