What It's About
A listener from Singapore wants more sales for her biodegradable party cups.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1386
For much of 2020, we’ve been trying to focus on this broad topic: you’ve made it, now how can you sell it. In today’s story: a listener from Singapore sells biodegradable party cups with cheerful designs. She’s selling them on Amazon, and wondering how to get noticed by more people."Hi, this is Keri from Singapore. I've been listening to the show since reading your first book, The Hundred Dollar Startup. I'm always inspired by the stories in the show and find your advice practical and positive. So thanks for that. My side hustle is a brand called Happy Cups, which are biodegradable party cups that have colorful, cheerful designs. One of flamingos and the other of avocados. My sister and I designed and launched the product on Amazon. Since it is a new product, we do not have many reviews yet and sales are slow. We've let our family and friends know and have set up an Amazon campaign to advertise the products. We also started an Instagram account @HappyCupsParty, but are new digital marketing. So my question is, how do we advertise a new product on Amazon?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
