Wonderful Memories

 Shopee

    We know that Shopee can get customers outside of Asia, but so far we don't know how or we skip that paragraph in the merchant handbook.  To be honest we read the guide to registering our store in the export program, but it seems that we missed the part to sell to Latin America. 

    That's why we were surprised when we got sales notifications from foreign country codes like Colombia. We often get purchases from countries in Southeast Asia as well as Taiwan and this is the first time our store has had buyers from Colombia.

    The product purchased this time is Yor Forger's cosplay earrings. I remember it was a time of waiting for Spy x Family S2 to air. Maybe that's what caused this customer from Colombia to buy from our store. Actually, this earring product has been around from last year, but it doesn't have good sales. This 2023, someone asked Yor earrings but with a different type of hook (previously we had a type of clip earrings for those without ear piercings) yet this time, we chose the type of hook earrings for those with ear piercings. 

    It seems that changes like this make shoppers interested so they shop at our store. These earrings are only available in a limited number of pairs, but we are thinking of providing more when sales increase.You can find this product in our e-commerce store, the store link is below. Feel free to visit and shop at our store.

 E-commerce Store

    These are the sales generated through our two current e-commerce stores. To be honest, we have to start thinking about good sales strategies in the future to maximize the potential of these two stores. Both of these stores can already be accessed by overseas buyers, the difference is that Shopee stores can only reach a few countries that work with their team, while Etsy can reach a wider country (can be from the European continent and also America).

    When asked if we were satisfied with the sales this year, we honestly didn't expect much since a member got sick a while ago, making us realize how vulnerable a small business is if someone is sick/unable to participate in activities as usual. Therefore, we have to rethink many things, both from marketing strategies, then plan B and so on if something unexpected happens. 

    We learn a lot from every purchase that happens in our stores. Of course, we hope to be able to increase income and also be able to provide the best service to customers.

September & October E-commerce Order 2023

    There was an increase in sales in October compared to September. When juxtaposed through images like this, it looks like a big difference. In fact, income in September can be greater than October. This is due to sales that occur through Etsy's overseas stores. Of course there are differences in currency rates, so this can happen.

    Sometimes we also pay attention to other e-commerce stores in terms of new breakthrough. Of course there are things that we can use in our business model, so these things that we usually try to maximize to get the results we want. We will still make new accessories every month and will increase the stock of accessories that are most in demand by buyers. For a while that's what we're doing at the moment.
