No sales since Oct, very frustrating. How to improve
Hi there, please HELP:
B08VWDWL2K
86-A8YA-S664
B08VHKZLJP
So I think I have made everything other sellers suggested. Still no sales. Have not been advertising yet. Scared of the massive cost. How do you guys sell, get reviews.
I am really stuck, and not getting anywhere. I think I am good at this, just very new and lost.
Any help appreciated

I think i’m starting to recognise your ASINs by sight…
Try and follow the Mod’s advice to keep to one thread.

I can remember your original thread, it’s a shame they aren’t selling, the top ASIN I have had a look at and I think it looks great but I’m not female so it won’t suit me
Have you had a look on your reports page and seen how many views your items are having? if there is a low page count then advertising/PPC might be something one of the sellers that use this service might be able to advise you on.
Have you advertised your items on your social media with a link to the item on Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc??
I don’t know if the delivery timeframe is an issue, I do know the majority of Amazon customers are in a rush. Can you possibly manufacture some standard sizes and send them to FBA?
I really do wish you the best of luck though.

To be honest, everything just looks grey and boring.
Please understand I am not trying to insult you, but there is no passion, or sales or sparkle to your images, language or your offer in general.
Before you spend any money on advertising look at some UK fashion photography and adverts. Look at the language used by brands when they describe their products.
Your products are inexpensive, so personally I expect being asked to pay half as much again for the product at shipping would put me off, just include the cost of shipping in an increased buying price.
Who are you targeting? Are you targeting teens? Twenty-somethings? Try to use their language, use age appropriate target models.
Up the quality of your main product images. The background isn’t white, the product is beige. Everything is just bleurgh and drab. You need to zing and pazazz!
What are your USPs - unique selling points - and why should I care? Being made in Poland isn’t a statement of quality, it is just a statement. It means nothing. Has it been made by a company or individual with xyz training, how long have they been making, what is their story?
You need to sell the story around the product, what will it do for me, why do I need it, what do I tell my friends about it when they ask me about it?
At the moment all I can tell them is that it was made in Poland and was inspired by desiigner. Not a compelling story or sales pitch.

I like the idea especially the scrunchie but for me its the thought of paying £5 for an item I know wouldnt cost £5 to post - I understand thats because you’re in Poland but as a random Amazon buyer that puts me off
Maybe get a few more items listed, like if I could buy 5 items for £5 postage, that would seem a whole lot more attractive to me, tempt people in

everyone has a different view, the main thing I noticed was quality of photos and price they look to be very thin and I imagine your buying in bulk so getting the bow for about £1 and the scalf 2 max, your charging a fortune for postage which wont help either
Seller_esvgLzKXw2YAl
I know others have commented on postage etc, but just looked at the first one.
Why sell at £10 dead, when it looks far more attractive at £9.99?
I agree with the postage cost, perhaps look at including it in the total cost instead?
Is FBA an option?
Also, not sure if it’s been mentioned, and I appreciate your Polish, but the English needs to be better on the listing itself. A more expanded description if possible.

I am going to be brutally honest here, (sorry, but it needs to be said!)
That print is no longer fashionable in the UK (and hasn’t been for some time) and, even when it was, the connotations were that it was for ‘chavs’. I really don’t think you are going to sell them in the UK at any price.
I also don’t think that women in the UK would wear the bow one. A plain headband without the bow (or with a bow that can be worn on the top of the head like in this pic rather than one that hangs down!) would be more popular but you need to change the fabric to maybe something like a tartan.

Unfortunately I think it is the product and pricing that is the problem. As Jackie says the print isn’t so popular in the U.K. now and overall the products are expensive once postage is accounted for - similar sorts of product in similar fabric available on other popular sites for less than half the cost.
I wouldn’t spend any money on advertising but explore other prints, styles and perhaps other marketplaces that might work better for your product (Amazon.pl launching soon as well).
Some products are more difficult to sell online - I have one in my range that I have never managed to sell online, even using adverts, vouchers and promotions - but I have sold it consistently at craft fairs where customers can see why is has the price tag it does, so that might be a better route for you (there are lots of online craft markets at the moment in place of in person markets).
Good luck, don’t give up

Google ‘retro vintage 50s headband’, this is the market you should be aiming headbands at.

@Patch_Up_Designs do not create multiple threads for the same issue, I am closing this thread. Please use your original one for any questions or updates No sales, opened shop since October
Thank you,
