Hey everyone 👋 With Christmas coming up fast, I’ve been trying to test a few new product ideas to take advantage of the seasonal spike… but honestly, it feels like a gamble right now. Some products look like they’ll explode during Q4, but when I run test ads, the results are all over the place. A few good clicks, some adds to cart here and there, but nothing consistent enough to scale. I’m curious how others here approach this period because I don’t want to: Waste money testing products too late. Miss out on trends by moving too slowly Or pick a product that can’t even be delivered on time 😭. For those who’ve been through multiple Q4 cycles… 👉 What’s your strategy when it comes to testing new products before Christmas? Do you start early? Test aggressively? Stick to proven winners? Or look for last-minute trend spikes? Really hoping to hear how others navigate this because every decision feels like a hit or miss right now.

Hey everyone 👋 I’ve been noticing a pattern in my store lately. I’m getting quite a good number of visitors adding products to their carts, but they never actually complete the purchase. I’ve been thinking of testing a few follow-up strategies, but I wanted to get some feedback from other experienced store owners here. Here’s what I had in mind: Send a reminder email or message the next day after they add to cart, just to remind them their product is still waiting. On the second day, offer a small incentive, maybe a discount or free shipping to encourage checkout. If they still don’t complete the purchase, I was thinking of sending a weekend discount (20–30%) to make it more appealing. Do you think this is too much follow-up or just enough to nudge them? And what’s been working best for you all in recovering abandoned carts? Would love to hear how others handle this.

Hi everyone 🤗. I’m Vivienne, a stay-at-home mom of two. While most of my day is filled with mom duties, I’ve been quietly building something of my own through e-commerce. It’s been my little “secret project” that keeps me learning, growing, and excited about what’s possible outside of the usual 9–5. I joined this community to connect with others who are also on this journey, and to soak up as much knowledge as I can about building strong brands. Looking forward to sharing, learning, and growing together with you all

This is the result of working with the right experts, staying consistent, and never being afraid to reinvest back into my business and other ventures. Every step forward is proof that smart investments, dedication, and the right team can take your vision to new heights. Grateful for the growth, but this is only the beginning. The focus is always on scaling higher and creating bigger opportunities.

I made my first $2K in a month with Shopify after lots of late nights testing and tweaking. Once it hit, it proved my store worked—and from there, it was all about scaling. If you’re thinking of starting, now’s the time
