Hey, I’m David, CEO of Neiro Object’s 👋

We’re currently running into some packaging issues. We’re planning to launch a limited collection of 90 pieces, along with around 150 boxes (the extra 60 are just in case something goes wrong—because, let’s be honest, something always does 😅).

The problem is that most Alibaba suppliers have a MOQ of 500 pcs for customization, and we really don’t want to end up with hundreds of boxes just sitting there collecting dust and judging our life decisions.

So… if anyone reading this can help—do you know of any suppliers with low MOQ options? I’m totally fine with paying a bit more per unit if it means not turning my storage space into a cardboard museum.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

I own a few retail liquidation stores and have been in the industry for 30+ years.

I want to expand online but need to figure out how. I was thinking of first starting off with clothing but am unsure if it makes sense.

I get thousands of items in at a 50% profit margin avg piece of clothing retails for 15+ tax.

I want to see if I can have a system to sell online but need advice on how to do it.

My inventory changes frequently so I’m looking for ideas and advice.

Hey guys,

I just started running Facebook Ads for the first time.
I got 14 link click but 0 sales so far.

Not sure if this is normal or if my problem is the ad, the product page, or the offer.

Any advice would help, thanks.

I am trying to connect with brands that sell online. I am doing cold emails.

I want to connect with them, because I have to do some market research.

Does anyone know how to connect with them.

What ROAS do you need to break even - and what ROAS makes you profitable with Meta ads?

We sell at $149 with ~ $60 profit per sale. Trying to understand if this model can realistically be profitable.

I have been in web scraping, now moving into price monitoring, alert, comparison for E-commerce or brands space.

I don't know how to connect with brands and offer them my services.

Current, doing this for free to understand the need and market.

If anyone here know how to crack it. Please help me

Amazon PPC is not expensive.

Bad PPC is expensive.

There’s a difference.

If your campaigns are:

• Broad
• Unstructured
• Low conversion traffic

You’re not running ads.
You’re donating money to Amazon.

Structure decides profitability.

Not budget alone.

Mine was wasting ad spend for months without realizing it.

Campaigns looked “active,” so I assumed everything was fine.

But when I analyzed profitability properly… it was ugly.

A lot of keywords were completely inefficient.

Wish I had understood PPC structure earlier.

That experience taught me that activity doesn’t equal optimization.

Curious what expensive lessons other sellers learned?

Ecommerce entrepreneurs scaling from 1 to 10 stores and operations leads often focus heavily on sales targets while overlooking rising hidden costs multiple tool subscriptions, manual processes, dev hours for integrations and poor data visibility.

Retail store owners transitioning from brick-and-mortar frequently underestimate how fragmented systems affect fulfillment efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Luxury and niche brand owners in jewelry or furniture face additional pressure when generic experiences fail to match their brand standards. Many don’t realize these inefficiencies are quietly draining margins until growth slows.

Have you calculated the real total cost of running your current ecommerce setup beyond just the platform fee?

100 million people, a median age of 32, and for many users Facebook essentially is the internet. CPMs are capped at around $2.

The real challenge is that nothing that works elsewhere directly translates to this market.

There’s no copy-paste strategy. The ones who are winning have rebuilt everything from scratch: payment infrastructure, content creation, and local partnerships.

The result: CACs as low as $4 for beauty supplements.

D2C wellness brand selling natural supplements. Goal was simple — make paid ads profitable and scalable, not just “get traffic."

What we did : Ran Meta conversion campaigns (purchase objective) with CBO from day 1 Focused heavily on video + testimonial creatives (this was the biggest lever) Built a proper remarketing layer (site visitors + cart abandoners) Synced Meta Pixel + Shopify properly (most accounts mess this up) Continuous A/B testing on creatives + landing pages

Numbers: ~36K+ sessions generated 600+ total orders Conversion rate: ~1.6% Paid ads drove ~170 tracked purchases Cost per purchase stayed consistently low (sub-$5 equivalent range) ROAS: ~4x (stable, not spike-based)

What actually moved the needle: UGC/testimonial creatives outperformed static by a big margin CBO helped scale without blowing up CPA Retargeting wasn’t optional — it closed a large chunk of conversions Consistency > hacks (daily small optimizations beat big changes)

Big takeaway: This wasn’t some viral product or insane budget play. It was just: good creative + clean tracking + disciplined scaling. Once those 3 clicked, performance became predictable.

If you’re stuck at breakeven or volatile ROAS, chances are it’s not your ad account — it’s your creative + funnel alignment.

Happy to break down anything deeper if needed.
