The idea that helps E-commerce store owners

E-commerce store owners want to expand their reach to global markets. However, they can't get it because they struggle with international shipping logistics and costs..

How to find E-commerce store owners

You can get insights about the pain points of e-commerce store owners if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where e-commerce store owners hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of e-commerce store owners, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Cross-Border E-commerce Expansion Platform.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
