Hi Inese,

I recently visited New Zealand and absolutely loved the South Island — you live in a truly beautiful country!

That said, I want to be upfront with my feedback on your store. Please don’t take this personally — I’m sharing this because I’d hate for you to pour ad spend into something that’s not yet ready, and potentially end up losing money.

Right now, the store gives off a very generic dropshipping vibe, without a clear niche or cohesive brand identity. On first impression, it’s difficult to tell what the store is really about.

Some elements, like the missing image in the “Homepage” collection, make the site feel incomplete and unpolished.

If I were in your shoes, I’d take a step back and:

  1. Reevaluate your product selection — what problem are you solving, or what kind of customer are you serving?

  2. Refine your brand identity so it feels intentional and trustworthy.

  3. Invest time into creating a clean, professional-looking store that gives users confidence and clarity.

Let me know if you’d like help workshopping some ideas — happy to share tips or point you toward some great examples.
