Thread by @ronaldnzimora

Alright let's do the E-Commerce product thread.

This is about the product I talked about earlier today. I said I wasn't going to sell it even though I think it has promise because it breaks my rule which is: don't sell fragile stuff

So here we go.

First of all, credit where due.

I saw this product on a @Nappyb0yy thread.

It will require some money upfront. The cheapest I have found is $55.

alibaba.com/product-detail…

I am sure it'll have some weight, so let's say another $10 for shipping each one.

Everything should round up to say $70 each.

That's =N=26,000 here.

I believe this will sell well for =N=60,000 - =N=70,000 each.

Play on the luxury vanity side. Folks with nice homes here...

will want to install it in their homes.

Where will you find them?

1. Instagram.

2. LinkedIn

3. Facebook

(In that order)

How do you sell it?

Buy one, put it in your fine bathroom FIRST, shoot a video of you using it. Post the video. Say you have some to supply and install.

Another way to sell this is to take it to the luxury hotels in Lagos - Eko Signature, WheatBaker, Fahrenheit, etc.

Ask for the manager, pitch it. Tell them you can supply it. These hotels are in competition against each other. If there's a chance to look better, some will bite.

Foir this, please make sure you DO NOT sell it via the "Cash on Delivery" model.

Make sure they pay FIRST. It's too heavy and too fragile to risk returns.

That's it really.

Nothing to it.

E-Commerce is simple. If you know what to look for and what to do.

Selah.
