The First $10K: Before and After – What’s the Difference?

The Low Hanging Fruit

A company that hasn’t achieved the $10K monthly milestone is most likely leaving low hanging fruit on the tree.

To leverage the brand’s low hanging fruit, companies often tap into:

Singular Focus

Laser focused attention is much easier when you’re on your way to $10K per month.

When that focus is 100% on growing the company, you don’t need to outsource or hire a lot.

Although it’s awesome once you begin consistently achieving $10K, you’re growing and things get hairy. The next phase – for the foreseeable future - is entirely different.

After $10K, you need to begin outsourcing or hiring internally for something like marketing or sales.

Whatever you are focused on is going to be amplified.

Something has to give.

Why $10K is an Interesting Number

Most founders are hoping to take $10K per month home at some point.

For that to happen, some eCommerce businesses realistically need to be making almost 10x that amount when you're factoring in Cost Of Goods and Operating Expenses. It certainly takes time to get that momentum going.

When you really think about cost of goods sold, you’re going to need help figuring out how to make more to have more to go around.

Sounds brutal, but once you get to $10K, it’s time to get serious and ask some tough questions:

What It Means to Have a Next Level Mindset

Once you get to $10K and prove that you can function beyond that point, then the goal is to become the product that gets added to the cart among a large competitive marketplace. In simple terms - it's time to start thinking about market share.

Let’s say you’re starting and spending 100-200 per day. Now it’s time to have a long-term focus and understand that if you aren’t seeing sales on that particular day, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Especially in the ramp-up period, you are purchasing other things with your ad spend:

Further marketing to these individuals will create a "virtual shopping" experience on their social media feeds, and keep them coming back to your store for repeat sessions.

This is a data purchasing process. You’ve invested in market share, data, etc. And now, you can advertise in a much more effective way.

Where Shopanova Comes In

Getting to $10K is not easy, but it’s the “easier” part.

At some point, organic ecommerce marketing reaches a point of diminishing returns.

You will hit a plateau and need to pivot to paid ads in order to amplify.

When businesses learn about the potential of paid ads, local store owners are speechless. How easy it is to sell products nationwide blows their minds.

Shopanova has expertise with that next level mindset. If the low-hanging fruit has been maxed out and now your company needs expertise to scale to $100K and beyond, apply for a no-cost growth audit with our team.
