Coming from a drop-shipping background made me rely on new customer revenue
There is no such thing as considering LTV when drop-shipping, your LTV is actually less than your AOV because typically customers will purchase only once and then then you have to factor in your return

Post purchase strategies are key. It’s like the iceberg effect. People can see what you’re doing publicly (ad library, website etc) they try to copy and can’t scale like you. Little do they know you have a 5 step post purchase upsell funnel, 10 step post purchase upsell email

See so many beginners selling fashion like this because it’s what gurus are preaching. Can be easy to get sales yes but don’t fall for it. This take is 100% accurate
This won't work, you can run it profitable a week and then have 3% chargeback on it and 20-30% refunds, if u sell complex clothing where product fabric quality is 0 that's what u gonna deal with, don't fall for it, chase long term and if you do fashion make sure you make it right
