I started this Store in 2022 and been trying to figure how to get the brand out there. How long does it usually take for a store to start making profit? I have social media but feel like the Instagram is not getting anywhere. My reels get 0 views and I get more views on my Pinterest then Instagram, Just looking to see what i Can do to improve my store and I think I’m just going to take all the kids and males stuff off for now. Just need some ideas to try to get the brand out there. Any Tips on Social Media Marketing Would Be helpful!!! Thanks
Topic summary
Seeking effective social media tactics to grow a 2022-launched online store and understand time to profitability. Instagram Reels are getting 0 views, while Pinterest drives comparatively more views.
- Product focus: Considering removing kids’ and men’s items to streamline the catalog.
- Prior efforts: Previously used a marketing app/service during a free trial; it “worked great” and led to a couple of conversions (sales), but was paused due to cost. Plans to resume when budget allows.
- Shared materials: Linked an external Google Doc outlining current social media approach (details not discussed in-thread).
- Suggestions received: Try paid ads on Facebook, TikTok, or Google Ads to increase traffic; one reply offered access to a “free advertising account.”
No concrete action plan or consensus yet. Key open questions: realistic timeline to profitability, how to revive Instagram reach, and whether to invest in paid ads given budget constraints. Discussion remains ongoing.
