The most successful brands are built in “crisis”

IBM - economic downturn of 1911

Disney - Great depression 1929 

FedEx - Oil Crisis of 1970 

They didn’t survive they started and thrived…

Seeing what most could not….

For us eCommerce brands

Here are 7 simple steps to not only survive but thrive in a tariff war…

1. Sourcing 

Don't rely on a single country or supplier. Have a main supplier and find a second as a back.

2. Nearshoring or Reshoring

Investigate bringing production closer to your customer base. Reduced transit times and potentially lower tariff impact are significant advantages.

3. Inventory Strategy

Reduce excessive stock floating. Order what you need every 4-6 weeks reducing your inventory management fees for holding stock you don’t need.

4. Pricing 

Shopify allows you to adjust your pricing per country, increase your pricing as needed to countries heavily impacted by the tariffs.

5. Explore new markets (big one)

Getting customers in one country alone always has risk associated with it. Explore market like Europe and Asia to acquire customers cheaper and with less involvement in the tariff war.

6. Move Product Less

Most brands send their product from manufacturer > then to the country of sale in a 3PL > then to the Customer.

Explore sending your product to a china based 3PL completely removing the cost of shipping all units twice.

7. Focus on Value & Differentiation

 Compete on more than just price. Emphasize unique selling propositions, exceptional customer service, and strong brand building.

Marketing has the ability to direct desire not create it...

if you've wondered why your business that you tried didn't take off 

it's probably due to one of these three reasons 

1. You had the wrong offer (products or services people don't want) 

2. You had the wrong messaging (ads that don't speak to your desire) 

3. You spoke to the wrong person (selling hotdogs to yoga obsesses moms) 

Here are my 7 steps to a build one person business that bound to hit 1 milionnnaaaa

1. Confirm Demand 

Find a product that has 100,000 people 

or more searching for it a month with yearly growth of atleast 3%+

2. Passion over product

People buy from people not from brands.

 Pick something you’re proud to get behind and talk about everyday

Reflect on hobbies, skills, and problems you enjoy solving. 

Research related markets for viability and your unique angle.
 
3. Rule of three

Spend the majority of your time understanding 

how to make the right offer > to the right person > with the right messaging.

4. know your numbers

Identify your dream income level.

 Then calculate the year, monthly and weekly revenue & profit

 that will help you get to where you want to go.

 This will give you a clear path with an end destination.

5. Build a waitlist

Master the art of acquiring customers first, 

this will solve your biggest problem before you spend money buying stock. 

Study your competitors, 

where they get customers, 

what they offer and where they send their traffic to.

6. The feedback loop 

Get customers quickly, 

this will allow you to improve the product 

as quickly as possible.

7. Be Everywhere All the time

Focus on the places where your customers are, 

your competitors will give you the quickest answer. 

Google & Facebook are going to be the main players in majority of markets.

7 months into running Google ads

I put money into it 

It spat money out 

It was that simple.

"incredible" I used to think. 

The days of running paid ads only are slowly changing. 

The space is getting more crowded

customers more picky 

Less trusting...

With the rise of social commerce 

the e-commerce space is changing 

Slowly but fast at the same time. 

With the rise of social media consumption 

People are purchasing right off social media

making the rise of social media content even more important than ever before

The data is only getting more clear 

Content truly is king 

with 8.5 trillion dollars forecasted to be made on social 
commerce

(people buying off Facebook instead of roaming around looking for the best price on Google)

What does this mean?

Content is important

Creating content at the top of the priority list for brands now...

customer problems.

organic search results receive significantly more clicks than paid ads. 

For example, some studies show that 70-80% of users ignore paid search results and click only on organic results.

5 Things I Wish I Knew When Starting My eCommerce Brand:

Did you know nearly 50% of Americans dream of starting a business, 

but only 16% actually do? 

If you're one of the courageous few who took the leap,

 here are 5 truths I learned the hard way:

Celebrate the Start: 

Launching your business is a significant achievement.

 Take a moment to acknowledge it! 

But remember, it's just the beginning.

Find a Guide: 

With nearly 80% of businesses failing within 20 years, 

mentorship is crucial. 

Seek out someone with 20+ years of experience. 

Whether you pay them, ask them, or find another way to get their guidance, 

it's worth it. 

My mentor helped me scale my business from 

$5,000 to $220,000 per month

 in just two months.

Embrace Failure: 

Failure is not a setback,

 it's a critical learning opportunity. 

Building a sustainable business is a marathon, not a sprint. 

A long-term vision allows you to see mistakes as valuable improvements.

Have Fun! 

Business doesn't have to be synonymous with anxiety. 

Slow down and enjoy the process.

 Identify and eliminate the sources of stress, 

whether they are unrealistic goals 

or overcommitments.

Prioritize Learning Over Earning (Initially): 

This is tough, especially when you're focused on quarterly profits. 

But for the first two years, at least, focus on gaining knowledge and experience.
