I learned many things during the process, from creating an amazon account and its requirements, Contacting suppliers and overseeing the shipment, all the way to creating a marketing campaign and managing the ads, questions and orders.
Branding and publicity
As a designer, I was excited to design my own brand and logo. After generating enough artwork and photos I started creating content on social media, using Facebook, Instagram, and Amazon as my main platforms for publicity.
CONTACTING MANUFACTURERS
Finding the right supplier
The main learnings:
It’s important to be fair and comprehend where the prices are originating.
Good communication, being clear on what I want, on what is possible, and overcoming the barrier language.
Willing to adapt and provide adjustments on the products.
Coordinating the shipment
Main learnings:
Knowing my options. By asking many shipment providers I started learning the kinds of transportation, how long each of them took, and the difference in the pricing.
Another very important factor was the delivery time. One must learn when to order so you are not over or under-stock.
