1. The Product

baby sock shoes ecomhunt

This week’s winning product are these super cute sock shoes for babies. With the right ad and the right targeting, this product is going to sell like crazy because parents simply cannot resist not buying stuff for their little ones!

But the product above isn’t really the product I am going to recommend you this week…

Why? Because these ones are a bit more suited when it’s still warm outside and we’re now approaching the Cold season so we’ll have to adjust our product choice a bit.

So instead of these exact baby sock shoes, I’m going to recommend a different product but quite similar.

This “new” product is simply the warmer version of the sock shoes for babies:

warm sock shoes

And I’ve found this product simply by clicking on the original Facebook ad that brought me(as you can see in the picture above) to this collection page with different variations of the same product.

So for this week’s trending product, I decided to do a bit of my own research and find you the perfect Warm version of the baby sock shoes on Aliexpress myself.

And here’s the real product recommendation for this week:

baby warm shoes on aliexpress

These winter baby shoes warm, adorable, and cheap which will let us price these shoes for an affordable price for our customers and still have a great profit margin!

We have plenty of styles we can pick from, although we’re not going to include all of them(will be explained later), and the reviews for this product are amazing which makes it safe to dropship this product.

Note:

I know that these shoes aren’t “sock shoes” but I still think these can sell really well this Winter. Feel free to pick up your own style to sell – There are plenty of great styles to choose from on Aliexpresss.

2. The Ad

baby sock shoes facebook ad

The product I recommend to sell is the warm version of these shoes, but we’re still going to review the original ad that is linked in the Ecomhunt product page.

It’s basically the same product so you can take inspiration from this ad and “COPY-PASTE” it but with your style and different scenarios(Winter, snow, etc.).

Video ad review:

In my opinion, I think the video ad is pretty well done…

If I were to order a video ad for this product and this was the final result, I would’ve approved the order and move on to creating my Facebook ad campaigns.

Although, I think the first 3-4 seconds of this video could use a couple of different variations. The baby walking down the stairs is cute but I would recommend testing a few more variations.

Maybe if we take the part where the sock is being put on on and put it at the beginning, we’ll see a better CTR and get more clicks. It’s definitely worth the test so make sure to do that with your video ads.

Other than that, there’s nothing else I would change or fix.

Ad copy:

baby sock shoes facebook ad copy

The ad copy is fine but it isn’t great… I think there’s too much emphasis on the “brand” and instead of that they could’ve explained a bit more about the product or simply have a shorter ad copy.

Go with something simple for your ad copy and don’t use too many emojis.

For example:

“Keep your little one’s feet warm this Winter with these super cute and warm baby shoes ❤️

Get yours here => *product page link*

Order today and get 50% OFF + Free Shipping!”

That’s it – Short and to the point.

3. The Store

baby sock shoes Shopify store

First of all, before I start reviewing the product page and everything that comes next, I want to talk about to where they transferred their store visitors when the link was clicked.

They advertised these baby sock shoes but transferred their customers to a collection page:

Sock shoes shopify collection page

The reasoning behind this move is to offer more options for their customers to choose from. But the problem with this strategy is that you increase the number of clicks needed to actually purchase the product.

The customer sees the ad for the regular baby sock shoes, he likes this version and proceeds to click on the link. Right after that, instead of seeing the advertised product, he sees a collection page with different sock shoes.

We have the Fruity version and the Furry-Friends version and even a Warm version… And when you finally choose a version, you have an enormous amount of styles and colors to choose from.

From my point of view, this is just MEGA confusing for the customer!

There’s a big chance the customers are having a hard time choosing the shoe they want and they just leave the store without buying.

On top of that, one of the versions doesn’t even have reviews which makes it look bad – Imagine a customer who actually wants a warm version but it has no reviews while other shoes have tons of them.

So if you want to advertise a different version, then do it as a different ad that points to a different product. The customer should always see the product advertised when he clicks the link.

Back to the product page review…

First of all, like I already said, there are too many versions of the same product which should be reduced:

too many variations baby sock shoes.jpg

You can easily offer up to 5 variations and this will be enough – Do some research on the Aliexpress product page to see which variations sell best and offer the top 4-5 of them and that’s it.

Your customers will have an easier time choosing the option they like the most and you’re going to see faster checkouts.

Product description:

product description baby sock shoes

The description could definitely use more pictures and GIFs.

Remember that the product description is here to make the customer fall in love with your product, so there’s need to be a story with pictures and GIFs.

Text only isn’t going to cut it out… You have to play on your customers emotions and show them just how awesome this product really is!

Reviews:

baby sock shoes reviews.jpg

The reviews for this product look fine to me and the only thing I would’ve changed is having more picture reviews at the front instead some of the text reviews.

Also, for the fruity version sock shoes, I would advise importing real photo reviews and not the ones that look like they were taken by a photographer(The furry version has real photo reviews).

4. The Checkout

checkout customer information page shopify

Before reviewing the checkout page, let me first show you how the Add to Cart button works on this store.

So instead of transferring the customer straight to the cart page, there’s a simple cart notification popup:

cart popup

Now don’t get this confused with a slider type of cart where the button there actually transfers you to the checkout page.

In this case, the customer need to basically click twice in order to move onto the cart page… And this, my dear readers, reduces the store’s conversion rate which eventually gets you less sales.

So when selling on your own store, make sure the Add to Cart button transfers your customers straight to the Cart page.

Let’s get back to the checkout review:

We have a logo, TOS links, and the phone number is optional which is perfect.

One small thing that needs a change is the text that says “shipping calculated at next step” beside the price.

Shipping is calculated at next step Shopify checkout

If you offer Free Shipping by default, this text should say that shipping is free to not confuse your customers.

Shipping page:

Shopify checkout shipping page

On the shipping page, we have the usual “insurance” upsell trick to squeeze a few extra bucks from the customers.

In my opinion, this is a double edged sword – On the one hand, it’s free money, but on the other hand, this could scare away potential customers who now fear about the product being damaged or not arriving at all.

If you feel like testing this insurance trick, then pay a good attention to your conversion rate to see if it’s really worth it.

Payment page:

Shopify payment page

Both Credit Card and PayPal are available and the annoying tipping section is disabled. There’s nothing wrong with the Payment page so there’s nothing to fix.

To Sum It Up

When it comes to kids and there’s an actual need for that product, parents will do everything in their power to buy it. And this product is definitely needed!

So choose your preferred Baby Winter Shoes, create a good video ad, and make sure to not the same mistakes on your store as this seller right here.

Implement the tips in this article and start making some sales this Christmas!

Despite Retail’s Resurgence, Malls Losing Relevance.

Despite the growth of traditional brick-and-mortar retail, shopping malls, particularly those of a lower tier, are having trouble maintaining their relevance.

While high-end developers command high square footage prices, class B, C, and D mall operators struggle to attract tenants and shoppers, according to a report by Insider Intelligence/eMarketer.

Mall traffic is still well below pre-pandemic levels. Moreover, the recovery of outlet malls, in particular, has been much slower than indoor and open-air malls, indicating that the prospect of a good deal is no longer enough to entice visitors.

According to Placer.ai, September traffic to indoor malls was 0.9% lower than the same month in 2019. Traffic to outlet malls fell by 4.5%.

Survey: Most Mobile Users Do Not Click on Google Search Results

0

A surprisingly large amount of users do not click through Google search results on their smartphones, according to a survey by Semrush.

More users click search results on desktop computers compared to mobile phones. In terms of search types, images are by far the most popular on mobile.

On desktop, 25.6% of searches result in “zero clicks,” according to the report. In terms of user behavior, this can mean a variety of things, but let’s start with the worst-case scenario: these “zero clicks” mean that the user found the answer on the Google Search Engine Results Pages and never went to a website.

The fact that Google provides URL-less content in the form of direct answers suggests that it is responding to a new demand for accessibility, says Semrush.

On Smartphones, Bigger Ads Mean More Attention

0

The average smartphone user pays 6.6 seconds of attention to mobile ads that cover 80% of the screen, according to a report by Yahoo and OMD Worldwide.

This is more than double the attention received by ads with 50% screen coverage and roughly eight times that of ads with less than 10% screen coverage.

Insider Intelligence/eMarketer

According to an analysis by Insider Intelligence/eMarketer, older audiences are more likely to pay attention.

The average attention span for mobile ads among smartphone users aged 18 to 24 is 2.1 seconds, compared to just 1.3 seconds for those aged 55 and over. To engage younger consumers on these screens, advertisers should emphasize immersive and interactive content.

How To Dropship FAST This Christmas 2022

0

Christmas is right around the corner and so is the opportunity to generate a lot of sales for your Dropshipping store. 

It is estimated that in 2022 holiday retail sales will increase by 3.3% to $1.262 trillion!

Not to mention Cyber Monday and Black Friday that are coming along the holidays, with Black Friday being the second biggest online spending day.

One of the most important things you need to consider in order to maximize your sales this year is shipping your products as fast as possible. 

And in this article we’ll cover how to do just that.

Table of contents:

Why faster shipping is so important

Customers are impatient, each one of us when shopping online expects our order to arrive as soon as possible. And we will look for the fastest way to get our order to our door. 

On holidays, customers are more impatient, and shipping times are even more crucial. 

Christmas shopping

That’s because customers now have a deadline, they need their order to arrive at the right time. If they are not certain the product will get to them on time, they will look somewhere else, until they find the place that ships it as fast as possible. 

And you need to make sure they choose you. 

Dropshipping with Aliexpress

Aliexpress is the first go to solution for most dropshippers. After all, it is easy to use, affordable, and has a huge selection of products. 

But its biggest issue is – very long shipping times.

Because Ali’s warehouses are located in china, orders take a very long time to get to the rest of the world. 

The standard shipping time takes about 15 to 45 working days! And even with their premium shipping packages take from 7 to 15 working days.  

Like was mentioned before, most people are not willing to wait that long, especially if they can find the same product somewhere else with a shorter delivery time. 

That only can risk your dropshipping business, and you’ll be putting yourself at a great disadvantage considering the holiday season. 

Check out our YouTube video to learn more about dropshipping from Aliexpress:

How to reduce delivery times

There are a few factors that determine how long it will take to ship a product to the customer:

  1. Processing time
  2. Supplier location
  3. Shipping options

Each of these factors is discussed below.

Processing time

The overall delivery time of a package is a sum of the processing time and the shipping time. 

The processing time is the time it takes to process an order and ship it.

Each supplier has a different processing time, so it is up to your responsibility to choose the right supplier in an attempt to delay the delivery time as little as possible. 

Supplier location

The process of shipping is getting a package from point A to point B. the farther away the points are from each other, the longer it will take for the package to reach its destination. 

If the main audience you’re selling to is in the USA but your supplier is in China, you are dramatically extending your shipping time. 

For this reason, finding local suppliers is the best way to reduce your shipping times. If we compare it to Dropshipping from Aliexpress where it usually takes 2-4 weeks for a package to arrive, with local suppliers you can bring it down to just a few days.

Shipping options

Different shipping options offer different shipping times. Whichever logistics provider you choose is up to you and different platforms (like Aliexpress) in different locations (such as china) will have their own variety of providers. 

Shipping carriers

We won’t go into detail about the different companies and their services. This is just to bring to your awareness what can determine the shipping times of a certain product.

As a rule of thumb, Standard shipping usually takes longer, about 14-60 days. While third party logistics providers take 3-25 days.

The solution

All of these challenges can be faced easily by choosing the right dropshipping supplier that will provide a faster shipping time. 

Our recommendation: Spocket 

Spocket is a platform that provides shipping solutions and winning products for dropshippers. 

Spocket

Since most of Spocket’s suppliers are from the US and EU, delivery time is a lot shorter and is usually between 2-5 days.

You can minimize shipping time by choosing suppliers that are close to the location of your customers. You can find different suppliers by their location and choose whichever one has the shortest shipping time. 

The estimated arrival times are specified in every product page. 

Their processing time is also fairly short, about 1-3 business days. Just for comparison, Aliexpress’s processing time is between 3-8 business days. 

Spocket can be easily integrated into a number of ecommerce platforms such as Shopify and Woocommerce. This makes transferring products and managing your store possible in just a few clicks. 

Quality control

One thing Spocket are well known for is their strict product quality control.

5 star reviews

Having suppliers from the US and Europe also contributes to keeping the product quality high. Knowing that the suppliers and vendors meet such high standards, means you don’t have to worry about any product being a scam or defective.  

Dropshipping high quality products will also make sure customers will gain trust in you and will keep buying more. 

This is another thing that dropshipping with Aliexpress really lacks, they do not have a quality control policy and they allow the sellers to manage their product’s quality as they please.

That’s an bigger problem than the long shipping time because there are circumstances in which customers are willing to wait longer for a product. 

It is usually in a scenario where the product is very unique or solves a particular problem.

Spocket winning products

In that case customers have very high expectations, and if the product does not meet those expectations, the customer will be very disappointed and frustrated and will probably never buy from you ever again. 

That’s why having a dropshipping solution like Spocket is incredibly helpful. This will save you so much time and effort of looking for the right suppliers and having to keep testing their products.

Pricing

After a free 14-days trial, you can start using Spocket for $24.99 per month. There are also more advanced plans that let you sell more products and have different added benefits:

  • The pro plan at $49.99/month or $24/month if paid annually. 
  • The empire plan at $99.99/month or $57/month if paid annually.
  • The unicorn plan at $299/month or $79/month if paid annually. 
Spocket price plan

There’s also a free plan but it’s only for browsing their catalog so I wouldn’t consider it as a part of their subscription plans. 

Spocket pros & cons

Pros

  • Faster shipping
  • Suppliers from different parts of the world
  • Order samples for quality control
  • Can be integrated with ecommerce platforms like Shopify and Woocommerce
  • Optimized order fulfillment 
  • Trusted suppliers
  • Automated order processing
  • Pricing process can be automated 

Cons

  • Packaging is not customizable
  • Can not be integrated with major marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay
  • There is no free plan for selling with Spocket
  • You can’t contact suppliers directly

Conclusion

Long shipping times are a concern for many dropshippers, especially towards the holidays.

In this situation dropshipping with Aliexpress will be in most cases to your disadvantage, mainly for two reasons: One is long shipping times and second is poor quality control.

For this reason, it is recommended to consider alternative dropshipping supplier solutions.

Spocket is definitely the ultimate choice for your dropshipping business.

They have faster shipping times and better product quality. They basically solve any of the major drawbacks Dropshippers face with Aliexpress. 

And yes it is a pricier option, but if your business success is important to you then making investments is part of the game. And this one will be worth it.

Crypto Winter Could Turn Icy

0

Following a spectacular crash earlier this year, the crypto industry’s most popular tokens have gone to sleep, implying that amateur investors have lost interest in the once thrilling asset class and large funds have decided to stay away, reported the Financial Times on Friday.

Bitcoin, the most valuable token, has been mostly trading around $20,000 since August, after peaking near $70,000 a year ago. Ether, the second largest cryptocurrency, has not recovered since its environmental overhaul in September.

According to the analytics platform CryptoCompare, bitcoin’s average annualised volatility has now reached its lowest level since October 2020.

The drop in token prices was initially labeled a “crypto winter” — one of the market’s periodic dips. However, given the length of this now-drab phase, as well as the thousands of job losses in the sector in recent months, this appears to be more of an ice age, with no grand theories emerging as the next source of fuel for rallies, according to the report.

Meta to Expand Ability for Brands to Search for Stolen Content on Facebook, Instagram

0

Meta is giving new options for businesses to detect whether other accounts on Facebook and Instagram are using their intellectual property.

According to a report in the Search Engine Journal, Meta’s Brand Rights Protection service is being updated with improved search capability, allowing businesses and brands to search by picture. The tool will find different sorts of material using that image, such as postings on Facebook and Instagram.

Businesses can report content using their intellectual property without authorization, leading Meta to investigate and remove the infringing content.

This new search feature is part of a series of enhancements to Meta’s Brand Rights Protection service, which is only available to firms with registered trademarks.

The tool will now allow brands to search and report on Facebook Pages, profiles, groups, and Instagram accounts.

NFTs, Cryptocurrency Trending Down

0

According to Google Trends, the search term NFT (non-fungible tokens) and the topic of Cryptocurrency are trending downward.

NFT’s hit a high in January this year and since then have dropped in interest. Meanwhile, Cryptocurrency has been steadily declining in interest over the past 12 months from highs last year. Below is the Google Trends graph for NFT over the past 12 months:

Google Trends, search term NFT

Below is the graph for Cryptocurrency over the past 12 months according to Google Trends:

Google Trends, search topic Cryptocurrency

Grid recently ran an article titled: “Is the NFT boom over? What CNN dropping out says about the future of the Web3 product.”

The article states: “As recently as this summer, these digital files — properly known as non-fungible tokens — were trading for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Collectors eagerly snapped up NFT versions of everything from cat memes and the cartoon monkeys of the Bored Ape Yacht Club to serious artwork, all preserved on the same blockchain technology that underlies Cryptocurrency. That changed this summer: From May to July, the average NFT sale price dropped from $3,894 to $293.”

This could be a case of the shiny object syndrome, an ongoing belief that something new is worth pursuing and comes at the expense of existing plans. It is like a child that always wants a new toy.

E-commerce will Boost Air Freight Demand, says Air Cargo Handler CEO

0

The CEO of one of the world’s top air cargo handlers dismissed the dismal global trade forecast, stating that the growth of e-commerce and increased demand for speedier delivery are pushing a long-term trend toward delivering products by plane.

“Because of e-commerce . . . there’s definitely a shift that is structural, that is permanent,” Worldwide Flight Services chief executive Craig Smyth told the Financial Times.

He stated that air cargo, traditionally a minor component of the global supply chain, was becoming increasingly important as more shipping companies invested in aircraft fleets.

Online shopping deliveries now account for one-fifth of all freight moved by WFS in several parts of the world.

Smyth sees the recent slowdown in world trade as “temporary,” according to the report. He admitted that WFS was beginning to feel the effects of consumers cutting back on spending and that profits in the second half of 2022 are projected to be flat compared to the previous year. However, he emphasized that the company’s long-term outlook was positive.

Travel Niche Rebounds Post-Covid

0

A third of US adults indicated they will travel this holiday season, while another quarter said they are likely to do so.

According to data in September from the Out of Home Advertising Association of America, 34% of US adults plan to travel this upcoming holiday season. Another 25% said they would probably travel, and 41% answered no.

Insider Intelligence/eMarketer

According to a report by Insider Intelligence/eMarketer, the travel industry will spend 22.5% more this year on digital advertising than in 2021.

“Only one other industry will increase spending faster (retail), but travel will remain the smallest spender among the industries we track,” stated the report.
