Hey everybody, I’m M21 and I just launched my new product about 3 days ago with the expectation that I’m just on time with Christmas coming up. I had about 200pcs of stock, but once I turned on Facebook Ads, the sales went crazy and I’m selling about 40/day…

On one side I’m extremely excited, on the other, what do I do when I sell out? Since I’m private labeling, restock will take about month and a half. I’m afraid that if I stop the ads, I won’t be able to start running after new years again. Is this a big deal? I’m totally fine with missing on profits throughout Christmas, however, I really believe in this product and I’m not sure if it will have the same momentum if I stop the campaign right now.

Should I sell out? Or should I lower the ad budget so much that I get just a couple of sales/day until I restock? And also, how big of a impact do Christmas have on sales at this time? I’m sure about beginning of December, has it already gone crazy now? What amount should I expect after new years in comparison to now? I think I just need reassurance. Thank you so much.

    A bit off topic, but does one need to know how to create or own a website to be able to sell online? I saw a few mention of product pages, but I’ve only done selling a few bits and bobs on eBay or FB marketplace. No idea how to even create a site

      Shopify? It’s really easy to set-up and fiverrr has some affordable devs who could quickly make one for it. It easily integrates with Etsy & PayPal. If u want something a bit less ‘plug & play’ but with more options, Wordpress is a scalable beginner-friendly option.

      Adding to other commentor wix is better than wordpress, a lot more user friendly.

      But Shopify i saw recently is offering free site to.sell your goods with Shopify.
