I'm not sure where to begin. I'm a serial entrepreneur, and 20 or so year long digital nomad. Among the few online businesses I've launched over the years, one is closest to heart- and... it has been struggling from the start. In short, we offer customers the ability to buy virtually any products from Japanese websites. Japanese websites are generally off-limits to customers outside of Japan ("Don't speak Japanese? No address in Japan? Forget about it.") Demand for Japanese goods is massive (as my other businesses have demonstrated for years). However, everything from the user interface, to functional limitations we've faced over the years (searching for Japanese products listed on Japanese websites (in Japanese of course) is nearly impossible when entry on our website is in Roman alphabet)). We've created some workarounds, but they're weak. In any case: we have a little over 1000 registered customers, but only several orders per day. Traffic is low. SEO is quite poor (due to the fact we don't have our own content but simply display 'on demand' results from searches customers perform on our site). My development team (2 developers) is in Vietnam. Great guys, but- I sometimes feel the quality of work is poor. Don't get me wrong: there are both great, and time-wasting people in every part of the world. We continue to operate on a minor loss (around $1000-2000 in the red) every month. I feel that the business needs a breath of fresh energy- new ideas, a new vision, and above all- leadership. A leader who is willing to execute his/her ideas. I'm not seeking a consultant or a standard 'do this, do that' person. I have a decent idea of what the business needs, and lacks. I'm seeking someone who will be able to take over the reigns, and transform the business. Someone who'll understand our clients. Someone who will treat every dollar spent on the business as if it were their own. I'm not seeking an AdWords 'specialist' or a Facebook marketer: tried those, lost over $10,000 and gained little- if anything. I understand this is a challenge (turning around a business that's just 'floating' is never easy). I'm looking for fresh ideas, a hands on approach. Above all: I am looking for measurable results. I'm not interested in bleeding the business further, in exchange for "this will work in a few months, you'll see". I'm not naive either: I understand some strategies take time. But one of the luxuries of the internet age, is that effective actions can and often do show results the moment you push that piece of code to the server. Finally, please do not send generic "Dear Sir, We have read and understood your requirements fully, and we promise we will not sleep or eat until all your expectations will be met." You know who you are (sadly, 80% of the generic cut and paste offers here). Talk to me. Charm me. Convince me- the same way you'd convince potential clients our service is worth checking out. One item to note: our biggest problem is that no one knows about us. Once customers try our service, our repeat customer rate is very impressive (higher than any other business I've led in my life). People who try the service, like it. Problem is, getting the word out there. Regarding competitors, there are some- but not many. Some among them, yield revenues in excess of $1 million/day (they display their sales volume on their home page). The market is there. The customers are out there. How can you help us go to that next level? Please provide some details on how you plan to help us turn around, strategies you'd implement, how you'd implement them, would you require additional budget to implement these strategies, would you manage the people responsible for their implementation? What results can you propose after month 1, month 2, month 3? And importantly, would your salary be contingent upon these goals being met? PJ [login to view URL]

Hi there, I am an experienced management consultant and can help you turn around your e-commerce business.I have advanced expertise with helping companies strategize their business in order to help them succeed within their industry. I have worked with many sectors including fashion, e-commerce, real estate development, retail, app development and more; and I am confident that I can provide you with the re-structuring you need. I would need to discuss with you further to get to know the business a little bit more and provide more insight, but based on your post, I can spot a couple of problems here : 1) "No one knows about us" - that indicates that you have a very low brand awareness and/or that your website is poorly designed and requires a more modern layout that is clear, concise, straight to the point and lets visitors know immediately who you are and what you do. 2) "Poor SEO" - if you are using stock images descriptions have to be customized and custom descriptive, there are also ways to redesign the site in order to make the products look like it actually comes from a legit supplier and not just some random e-commerce websites 3) If you have 1000 subscribers via email - have you thought about launching frequent marketing e-mail campaigns and offering those subscribers discounts on your products. It's also important to focus on growing that list so that you can raise your brand awareness and acquire a bigger market share overtime. I reached the limit to type please msg

Hi, Thanks for your taking the time to read my proposal. I have enough experience in web development. Most customers are feeling difficult when searching the result on your website, right? You need to change the structure of your website to handle some technical problems. I believe your website is base on any PHP framework or cms. I'd like to discuss more detail over chat. I am able to convince you. Looking forward to your reply. Best regards.

Dear PJ, I would love to help you with your challenge! I am brand new to Freelancer and this whole world as have spent the majority of my career building and improving businesses for a Global Pharma company. I specialize in turning around poor performing businesses anywhere in the world. One of my favorites was taking a poor performing operation in our Singapore office and optimizing the customer demand and the backoffice services to turn around the operation within 3 months. As I mentioned I am putting my toe in the water as I am semi-retired but looking for something to keep me occupied when I get bored building on my mountain cabin in NC. Happy to talk.

Dear PJ, I have to be honest, you really caught my attention with your post. You described your issues very clearly. You mentioned that you won't accept any generic "cut and paste offers" and you're asking to be charmed, convinced. You want to see plan, strategy, proposed results. BUT in my opinion you need to realize that before anyone can give you answers you asked for, you need to answer few deeper questions for a marketer to be able to solve all your issues. I believe anyone who claims different is just talking the talk. I would ask you first: - How come you're losing 1-2k a month? Are you employing those developers full-time? - Who do you have in your team? - What was your best selling product so far? - Why are you trying to sell so many products? - What information do you have about your customer base? - Can you access your previous campaigns? The data. To avoid the mistakes that have been done already. - What markets have you been targeting? - Who is your competition? You mentioned they had "revenues in excess of $1 million/day". What do they sell? Japanese cars? - Why is your website half English/ half Japanese? Menu is in English, product description in Japanese. You website would need redesign. Your affiliate link goes into 404 Error. If you're willing to talk and to answer these questions please let me know. So we can schedule a call. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to give plans, strategies, proposed results etc. Thank you. Best Regards, David

Hi. I am a business owner like yourself and have a few businesses in Costa Rica. When I started my first online shops, I failed miserably. I am not ashamed to say that since I have learned a lot from my mistakes and even today I still learn on a daily basis. I love developing and launching new concepts as well. What you did with Kupiku is quite clever and simple. If I am not mistaken your company is an intermediary who receives locally and ships internationally. Anyhow, I agree there is a large Japanese friendly community out there and there are many ways to exploit this. Unlike the usual Facebook and adwords, sometimes the best approach can be old school too. First we would need to find out our customer base demographic and then segment who are the ones with higher return. Then we focus on them and use that niche as a hook to enter the big market. We will set up milestones and a general strategy. As the months goes, we will adapt our methods to those who respond most. This is just the beginning, but a lot of work has to be done on the sales strategy side. Honestly from one entrepreneur to another, I would like to know more about this project before we commit. Nonetheless my proposal is $3000 and I will use part of that fund as R&D to your sales side of the business. Hope we to hear back from you and possibly work together. Regards, Fernando Fung
