    I think because I’m using “sizes” and “styles” to illustrate what I’m saying in the video, my actual goal is unclear.
    The goal isn’t to use a spreadsheet and say “We need to get more size 6s and Mens 13s today.” The goal is increase the amount of pairs we are offering.
    I have over 2000 items available in the store, but to hit the numbers I want, the most direct path is growing the store while maintaining/improving the quality.
    So we are currently reinvesting so we can hit 3000 pairs in the future and then 4000 pairs beyond that.
    The size and styles ranges will come naturally through that process.
    Hopefully this makes it a little more clear.

    You’re on the right track, make sure you don’t get sidetracked.

    This was such an interesting conversation! I go back and forth all the time between focusing on shoes and adding in clothes. I’m not as efficient when I do both, but I enjoy mixing it up. As we head into a new year, I need to sit down and plan out systems and organization that work if I want to do both. Happy Holidays to you and your family. I always enjoy watching your videos.

      I just moved my clothing photo set up downstairs, so I can now do shoes and clothing in the same area. I like the idea of selling both since it makes me more valuable as a buyer to my suppliers and lets me maximize sourcing trips... but it massively increases the amount of time I spend per store. Definitely something I'm still working on...

    As far as tops...sweatshirts are becoming a favorite. Even sold a few during the summer which is also when you find the best ones.

      I love sweatshirts and jackets. I started the shirts because I caught a few great sales in the category, but those are my true loves.

    What helped me with messages for a category choice, is I have in each listing “copy and paste this link to see all of the xyz” that way they can go to the category & look 👀. But when cross posting have to remember to remove

    I feel you are over thinking this. All you have to do is keep adding the best shoes you can get for the best price. Best shoes = more desirable(higher sell through rate). Best price = a higher spread(higher profit). If you constantly add these items your money will increase exponentially. Who cares about having a big selection of size 13 shoes. You just want to focus on adding shoes that sell faster at a higher profit. Then, just grow at a pace where you are able to add inventory and save at the same time. That's it.

      I have 2500 items available in the store, but to hit the numbers I want, the store has to grow while maintaining or improving quality.
      Our goal is to raise the store to 3000 items and then reevaluate and push to 3500 items.

    That makes total sense. Without being a licensed distributor, what are your plans to get styles with all size ranges? We don't have a lot of choices in the secondhand market. I take what I can get.

    • @Isaiahtmn

      Fortunately the path is pretty straight forward for us.
      Due to our capital being limited, we have a very tight sourcing budget. As of now, we can only add 140 or so pairs to the store per week.
      As we get more total cash, we’ll have to choose to either maintain the store size and save the extra money or invest that money into more growth.
      By reinvesting… eventually I can purchase 175 pairs a week. 200 pairs a week. 250 pairs a week.
      This should naturally cause us to have more shoes available for the most common sizes/styles and should give us more opportunities to collect desirable pairs in the less common sizes/styles.

      I switched out the batteries in the smoke detector in this room a while ago, but after reading your comment I found out that there was one upstairs in a room we don’t even use that needed a battery change 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
      Thanks so much!!

      @Isaiahtmn  4 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I usually spend about $15 per day on gas. Yesterday, I went sourcing for eBay and put $15 of gas in the tank afterwards. During the two hours of dashing, we used less than 1/4th the tank or so. So what’s that $3 or so??

    You are in the pre owned shoe business right? The issue is not your stock. People always want something more. That's not bad it just is. Maybe a better job of educating your client. Being clearer that this is the shoe and size your have right now. Send a message to follow store and check back often.

    • @Isaiahtmn
      @Isaiahtmn  4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I tell customers to follow and check back in every communication I have with them. It’s a good practice!
      However, If I don’t have the styles nor size they want, why should/would that customer follow through on that?
      If they did follow the store and when they check back after several weeks you still don’t have what they are looking for, then why continue following and checking the store?
      eBay tells us how much customer interest we had during any given period of time. There were 37,772 times in the last 31 days where a customer clicked on one of my listings.
      And there were 4,307 instances where someone actually entered my store, we didn’t sell 4300 pairs, 2100 pairs, nor 1000 pairs, not even 750 pairs because many of those customers didn’t see anything they wanted.
      It might just be how it is, but because it’s reality, the business doesn’t generate nearly as much money as it could even though the customers were there with their wallets.

      @@Isaiahtmn but you’re a preowned shoe seller. You’re not a retail store. You’re trying to solve a problem that’s not truly a problem. Just pick up the (best) shoes, brand, size… list them and you will make sales. Would it be nice to have variations for repeat customers? Sure but it’s not necessary to have a super successful preowned shoe store on eBay. For sure overthinking but I enjoy the talk! lol
