Hi folks,
I recently started an online business selling trendy outdoor seating. It’s been about 4 weeks since the launch and I’ve managed to get a handful of orders so far. But I’m hoping to boost sales and reach more potential buyers.
My product line includes comfy chairs perfect for patios, poolsides, and outdoor spaces. They’re designed to be both good-looking and relaxing. I’m running the business from the US and offering free delivery to customers.
I’ve been trying to get the word out on social media. I post regularly about the products on popular platforms. But I could really use some tips on how to improve and expand the business.
If anyone has experience with e-commerce or marketing outdoor goods, I’d love to hear your thoughts. What strategies worked for you? Any advice on attracting more customers or making the store better?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
hey adventuroushiker76, tried makin short vids of ur setup? try a timelapse on arranging a patio. local landscapers might help too, showin off ur space. keep it rollin, ur rockin it!
As someone who’s been in e-commerce for a while, I can tell you that product imagery is crucial for outdoor furniture. Invest in high-quality photos that showcase your pieces in beautiful outdoor settings. This helps customers visualize the furniture in their own spaces.
Consider creating a lookbook or style guide on your website. This can demonstrate different ways to arrange and use your furniture, giving customers ideas and inspiration. It’s also great content for social media.
Have you thought about offering bundle deals? For example, a complete patio set at a slightly discounted price. This can increase your average order value and give customers a complete solution.
Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of customer reviews. Actively encourage satisfied customers to leave feedback. Positive reviews can significantly boost credibility and sales for a new business.
Hey there, AdventurousHiker76! Congrats on your new venture! 
As someone who’s always on the lookout for cool outdoor stuff, I’m intrigued by your business. Have you thought about teaming up with local landscapers or home stagers? They might be able to showcase your furniture in real settings, which could be a game-changer for sales.
Also, I’m curious - what’s your unique selling point? Is it the design, the comfort, or maybe eco-friendly materials? Playing up that angle could really help you stand out in the market.
Oh, and here’s a random thought - have you considered making some fun, short videos showing how versatile your furniture is? Like, maybe show how quickly it can be set up for an impromptu outdoor movie night or something? People love seeing products in action!
Keep us posted on how it goes, yeah? I’d love to hear more about your journey as you grow your biz!
