Hi Everyone,

I need to be vulnerable, and I wasn’t sure where to post this.

I started my brand, Private Packs, in January 2021. A month after our Shopify launch, we landed a deal with CVS. Target came on board in 2022. Both retailers have since dropped us.

I’ve been running this brand alone, and retail made up 79% of our revenue. Losing those accounts has been hard. It’s tough not to take it personally—not to see it as a failure.

I tried my best. But the truth is—I’m not a marketer. And that’s where I fell short. I didn’t do enough to get the word out.

Now I have to raise awareness for our e-commerce store. Totally doable but I don’t even know where to start.

These questions are a whole season. I love this question because I felt like I was the only one just starting out and that I was amongst veterans.

Awesome! How do you raise brand awareness if you’re on shelf and sold online and you have $0 marketing dollars? All my money goes to inventory and we’ve raised $348k and have $1000 in the bank

I’m not at 7 figures YET, but this is going on the goals board.

This is great because an investor just ripped us apart. She said the site doesn’t show how to use the product. I just filled out the form: https://privatepacks.com

Hi Everyone, does anyone have a good B2B/Wholesale Shopify App they like using? I’m not ready to upgrade my Shopify app from basic to use their Handshake portal.
