NICHE ANALYSIS: HOW I CHOSE PRODUCTS WITH A STRONG UPWARD TREND
To choose the products, I used a combination of market research and trend analysis. I kept an eye on popular categories like gadgets and wellness products. I used Google Trends to identify spikes in interest for certain products and the Meta Ad Library to check out ads that were trending. FreeSpy was useful here too, letting me explore what other people were successfully promoting. I chose 5 products that had shown consistent growth over the past few months and appealed to a niche audience.
Facebook and Instagram ad strategies: average ROI of 300%
The ad strategy was divided into three steps:
- Create engaging ads: I used short videos and high-quality images that highlighted the products’ benefits.
- Advanced targeting: I targeted audiences who had shown interest in related categories, using demographic, interest, and behavioral data.
- Ongoing optimization: I monitored ad performance daily and made adjustments, like switching up creatives and increasing the budget on better-performing campaigns. The result was an average ROI of 300%, which means that for every R$ 1,00 invested, I got R$ 3,00 back.
Remarketing impact: 40% increase in conversions
Launching remarketing campaigns was crucial. I targeted users who visited the store but didn’t complete their purchase. I created specific ads with promotions and reminders, resulting in a 40% increase in conversions. This strategy helped recapture customers’ interest and increase average order value.
LOGISTICS AND SUPPLIERS: THE MISTAKE THAT ALMOST COST ME EVERYTHING
Choosing the wrong suppliers was a major risk. One supplier promised short delivery times but didn’t follow through. This led to delays and unhappy customers. To avoid this issue, I built solid partnerships with suppliers who had good reviews and a reliable delivery track record. I placed test orders before launching sales to validate product quality and delivery times.
Results in charts: total sales month by month
Total sales by month were as follows:
- Month 1: R$ 5.000
- Month 2: R$ 15.000
- Month 3: R$ 25.000
Steady growth came from a combination of effective marketing strategies, good product selection, and a focus on customer service.
