Hey @jasonh ,
Oh, totally relate to that quiet post-launch moment — exciting and terrifying at the same time!
One of the boldest things we did early on was DM’ing potential customers directly on Instagram, offering a small gift if they’d just check out the store.
It felt risky — super scrappy — but it sparked real conversations and landed our first few sales. It taught us that people connect with people, not just products. Sometimes, a personal touch goes further than a polished ad.
Would love to hear what others tried too — it’s those wild first steps that make the best stories!
