In this new newsletter you’ll get one actionable business idea & learn marketing tactics to help level up your E-commerce store. Let’s get cracking with this week’s idea and steps to generate revenue! 👀 What we've seen In recent years, there has been a significant increase in awareness about the importance of sleep for overall health and well-being. Scientists like Andrew Huberman, host of the podcast Huberman Labs have been preaching the multitude of benefits that sleep brings. Despite this coming into the mainstream, many individuals continue to struggle with sleep-related issues, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and general sleep disturbances. Unfortunately over time, poor sleep quality leads to many chronic health problems including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and even depression. As a result the market for sleep-related products and services is expanding rapidly, encompassing innovative solutions that cater to various sleep needs and preferences. [Source]( ℹ️ Why this matters Since the negative ramifications of sleep deprivation have become more well known, a number of products have emerged to help users track their sleep. One popular product is the Oura ring. Oura monitors your daily activities and nighttime sleep patterns, assigning you a daily score ranging from one to 100. By analysing data from temperature, movement, blood oxygen, and pulse sensors, Oura provides detailed insights into your sleep stages, allowing it to offer personalised suggestions for improving your sleep quality. Whilst Oura is a sleep tracker, we see more products emerge which help users fall asleep faster. Some examples of this are weighted blankets & melatonin infused drinks. However there seems to be a gap in the market when it comes to helping people feel refreshed once they wake up. 💡The idea Establish an online store specialising in high-quality weighted sleep masks with cooling technology. One of the reasons people wake up tired is due to their body being exposed to light before they are ready for it. Weighted sleep masks help relax users, helping them fall asleep faster. The cooling technology keeps their body temperatures at optimal levels, allowing them to wake up refreshed. 👣 Steps to execute Estimated time to revenue: 4-6 weeks - Identify reliable suppliers and manufacturers specialising in weighted sleep mask materials and production. Consider both local and international suppliers for diverse material options and cost-effectiveness. - Choose high-quality, hypoallergenic, and non-toxic materials for the masks' exterior and interior filling. Materials like silk, cotton, or bamboo for the exterior and glass beads or microbeads for filling are popular choices for the cooling sensation. - Create prototypes with different material combinations and weights to test comfort, durability, and effectiveness. Gather feedback from potential users to refine your design. - Design eye-catching, informative, and eco-friendly packaging for your weighted sleep masks. Consider using recycled or biodegradable materials to align with sustainability goals. - Create a user-friendly e-commerce website that showcases your weighted sleep mask collection. Include high-quality images, detailed product descriptions, and sizing guides. Implement secure payment gateways and offer seamless navigation for a hassle-free shopping experience. - Clearly communicate the product’s features, benefits, and usage instructions on the packaging. Invest in professional packaging design to enhance the product’s appeal. 🌱 Grow For those of you who have an existing store here are some resources which I think would be beneficial. - Shopify offers a convenient calculator to help you estimate your expected expenses, along with additional tips to grasp the costs linked to the Shopify Fulfillment Network.
