I’ve had my watch store Thewrighttimewatches.com for 2 years now. I’m just not making sells. I’ve done everything that was recommended from advertising and promoting on instagram, tiktoc, Facebook, numerous times a day. I just don’t know what to do. I need any type of help. I believe I can make my business profitable. Just need some help as dropshipping appears to be more difficult than I imagined.
Hi @MichaelWright11 ,
sorry to hear about your struggles. You have to accept a few things:
- The dropshipping hype is a few years old now, so there are A LOT of dropshipping stores out there
- Watches are most likely one of the top 5 products that people start their dropshipping store with. Which again means there’s a ton of competition
- Your watches are really expensive. Ask yourself this - as an “average joe” - would you buy a 400-500$ watch from a store you’ve never heard of and (no offense) looks like a regular dropshipping store? Most likely not
- Due to the amount of competition, you really need an expert (or make yourself one) for social media ads. To be successful like this you have to know a lot about paid social ads.
- If you watch a few Youtube videos about dropshipping, probably 5 out of 10 will go with the example of a watch store. Which means, a lot of people will also start out with that one.
- Also - dropshipping is a very flexible business. Most successful dropshippers opened and closed multiple stores over time with various products. If the watches don’t work out, they try the next product. If that one works, keep scaling and try another product. And so on…
So long story short - I totally get you’re frustrated, believe me. But first have an objective and rational look at your endeavor and check if your store, product and marketing is actually the best it can be. And if you want to continue dropshipping, think about switching the product/niche.
Sells no sells??
How about spelling !!!
No Sales No Sales
