Started an original mobile accessory online store in Sri Lanka 1 month ago. Good ads and inquiries, but ZERO sales. What am I doing wrong?
Hey everyone,
I started an online store in Sri Lanka exactly one month ago selling original branded mobile accessories & gadgets.
I built a really high quality, professional website and have been running Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ads with attractive promotions.
Here is my problem:
I am getting inquiries when I run ads, but absolutely zero sales. People message me to ask about products, but nobody actually buys.I’m trying to figure out where the disconnect is.
A few things I'm wondering:
Is it too early to judge? Since it’s only been 1 month, am I just being impatient? Sri Lankans can be skeptical about "original branded" items online because there are so many fakes out there. The ads bring people in but something is stopping them from crossing the finish line.
If you run an e commerce business in Sri Lanka, or if you are someone who buys mobile accessories, what would make you trust a new online store? What should I do next to get my very first sale?
Would love honest or advices. Thanks!
