“And those who never stop, make their way out of the woods.”
The beginning of the journey
Working tirelessly from the past 12 years, Darrin proved this proverb by diversifying his business. Darrin Hanson, the owner of Moondigging has been selling online his products on various platforms as an individual and last year, in 2018 he started up with his own business, Moondigging.
Darrin’s firm deals with the manufacturing and selling of various products like men’s socks and mittens, women’s apparel, bags, footwear, ‘mommy and me’ sets, etc. Along with this, his beautifully organized website also has products for pet care like pet food and homes and other industrial tools like adhesives, cork, burlap, etc.
Darrin had a knowledge of how to establish an eCommerce setup which, he gained by his experience over the years. A long list of products can be found over his website, among which, many are manufactured by himself and others are manufactured by 3rd party sources.
To bring up everything to this level, Darrin worked so hard and has been consistent on keeping his store aligned with the customer needs.
Snapshot of his website
Moondigging rose as a small scale business with around 1-10 workers including Darrin. With his vast inventory, it was getting really troubling for Darrin to work effectively. He tells us that due to the lack of manpower, he often falls back on his schedule and is unable to focus on the other important works that he should be doing.
Problems faced
As the firm started to move on the path of selling, various problems surrounded them which slowed down their speed.
Darrin started to realize that the revenue and conversions that he was seeing, were far too less in comparison to the efforts he was putting in. Working for long hours and giving all his time to his business, was even not surfacing the best results that he was expecting.
Darrin’s major hurdles over the time came out to be-
- Low conversion rates
- Low Return over his investments
No one wants to run a business in a loss and no one does business for incurring a loss in the first place. All these hurdles, made Darrin think about looking up for a remedy to his problems and Darrin came up with the thought of diversifying his business by scaling it.
But, Darrin didn’t stop. He kept on doing research on the internet to dig out a solution which can help his business climb the ladder of success once again.
He added, that from a long time he was looking for a solution that can solve his problems of-
Diversifying his business
Attaining More Sales Channel
Scaling of his business
