hi thanks for the comment, our pricing is primarily around comparable companies, we didn't want to price ourselves higher than the competition as we are new entrants.

Hi Hackernews, my name is Mert and a long time lurker. My partner and I decided to build a direct to consumer ecommerce brand due to some of the downtime we've had from our regular jobs.

Knowing the amazing community of growth hackers and tech people. It would mean a lot to us if we got some feedback on how we can improve and grow our business, especially on how we can grow with ad buying etc. Any critique is welcome and look forward to any comments.

Regards Mert

hi thanks for the feedback really appreciate it! The currency converter automatically changes to the website visitors' region. TBH, we haven't had a huge amount of enquiries from Indian customers but we actually do ship it there, for the trouble here is a 15% off coupon (FUNNY15%!). I've set up shipping to India so pls let me know if you would still like to purchase. Thanks

that's a terrible way to run a business...they should just own it or fix the problem and charge whatever is fair. Tricking the users will bite them in the ass

I wish they would actually address this issue in the OP's link. None of the reddit ad reps have responded to this and it's quite a shame they haven't yet...

that's super awesome to hear as a small business owner. My gf and I started http://buyfunnyaprons.com/ and running ads on IG and FB have been the only way to get exposure. FB's targeting is super advanced and allows smaller guys like us to compete with the corporates (since we can't buy traditional media like tv ads or billboards).

i think this is a pretty cool app - there is a community you haven't really considered that would jump at this. The finance (particularly investment bankers, private equity folks) and consulting employees. They love to stroke each others' egos and show their spreadsheet and excel proficiency to others.

The whole no mouse thing is so engrained in their culture that there are even memes and hundreds of posts around communities like Wall Street Oasis around this. Consider appealing to that demographic and I am certain you will get many more downloads.
