Something I am definitely considering. I am in the linen apparel business, so I am exploring Portugal at the moment who have some good quality factories. Obviously price point is more expensive, though its cheaper than the 145% tariff.

FYI your instagram link on your website doesn’t work <@U087JMS6328>

Thanks Simba. They have told me that when it goes with FedEx or DHL it’s cleared in the Air and is based on where the product is manufactured, where as with Aus Post it’s where it is shipped from..
Where did you find any confirmation of this?
#wholesale-tariffs - April 16, 2025 at 08:08 AM
This is what I was just advised from Australia Post here in Australia which I found interesting.
Country of Origin can be country of shipment, not country of manufacture. They have even published it on their website.
I still am struggling to find any backup information to prove this is the case.

Hahah I didn’t even know there was a page builder with the same name

Has anyone used Profitpeak?
#everything-marketing - March 27, 2025 at 08:23 PM
No sorry, I’m referring to the software that uses pixel data to identify customers
#everything-marketing - March 27, 2025 at 04:30 AM
Is anyone using Instant? Keen to hear peoples thoughts.
#everything-marketing - March 23, 2025 at 09:00 PM
Does the VA setup the campaign structures for you also?
#tech-talk - February 14, 2025 at 02:32 AM
Hi All
Does anyone use FlexReturn Return App?
We have had an issue over the past few weeks where the emails that are sent to the customer from the app are not been received. They are not going to spam either?
The support for the app is also very very poor. If anyone else uses it, are you having a similar experience? Or does anyone have a contact there?
Thanks

I checked the pricing of TYDO… starts at $4500 USD per month… @Nik Sharma At what revenue do you consider this worthwhile, and also what does it offer that other similar softwares don’t?
#limited-supply - January 23, 2025 at 10:54 AM
Keep to see how your dashboard looks @Nik Sharma in Tydo.

Keen to hear others Meta ad structure for BFCM?

Had an auto transfer setup from your bank to CC every day. Set the limit to what you are spending on average. Its a set and forget.
Or you can go to a monthly invoice from Meta, but that will be a hefty chunk all at once.
Speaking of which.. everyone should check their daily spend limits before BFCM as it’s caught out many over the years.

The software is a little archaic, support is terrible and finding people who are savvy with the software to support the onboarding is tough. There is also an element of physical setup that is required to be integrated into the system (i.e bar code scanners etc).
My main advise would be to really get a good grip of it with the support team before signing the dotted line.

Anyone know of any good platforms / avenues out there to sell an ecom business within Australia. I don’t think empire flippers would be the right platform for my Aus based brand.
Thanks in advance
#australia - November 18, 2024 at 06:11 PM
Cin 7 is certainly a punish to onboard, however it will functionally do 95 percent of your requirements I would think.
What functions didn’t cin7 have?
#everything-marketing - November 07, 2024 at 12:27 AM
ok good to know Jesse. Thanks
#everything-marketing - November 06, 2024 at 11:17 PM
We have noticed a floor with Okendo, where it shows reviews individually rather than grouping as a product.
I.e. if we sell a 1 litre water bottle in 10 colours, reviews are specific to a colour not the water bottles in 1 litre. Surely this isn’t right?
I believe that groups..
#everything-marketing - November 06, 2024 at 09:59 PM
thanks guys!

Does anyone know of platforms where you can manage influencers, results, spend etc.
#paid-media - October 30, 2024 at 04:59 AM
@Dipesh Kataria 4-6x roas is aiming high for sure, though those CTR’s are possible

The cost of apps and tools for ecommerce just feels like it has exploded over the past 6 months. Klaviyo, okendo to name a few, it’s just out of control!
Anyone else feeling the same!
#limited-supply - July 31, 2024 at 12:02 AM
yeh it definitely feels like a big hole in the pod.. I really enjoyed the back and forth banter, disagreements and brainstorming of ideas..
#everything-marketing - July 29, 2024 at 04:34 AM
This is the $1m question.
I think its important to take into consideration the LTV of the customer at the time of the acquisition. I.e. it might cost you $80 to acquire a customer buying a $100 product (which is obviously not profitable), however they might purchase 3 times over the next 2 years, which brings them up to say a $400 spend.
It is also worth creating sale concepts that are not sales (as in sitewide). I.e. segmented offers through emails and ads.. by 2 get 1 free (increases AOV), retargeting ads offering discounts equivalent to your website pop ups etc.
Also consider referral incentives, giveaways, influencer marketing, optimising email flows …
I look at as one big engine with the end goal to have them all churning away with the end goal of becoming profitable.
Hope that helps

I tend to find that Meta always has higher numbers than what TW reports, in particular on ASC campaigns.
Here is some data from one of our accounts.
I think its important to utilise all the data you have for attribution, as well as key data metrics from Meta that they provide which are actual numbers (CTR, thumbstop, Video % watched etc)
#general-chat - July 13, 2024 at 09:35 PM
You can use screaming frog to find the images
#general-chat - July 02, 2024 at 09:57 PM
You can see significant differences in results through other attribution tools, so its always good to have multiple sources of data in order to optimise your campaigns
#everything-marketing - June 27, 2024 at 07:39 PM
Are you spending $$ on ads? You can go through the Meta business support, and they should assist.
#general-chat - June 19, 2024 at 03:12 AM
Yes, its been filed. This is their latest response.
I completely understand your frustration regarding the store’s actions, including using your photo. Please rest assured that we are taking immediate steps to contact the store owner. To set proper expectations, we must follow the standard procedures for such matters. However, we are committed to holding the store accountable for their actions. We will keep you updated with any progress of our investigation.
#general-chat - June 19, 2024 at 01:29 AM
Not sure where to put this:
We have had a website appear to have scrapped our website and imitate our brand. All the same images, products etc.
The brand name is different, but its clearly a scam. Both our site and the scam site are hosted on Shopify, so we have reached out to them.
Has anyone had this happen to them, as I would really appreciate any feedback on the steps to resolve this ASAP.
#everything-marketing - June 17, 2024 at 10:26 PM
All in house for us, and we are a very small team. I feel like the demand for this will continue to grow and majority of Ecom business's will build their team around content creation.
#paid-media - June 17, 2024 at 10:10 PM
I have a super successful ad that I run throughout over a dozen countries, though when I run it in the USA the CPM's are off the charts. No matter what I try (changed copy, landing pages, audiences, they sit at around $150-$170 AUD. The ad still had a great CTR (around 3.8%), and converts ... but CPA's are too high ...
I have since run the ad using a worldwide audience, and excluded a heap of countries I dont want to sell to. The CPA's for that ad to the USA in the WW campaign now sit at $60 AUD..
#general-chat - June 12, 2024 at 09:21 AM
@Shin Takeda are you able to chuck this into your daily wrap 🙏
#general-chat - June 11, 2024 at 01:23 AM
Really not sure where to put this. I posted this a few months ago on the tech talk thread, however only had a couple of replies suggesting to use a third party payment gateway called Nuvei.
I have been deep diving into fees related to a transaction through Shopify and feel like many including myself would be or are shocked at the costs related to this process.
Here is one simple transaction from the other day (NB: I am an Australian business however sell to the USA).
Sale Price: $151 USD
PayPal Fee $5.74 USD ($8.81 AUD)
Net Total: $145.26 USD
Paypal Conv to AUD: $213.99 ($220.49 on Transfer Wise after fees. Image shows spot rate).
So essentially this single transaction has cost:
$8.81 AUD (Paypal Fee)
$6.50 (Exchange Rate difference)
So in total this transaction cost $15.31 AUD or 6.61% of the original transaction.
This obviously doesn’t take into consideration all of the other costs associated with making the sale.
Also if we are to leave the currency in USD, then we avoid the conversion rate costs, and use Transfer wise to make hold funds and make payments in the foreign currencies.
This is obviously barely touching the surface, so I would love to know if anyone know someone that specialises in this space and can consult and save a few $$.
#paid-media - June 06, 2024 at 07:49 AM
Meta reps will tell you to run them with 40-50 creatives, but I have had zero luck on many accounts with ASC. Meta will report wildly different results to a third part platform like Triple Whale. Not sure if im isolated, however I have this happening over 3-4 accounts and multiple countries.

Thanks for sharing Bryan. Appreciate it. Im waiting for 3.0 access 🙂

Ron I'm keen to see the creative too if you will share privately. Are they any pop us or deterrents the customer is seeing when they land on the page? i..e geo country pop ups?
