How many have you sold over all time?
In total I think around 20-25.
How big has each production run/order been?
At first was like 1-2, then 3-5, then 10, then 20 and last PCB order was 25.
feel like you are ordering the same amount every time and then running out and then ordering again
Yes, and no. It's not the same amount every time, but very close to it.
The last order was not big because I had to test if the new PCB design (first time ever using a complete mcu integration on a pcb) was correct before pulling the trigger on +100 pieces and then realise that I've done something wrong.
The next order will be for sure ATLEAST 100 pieces if not more, especially because the more I buy the less I will pay for each of them, meaning more margin for each order.
The PCBs are the only thing that are missing now since I've go enough other components stock to be able to build around 80-90 of them.
Maybe it’s time to make a large order so you have stock and can then focus on ads
My guess is though it’s a lack of stock not a lack of ads that’s preventing the business from growing
Your product is good enough
The product is selling
No reason to keep ordering such small production runs
the first iPhone shipped and was terrible, they’ve improved it every year since. Nothing stopping you from doing the same.
Thank you very very much for your perspective. I appreciate it a lot.
My next move will probably be a way bigger batch than the last ones of course.
